I recently drove 40 minutes to go here, on the hunt for some vintage wall art and maybe something for my mantle. As I walked up, I noted the big signs saying backpacks and big bags were prohibited. I thought that seemed a little paranoid but to each their own, I guess. I’m well dressed and coming in with my teenage daughter and my purse is barely bigger than a piece of paper. I stepped one foot into the store and the woman at the counter immediately snapped that I would have to leave my purse at the counter or put it in my car.

Mind blowing place to visit, definitely a must see! It is massive, anything you may be on a hunt for you will find here! I can't even put words to how breathtaking it is here. I would say to give yourself at least 3 hours or more to walk through here, once you think you have seen it all...there is another room to see!
