From glowing glass to carved stone, this shop surprises at every turn...
Visit Shop 79, where uranium glass, minerals, and eclectic curiosities create one of the most visually striking spaces in the mall. Shelf after shelf of custard glass practically glows under blue LED lighting, filling the space with warm yellows and soft greens. You'll find souvenir pieces hand-painted with roses and city names, ruffled-edge bowls, covered dishes, pitchers, and delicate compotes. Many pieces date to the early 1900s, and the variety here is remarkable. Below them, a row of miniature glass lamps with painted globes adds another layer of vintage charm for lighting collectors.
Crystal and stone carving enthusiasts will want to take their time with the tall mahogany cabinet filled entirely with hand-carved mineral figures. You'll find skulls in amethyst and jasper, sodalite dolphins, rose quartz owls, agate eagles, and crystal points in a range of colors and sizes. Each piece catches the light differently, and the craftsmanship ranges from whimsical little animals to impressively detailed larger carvings. It's a collection that appeals equally to rock hounds and anyone looking for a unique decorative accent.
The rest of Shop 79 keeps the surprises coming. A white bookcase holds amber Pyrex mixing bowls, a copper Moscow Mule mug, a Van Houten's cocoa tin, pressed glass pitchers, and a vintage hand-crank meat grinder. Carved African figures and wooden zebra and tribal masks line the lattice walls overhead. A bright yellow cabinet showcases Dragon Ball Z plush toys, Seahawks logo signs, Funko Pops, and colorful 3D-printed figures. Out front, a black Peugeot folding bicycle leans next to a mid-century coffee table stacked with plaid thermoses, a Coca-Cola sign, Saab car books, and a longboard skateboard. Whether you collect uranium glass, minerals, or just love the unexpected, Shop 79 is a place where no two items are alike.
