BATAVIA, IL -
Don’t call Eclectibles a craft store.
The Batavia store, which opened on May 1 and sits against the Fox River at 3 Webster St., sells decor for home and garden, but owner July Treend said what they specialize in is anything but crafts.

She said items in the store range from 99 cents to $300. EVENTS Treend said she tries to have a local chiropractor in every Thursday to discuss women’s issues, such as stress and hormone changes. Treend said there is no set schedule, so call ahead to find out when it will happen. |
“Ninety-five percent of what’s in here is used. There are no crafts here. People come here because it’s so affordable,” Treend said. “We have fun with our customers.”
Treend said she moved the store to Batavia because it’s a “better location.” Treend said the store still stocks items from North Aurora merchants that were featured at the previous location, along with many items from Batavia residents.
