Amazing place to walk around and find unique decor, gifts and more! I love the variety of things and you could go more than one time because it’s ever changing! Booths are reorganized with new items all the time! You’ll find tons of antiques, handmade items, gourmet treats, collectibles, nostalgia, furniture pieces and so much more! We love the KinzieShay booth G9 and and the Sweetest Favor booth right by the fountains. It seems the fountain area is the perfect “gift hub” for candles, bath and body, sweets and treats, puzzles, and so much more! The staff is also super kind, everyone seems to love their job and is happy to help with anything you need! Shout out to Dana, Ally & Noah who do so much planning activities throughout the year and create a nice shopping environment.

In case you were wondering what's going on here... I attached photos and you're going to need 5 hours just to walk half of it. Careful bringing children and letting them roam or run, as children often do. There are genuine antique and breakable items (even I almost knocked over a glass jar/vase.) I'd come here to: kill time, shop for vintage presents, peruse jewelry, vinyls, cds, and comics. There was a fair amount of modern crafts, like 3D printed things, which I bought some cute animals for stocking stuffers this year. However, some of the designs were clearly cloned, maybe from free online patterns, so that made me eyeroll a bit given their price tags and the novelty exploitation. There's also some of what we think we're AI artworks on wall scrolls. I think some of the pricing is ambitious but I'm guessing sellers may set their own pricing in their displays. There was a space towards the back (don't quote me on the location) with a lot of comics and graphic novels that were in like-new condition. I wanted to live there. The diversity of things you'll see here is worth the visit. Count on spending hours here. We arrived, intent on an hour or so, and heard the first hourly music trivia about 10 mins in. Four music trivias later I abruptly turned toward the front of the store and told my teen were checking out and leaving. Yes. Time ran away that fast.

Hello! A.A.M. has so much of everything, but the M9 booth is where you want to shop. I got to meet the purveyor, Kathy, while I was there. Her booth-especially for those looking for GENUINE antique and vintage items-is nicely curated and well presented. I picked up a nearly 100-year-old kitchen scale. The perfect mix of age and condition, and priced properly. Take a walk throughout the mall, but do stop by and shop at the M9 booth. The holidays are right around the corner, so get something unique and personal for those in your life; or for yourself!
