Urban Artifacts is the perfect local shop to find gifts for those people that you have trouble shopping for. It’s got the most fun and unique inventory in Peoria and it’s filled with one-of-a-kind items that you won’t find anywhere else in town.
Let’s head on over and I’ll show you what I’m talking about!
Here we are at Urban Artifacts in West Peoria on Sheridan near Main Street.
Check out the holiday fun in the window and the entrance is that-a-way…
Right over here.
Let’s go inside and take a look around in this fun and unique shop!
When you walk in, it’s kind of overwhelming because there’s so much to see in here!
Check out that festive Christmas display over there! Very nice!
There’s Gina behind the counter with her daughter, Kaia. They’re both looking pretty and you can definitely see the family resemblance!
Great chatting with them and now let’s take a look around in here!
I could wander around in here for days, there’s so much fun stuff in here. I love the Rulers of Art, I have the Buddy Holly one on display here at MBIP World Headquarters.
Wow, look at that old-time phone!
How in the world did they carry those around back in the day? And I don’t see a screen on it, how did they look at the internet on it? So many questions and oh so little time!
Vinyl has been making a come-back and there’s a good selection of albums here at Urban Artifacts.
I love how Moon Martin is peering over the top of the bin he’s in!
As you can see, there’s a lot of Peoria-related items in here, if you’re looking for a true local gift.
Check out the KZ-93 album of Gary Olson’s Birthday Burns! I used to go on Gary’s show back in the late ‘80’s!
Check out all of the fun socks and there’s a full Stuckey’s supply of pecan goodies.
The Warehouse is open!
Yikes, check out the creepy heads on stools!
There’s more fun items over here in the Urban Girl section and even more socks!
And yes, Chad Wallace, Bob’s Big Boy is still in the shop! You’ve got 17 shopping days left to come and get it before the hollerday is here!
Okay, as always, I’ve bought a Xmas gift for the next person who walks through the door and I think I see one coming now…
Sara was the lucky winner of this week’s Xmas gift.
I got her the Gary Olson album and I’m not sure if she completely understood what the hell was happening! It’s Xmas magic!
