This small, old tin-roofed house on Market Street fascinated Jill and I so we went inside to investigate. we found that it is a historic site in Kimmswick called The Vaughn-Nies House. It has been restored to its original look.
Today it is a shop for small items mostly.
Again, I wanted to look at the Italian charms.
What to buy: Tiny Treasures specialize in Doll House Miniatures. But, they also sell Quilts, Colonial At Home Candles, Miniatures, Crafts, Collectibles, Food, and Link Bracelets and Charms.
What to pay: Prices range from $2.00 to hundreds of dollars for something such as a quilt.

I had read that a shop in Kimmswick, Missouri, carried authentic Zoppini Italian Charm bracelets and watches. Zoppini is made in Florence and originated the famous Italian modular bracelets; thus, Jill and I had to visit this clever place.
As you are able to see from Jill's COLORED PHOTOGRAPH, it's a "zany" place!
I collect the charms for the Italian Charm braclet , and since I was looking for as many country flags as the places that I have visited, I was delighted to find one that I needed, Great Britain.
What to buy: The shop has all kinds of unique, fun gifts to purchase. Some of them are "way out"; however, they also carry such nice jewelry as Zoppini (interchageable solid 18KT gold and stainless steel modular charms to create your own bracelets).
What to pay: The Zoppini charms start at $18.00.
