Yummy’s Cakes could be missed by the average person. Once you stop in this shop you will definitely return. Do not forget to ask for the frequent purchase card. You will be hooked. The carrot cake is extremely moist. The Turtle Cake is SO rich. You can not eat a normal sized piece of these cakes. But you will sure give it a try!

I love this store!,,,that said the review is over! Just kidding....although I don't know what else I can tell you except I haven't received help like I get here since I left my hometown of 1000 people and its tiny hardware store for the 'big city" over 20 years ago!
this store has everything from soup to nuts...and bolts...and paint...and ladders...and hammers...and just about anything you could want. I have looked all over town and about given up when I remembered this place and what do you know?!?...they always seem to have just what I needed....and at good prices as well.
The customer service here is top notch as well. When I needed to shore up the legs on a coffee table my youngest had loosened, I engaged the advise of a clerk here and he knew exactly what to do! Just when I was about to give up in despair and buy a new table he came up with a solution for under $10....not bad at all!
The bottom line is this...though this is an "ACE hardware store" it is like no other ACE I have ever shopped. Check out this store and you will see what I mean....you turn back the hands of time to a day when customer service was top notch when you enter here...you will be pleased! I sure am!!!!

Have you ever needed a little something to bring life into a room? I'm not talking about the kids. LOL The Hobby Lobby store is the place to look. Not only does it have a huge array of home decorator items, but there are craft items galore, quilting and sewing supplies, a huge section of silk flowers, greeting card and wrapping paper areas, framing, well you get the idea. Prices are reasonable and the sales can't be beat.
Sometimes when I am needing something to perk me up I just go to Hobby Lobby to browse. Something about doing that makes me feel better whether I buy anything or not. You always come away with lots of ides on things you could do.

I am a collector of Fontanini Navitiy pieces and when I discovered Lemstone carries this line I was thrilled! Beginning their stay in Coralville at nearby Coralridge Mall, they have since moved to a small strip mall directly in front of Geico. It is extremely easy to find, has curbside parking and is a large, bright, friendly place with knowledgeable pleasant staff as well. You can find in addition to Fontanini, Christian music, books, toys and videos/DVD’s. All items are top quality, tasteful and professionally produced and are attractive as well. The prices are reasonable here and the staff is all too willing to help you make selections and in certain instances can even special order items for you. Check them out in their new location and enjoy the store…it is a nice change from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

I have got to be perfectly honest here. I never thought I would be a fan of a store that sells HIGH priced items but since I promised to come clean here....I am and I am proud to be a fan of the pinkest store in the mall!
I don't think I have ever found ladies undergarments that fit as well, are long lasting and look as good at the ones sold in this store. Not only do they seem to come in dozens of every color and pattern but this store updates its stock with new items so often that you begin to "collect" the latest as soon as they arrive.
In addition to the great selection and fit, they also run some decent promos They recently had a promo where you could get a "pink " dog with a pink purchase. Now that may not sound like much to most of you but I promise if you come home with one of these pink dogs and give it to the pre-teen girl in your life she will be in heaven!....It seems these are "in" to collect....what a perfect excuse to make repeat visits to make sure your little fasionista has all the patterns available! And did I mention their "pink" line is really nice fitting!?!...It IS...and cute too...I especially like the way some of the "pink" line can be worn as lounge wear or day wear....real attractive and well made too.
And the line of candles VS carries is an unexpected bonus here too. I hate when candle scents bowl you over with harsh, sticky sweet odors...not so with these candles...they are soft, delicate and ones you will want to buy not just for yourself but to give as gifts as well.
Now to the prices......this is where some may be turned off....prices are a bit on the high side when one item is purchased but as you meet the qualifications (easily found on posters throughout the store) the per item price drops considerably....actually lower at times than comparable items in other mega stores.
On customer service...I have never had a problem with the women in this store being anything less than helpful and had had them on a number of occasions go search for a specific pattern or color for me to complete an outfit. The employees here seem knowledgeable and helpful and actually seem to enjoy their job...a plus for this shopper!
Bottom line is this....go to this store, try on their items and then report back here....I'd love to hear your "take" on VS.......I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised!
OK....I had to change my rating to a 5...though they still don't offer a lot of coupons or promos...the attitudes and personalities of the associates that work there far make up for the lack of "goodies"...so here you are "Vicky's"....AAAAA...... :-)

This entry is written to inform readers that VILLAGE IMPORTS has now closed and is no longer operating in the Iowa City/Coralville area.
Though it saddens me to report this closure I understand completely, as the owner had been in business for many years and felt he needed a change.
I wish him all the luck in the future and I thank him for the years of beautiful clothing and accessories he shared with his customers!

Most of you who have read any number of my articles, know by now that I LOVE antique re-sale shops BUT I am a hard person to please when it comes to quality of merchandise and appearance of store. And to be brutally honest, I had no intention what-so-ever in checking out this store. Until I began re-decorating my young son's room and I was encouraged to check out the place for something unique.
Upon driving up this store, I was filled with misgivings....it's humble, actually shabby, outside appearance made me pause and debate whether I really wanted to enter or not....after all I was only half a block away from the mall and bargains galore....did I really want to spend time in a re-sale/antique store!?!
Boy am I glad my inner voice urged me to check this business out further. As I walked into the store I immediately struck with the neat, room like arrangements of furniture and accessories! This looked like a little furniture gallery, except the items were "gently used". When I use that term, I mean they were mostly items that were antiques and a every one of them was shined to a gleam, and clean as well. There wasn't a nick or chip out of the china, or a rip in the lace tablecloth. This was top notch stuff and stuff most of us remember from Grandmas's house, not the super store down the road!
I was lucky when I entered to be greeted by the owner herself and I must admit I stayed a lot longer than I had anticipated simply because she was so friendly and helpful. She explained how and when she began this business and how she prided herself in showing her wares in the best way possible! I totally agree....her settings were not only tasteful but arranged in a way that helped the shopper "see" them in their own home. A definite step up from some other stores in the area that toss their items on dusty shelves and let them lie.
And prices! All I can say is I was in shock.....but a good shock! the prices were not only reasonable but were easy to find and easy to work into the tightest of decorating budgets! This lady knows her stuff folks....she isn't over charging but rather putting a fair market value on her wares and waiting to see if they sell.
This store is basically a re-sale, consignment shop intermixed with antiques. Because of this, the merchadise may change daily due to demand so if you are thinking about an item, my advice would be to buy it, it may not be here tomorrow.
The bottom line is this folks...I was really impressed with this store...so much so that I am already planning my next trip there. And will I buy? Well let's just say, the "stow and go' package on my mini-van is going to get a workout! Happy shopping....see you at KIT AND KABOODLE!!!

Beautiful, unique, and high quality clothes and excellent customer service. They do a really nice job of carrying a range of lines and a range of prices.
In addition to clothes, they carry jewelry and other accessories that are perfect for gifts. And the store itself is so physically beautiful. It's a treat to just be in there browsing.
We are so lucky to have such a cool shop here in Coralville.
