Many items (vintage, new, & independent/unique/local) 2 floors diversified products. Very good customer service, she was personable, super friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to see what I find on my next visit and take my friends that I know will enjoy the experience.

Strangelovely is one of my favorite places. I love stopping by to see Kim's latest trinkets, furniture and vintage clothing-finds. Her great taste and sense of style are reflected in the way the store's arranged, as well as in what she sells. I often feel like I'm on a treasure hunt, knowing that there's something fantastic around every corner. We've found many wonderful things there over the past few years (a beautiful pair of Parsons chairs, framed art, golden nesting tables, a gorgeous magenta 1940's dress for me and a vintage brown velvet jacket for my beau, to name a few). So lucky to have this store in Alton ~

Strangelovely is an absolute gem! I could spend hours here discovering unique treasures for my home. The moment you walk upstairs, it feels like stepping into a “rich auntie’s closet”—stylish, elegant, timeless and full of character. Truly a one-of-a-kind shopping experience!

This store carries smart, timeless classics that are vintage without the hefty cost and some of the most amazing vintage and interesting furnishings I’ve ever seen. If the owner, Kim, doesn’t have it, she will find it - and she also does some in house decorating! Go in, meet Kim, find something fabulous! Absolutely cool store & great location!

I was fortunate enough to find this gem a few years ago when redoing my 1922 mediterranean revival. Her pieces are always on point, timeless classics that can truly be integrated into any home for that one of a kind unique feel. I’ve been very excited to see her expansion into vintage clothing! I love going in to her East Broadway location to find fashion pieces that stand out and complement my fashion style. Who wants to wear what everyone else is wearing, when you can find vintage pieces that truely complement your individual style tastes. If you want to standout in your home and fashions this is the place to shop!!!

I want to keep this place a secret but how cruel of me… You have to go, run don’t walk. Overwhelming awesome and curated selection of treasures!!!! Terrific customer service, too. Can’t wait to come back.
