Hopes Attic - (Near Decatur, IL)

Joanne Phillips What a cute hidden treasure in Salem, IL! It has antiques, homemade goods, and a delicious cafe. Don’t forget to check out the basement with even more antiques (lots of mid-century) and also a little museum.

Vadim Sokolov Absolutely loved my visit to this toy and video game store! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable staff who were more than happy to help me find the perfect card game for game night. The shelves are packed with an incredible variety of board games, collectible card games, and classic kid toys—there’s truly something for everyone, no matter your age or gaming experience. The atmosphere is warm, clean, and inviting, making it super comfortable to browse and explore new games. I especially appreciated the helpful recommendations and the chance to try out a few demo games right in the store. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or just looking for a fun gift for a child, this shop is a local treasure. I left with a couple of new games, some cool trading cards, and a smile on my face. Highly recommended for anyone in the area—definitely a five star experience!

Khang Ngo Great place for a walk. I didnt buy much, but I like walking in the mall. Its clean and nice. Staff are nice most of the time. I usually take my mom here and buy her clothes, candles, and lotions. Macy is also connected to the building. Price is high, yet there are sales sometimes. Its sad seeing stores moving out, and less people are coming here. I hope the mall will survive this hard time from Covid and online Shopping.

Christy Martin The owner helped pick out this dress for a pageant and she seriously looked like Cinderella. She made the dress perfect to her size. Very pleasant to work with. And extremely fast on alterations

Tara Evans We had a wonderful experience at Simply Elegant in Lincoln, IL. From the moment we walked in, everything felt welcoming, organized, and genuinely focused on making the bride feel special. Christina was absolutely amazing to work with. She was patient, attentive, and really listened to what we were looking for instead of pushing us toward something just to make a sale. She made the whole process feel relaxed and fun while still being professional and knowledgeable. Her eye for detail and honest feedback helped us narrow things down without any stress. If you’re looking for a bridal shop where you’ll be treated with care instead of pressure, I highly recommend Simply Elegant — and definitely ask for Christina. She made the experience memorable in the best way.
