They are becoming hard to find which is mind boggling to me as everyone needs to dry a dish at some point in one's life! Also, they are super easy to pack! When I buy gifts for folks, I buy socks. Again, reasonably priced and easy to pack. This store answered my needs with three different tea towel designs by the same WI artist, and silly, colorful socks. I also bought decals and refrigerator magnets (not made in WI). Everything I was looking at was very inexpensive. Service was acceptable. The only thing I would have loved to have seen would have been a Lego brick compatible MOC (my own creation) kit of a 3D map of WI, or maybe a polka musician with an accordion wearing a cheesehead, or something else quintessentially WI. AFOLs (adult fans of Lego) are known for paying stupid prices for souvenir Lego kits of places we visit.

I love this little shop!…read more I stop in to Oniomania whenever I need to pick up a fun, unique gift for a female friend. It's also the place where I start my Christmas shopping because I'm able to cross a bunch of people off my list. They have handmade jewelry, assorted knitted and sewn crafts, and awesome purses and even sometimes suitcases. The owner is very sweet and always makes sure his customers have received their pair of birthday earrings. It's a weird location (across from the West Allis Farmer's Market), but I can generally easily find street parking.

Argosy is an Interesting home accessories store. Different than the typical mass market paintings,…read morebowls, vases, Argosy has some unique and handcrafted items that are not available in the big-box stores. There's a odd mix of things here, from handbags and key-chains and jewelry, to candles, tableware and specialty foods. Oddly enough, I really liked this store, even as I recognized I'd have no place suitable for displaying any of what it carried. My decorating style isn't quite so formal. I was really struck by how well coordinated things were, the flow of the store encouraged me to keep browsing and led me from one surprise to another. The little dogs made of beads were adorable and as close as I came to thinking "maybe." The manager was as nice as could be and tried valiantly to get me to buy something, even offering suggestions for the bottled artichoke relish. And as tempting as it all was - I didn't want to pack it. So, I left empty-handed. Still, I'd stop here again simply because I can enjoy looking at things more knowing I don't have to clean it, dust it, or figure out where to put it.

Beyond just a spot to bring the kiddos, it's a wonderful cafe,…read moreserving the tastiest of drinks (I've yet to try the food - but looks like it has a great little line up of options). Tucked into the heart of Tosa, the location is on point. It's no wonder they're regularly busy and have such a welcoming and communal feel. The exterior boasts of beautiful murals, colorful and bright. As soon as I walked in, I was impressed with the atmosphere. All of the modern decor, lots of little things to shop for (by local vendors), a handful of tables to sit at and enjoy food/drink, and a friendly face at the register ready to check you in. I brought both my boys, 3.5 and 1.5 years old, and they had a blast. We booked a slot online ahead of time, which was very easy to do and came with a text & email reminder. When we showed up we paid for our entry ($11/kid for an hour) along with a latte for myself. I could not resist, given the drink options sounds darn good. And let me tell ya, the 'born to be wildberry shaken espresso' is something I need in my regular caffeine rotation!! As for the play area, I thought it was great! Plenty of space for kids of all ages. There were structures to climb, costumes to dress up in, blocks to stack, musical instruments to play, trucks & cars galore, and beyond. Oh and comfy couches for the moms/dads/caretakers to get comfy. All in all, a beautiful and safe place for littles to play! Also awesome: they host workshops, classes, storytimes, and other groups for parents and kids to get involved in. Unfortunately we live a tad out of reach for regular enough visits, but I'd imagine their membership is something worth looking into. I think what I appreciated most was was how community-centered Little Village feels. From the staff to the friendly moms & dad visiting, it was a vibe. Can't go wrong with a visit here!
