Conveniently located just off Interstate 17 and chockablock with gorgeous old stuff, the Armadillo is open till 9 p. Nicely organized with street signs, the Brass boulevards of merchant boutiques are neatly arranged and frequently restocked, so repeat trips are a must.
We love the rows and rows of glass cases full of rare and pretty small items Hey, is that a Barbie doll? A Shawnee Farmer Pig cookie jar for 30 bucks. A telephone table painted turquoise.
A lady-head vase with barely any chips on her hat. A mantel clock, a painting of a dog wearing a raincoat. An Oxfordware bowl with only a little crazing.
We practically needed a wheelbarrow the first time we shopped at Ilona's, the stuff was so cool and the prices so reasonable. Did we need that mantel clock, that amber glass centerpiece vase, the Harker Corinthian gravy boat?

Vintage smalls also are available at this superb shop filled to the rafters with exquisite old jewelry, super-collectible high-end ceramics, and even some vintage paper products.
Rare Lion also offers appraisals of your collectibles, and its on-site gemologist can help you determine whether that year-old cocktail ring is clad with gemstones or just pretty glass. Join the New Times community and help support independent local journalism in Phoenix.

James Mesterharm, Gymboree's chief restructuring officer, said in a court filing the company was hurt by lower-cost competition from rival brick-and-mortar chains Children's Place and The Gap Inc , which have less debt financing. San Francisco-based Gymboree opened its first store in in California and expanded rapidly, going public in Bain launched a global expansion aimed at overtaking rivals such as Carter's and GapKids, but Mesterharm said the chain failed to achieve the levels of growth it had anticipated.
The stores tend to be located in malls, where declining traffic has taken its toll on specialty retailers and large department store anchor tenants. Credit rating agency Moody's said last week it expects the ranks of distressed retailers will continue to grow over the next 18 months. It said 15 percent of the retailers tracked by the agency are now rated at the lowest end of the credit spectrum. For you.
