Love it. Wanted to buy all of it. But who has space for all that!
One of my favorite stores downtown, and unfortunately one of the few locally-owned still standing. Don’t visit Madison and miss out on their shop, or the one next door. If you live in Madison, go for a visit. We love for gift giving but also for ourselves.
Adore this shop! Everywhere you look there is something you must have! Funny cards, great stickers, hilarious magnets, fantastic books, etc. Fun little areas like an area for kids to make a free post card. A place to do a puzzle, everyone does a bit as they walked past! The staff was amazing, it was so busy and I asked where I could find a card I saw in the window, the cashier said, "Oh I will just go get it for you" and got it out of the window!
We visit Anthology whenever we're in Madison. It's a fun shop with plenty of unique and whimsical gifts. Great selection of arts and crafts supplies. Friendly staff.
such a playful and whimsical store w such a wide variety of items. i seriously wish i could get all the stationery here including the cute washi tapes and i really like how anthology also carries things made my local artists. this store is 2 floors (the top is a loft and it’s so cute) and id def recommend checking it out the next time you’re in state street. i cannot describe the desire i felt to browse for hours
