eclectique

Amy from Eclectique, my favorite store located in my hometown, was a vendor at Na-Da Farm Sale.

Her space was so bright and cheerful.

I loved all the color.

It looked perfect set against the prairie and cornfields.

Let’s take a closer look.

Awesome huh?

What came home with me…

This chest of drawers.

And the big rectangle frame in the back of this photo.

Plus I went in the store this week and bought more.

Amy has quite the eye and the store is always changing.

She has great artists who sell their art there too, from jewelry to goat milk soap and everything in between.

I bought some of Donna’s soap and LOVE IT!!!  Such beautiful scents.  I have a bar in every bathroom and the kitchen.

So if you are ever in my neck of the woods, stop in at Eclectique and tell Amy “Hi”.


ECLECTIQUE – PLANO, ILLINOIS

 

We have the cutest little store tucked in out small town.

It’s a diamond in the rough.

 

I could spend hours there curled up on the sofa, but Amy might get sick of me.

 

 

Everything in the store is vintage or previously owned.

Many of the items are made locally and created with love from recycled materials.

 

 

You can take in your books and get credit for future purchases.

That is a good perk for a reader like me.

 

 

See that vintage bike in the window.

It is just precious.

 

 

I love it!!

 

I have many more little touches to show you.

 

Come back soon.

 

xo!
