Krofts Emporium

A friend and I stumbled across Kroft’s Emporium and were immediately enchanted by this shop. The owner has put together a lovely and eclectic collection of estate sale treasures, remaindered items, and handcrafts. She has put them cunningly on display in the warrenlike rooms of this building, and the shoppers wandering through the rooms were all murmuring in delight. The shop is clean and neat, and odd little bits of history are displayed with just the right combination of charm and irony. I can’t wait to visit again.
The shop is a bit off the beaten path in the Grand Pacific Junction shopping area, but it’s worth wandering across the street and down to Kroft’s. I went in looking for nothing in particular and made several purchases that left me smiling. The prices are reasonable, and the merchandise fascinating.
