I lived in Missouri on and off now for 5 years and that state has become our home.
I love the people in Missouri always so friendly, I love the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Funny, I have traveled around the world but Missouri’s sky continues to be one of my favorite. It may be the way the sky paints itself in all hues of orange in the morning or the way the sun appears through the hills of the Ozarks. I love Missouri for more than just the sky.
Another wonderful feature of the State is the wonderful people and the lovely family owned businesses. One of my favorite shops happens to be an antique shop in a very quaint and beautiful place.
A couple of years ago friends of mine opened their Antique Store in Richland Missouri and I would love to tell you a little bit about it.
First let me tell you about the town of Richland. If you are driving down Route 44 in Missouri you are about 20 minutes away from the city center of Richland.
Richland used to be a prominent town along the railroad tracks between Saint Louis and Springfield Missouri.
In 1869 a Surveyor named M. Santee saw a need of towns along the railroad tracks and this is when Richland was built. One of the first stores built was H.E. Warren Store which is still prominent today.
According to the Richland website “By 1890, Richland was a thriving business center with active stores, a band, newspaper, public school, a private academy, churches, lodges, two flouring mills, a sawmill, broom factory, marble works, lumberyard, two hotels and many professional men.”
My friend’s store used to be an older building which looks like it used to be a lodge. Located on 107 S Walnut St in Richland, Missouri Penaroyal Antiques & Collectibles is a place full of treasures for the whole family.
I absolutely love the gardens in the store, as soon as you cross the fence I feel that I went back in time. The garden is absolutely beautiful and welcoming. The house/store is a beautiful victorian style building.
The owners are so sweet Penny and Roy are amazing people and they will make you feel so welcome in their store.
As soon as you enter the house you will see the beautiful staircase leading to the second floor, which in my opinion is my favorite feature of the home. I am pretty sure it is Roy’s too.
In the store you can find decorations for your entire home bringing a little bit of old into your new home.
I have to admit I love antique shopping, I love antique books , I love antique tea sets, I love antique toys.
At Penaroyal you are sure to find something to lift up your day!
So, here is an idea for a fun date day…
Get $10 for each of you and go antique shopping. The goal is to find a unique gift for your spouse for less than $10…. On top of being super fun walking around and shopping you get to find something unique for your special someone. Make sure you take pictures along the way and post them as you go.
Well, if you are ever in the beautiful state of Missouri make sure you go visit Penny and Roy at Penaroyal Antiques & Collectibles.
Make sure you let them know that Raquel really misses them!
