Wonderful store and a lot of unique items. Great visit on here and plan to stop by again. I bought a small table under $20 and few trinket items and everything came under $40.

Annual camp out always includes cruising downtown Carpentaria and the Laughing Buddha delights every time we visit. The prices are always right and the vibe is high and tight~
