Mary Jo runs one of the best shops in the area. She has single-handedly put the town of Donnellson on the map. If you collect blue & white dishes, cookbooks, quilt tops, cookware, the Loose Caboose is a place you should definitely check out!

Mary Joe has curated a beautiful collection of antique and vintage dishware--beautiful patterns--along with glassware and linens.
If you are in the market for a unique find at a great price, this is the place to go. It's worth the drive out to Donnelson to lay claim to your own vintage item or to find that special gift for someone else!
