The Shoppe at Menloville

One crazy eclectic store. I saw a vintage sign for ice cream and thought I’d see food. Instead it was this array of furniture, art and jewelry. Not so much my style but an interesting excursion when I decided to drive down a side street and happen upon it.

What *is* Menloville?
Seriously, what is it?
The best I can describe it as is a antique store/​gift shop/​personal gardener place. I’m trying to be specific, but I can’t, because it is a strange mélange of junk (owner’s word, not mine), interesting antiques, old signs, and a yogurt machine. Yes, they make fresh yogurt, too.
See? I can’t even tell you what Menloville is because I think Menloville itself doesn’t know what it is.
The owner is a lovely woman, though. She let me walk around in the store when it was closed for repairs simply because I drove up, parked outside, and expressed interest in looking around. And she tried to tell me what the store was, but she couldn’t quite explain it herself.
Ah, Menloville, you will have to remain a mystery. A glorious, shabby chic mystery that only denizens of Menloville can unlock.

Yes, they do have great yogurt but also wonderful gifts and unique one of a kind furniture. I go there for all my hostess gifts as well as gifts for my teen daughters and my sisters and mother. I just bought a beautiful table cloth for my wine room there. It was perfect. I buy all my candles there and my very favorite T shirt is from there as well. I also bought a cool belt and a really nice picture frame.
