After experiencing Alton Pride tomorrow, be sure to stop by our shops downtown and check out our Pride merchandise, and then hit Elysian Gallery & Café to check out their fabulous LGBTQI+ artwork!

Time to get today started!

Persnickety by Jen Farley and Strangelovely both sell carefully curated, high end vintage pieces that add real class to any room.

Terra Luna & Its Raining Zen showcase the most elegant of nature's creations with a variety of rare stones and crystals.

You could say it's like you are walking through "DOWNTOWN" ABBEY.

Then you come to our shop. And we sell stuff like this. 🫪

We are the Jerry Springer of the strip! 😁

We will be CLOSED today, but will be BACK in town and back to regular hours tomorrow. Thank you!

Our shop creed is pretty simple:

* Every visitor to our shop is welcome, regardless of age, color, gender, beliefs, orientation, or spiritual path. And you will remain welcome as long as the shop and fellow customers are not disrespected.

* While here, our goal is for everyone to laugh out loud at our inventory, or to say, "I haven't seen one of those in FOREVER!" If you do both, even better!

* As much of our inventory as possible is fair trade, ethically sourced...and FUN.

* We do not use or support AI.

* We do not sell the cheap knockoff (and apparently dangerous) squishies and dumplings.

* We do not believe in having a lot of sales...especially ones where the inventory is marked up and then "discounted" or "BOGO." We work hard to keep our prices as low as possible to start with.

* We support local business over corporate greed.

And we reserve the right to add to our creed as the need arises!

You may have noticed a few empty spaces here and there in the shops. Be patient; we are working on what could very well be the BIGGEST reset since opening our doors!

We are excited, and we think you will be, as well!
