From the time that you push open the squeaky front door, your senses are assaulted with the smell of the designer lines of home fragrance that they carry. The space is stocked and pleasantly crowded from floor to ceiling with a variety of items sure to please. From designer cocktail napkins to potpourri, picture frames, home fragrances, personal body care products, cookbooks, and during the holidays specialty ornaments, the Yankee Peddler always has that unique gift item that you didn't even think of before entering the store. They also carry one of my favorite home fragrance lines "Thymes" which is often hard to find. Stop by this unique little shop the next time you are in Hinsdale. There's no telling what you might find tucked away in a little nook or cranny. That's part of the delight of this little shop.

The first table that got my attention was the Father's Day gift. So many items that one could grab for their favorite dad. Whether lighters, mugs, Cubs books or candles so many items. They even had fancy bbq sauce combo kits. This store offers custom pillows to commemorate weddings, births, etc... The price seemed really reasonable. So many different items available for purchase such as gifts, home decorations, candles, party planning, jewelry, clothing and sunglasses. I purchased a pair of sunglasses and earrings. I also had my eye on this umbre hot pink scarf. Store rep was friendly, advised of new customer 10% coupon on highest priced item. She also recommend dining in the nearby neighborhood.

Every time I go they have a bunch of new styles. They have cute bags- I bought 2 adorable, durable beach bags. Identical, but in 2 different sizes. One for travel, one for use here. I even got my bridesmaids gifts here to ask them to be in my wedding. Gorgeous little mirrored jewelry boxes with a different, hand selected pair of earrings in each. When we went to Mexico I got them gorgeous silk make up bags with their initial on them, all different colors. I stuck an adorable little ball of sunscreen lip balm in them. They even have Juliska dinnerware. Love it.

They offer quality merchandise for affordable prices. Most items are listed in Yen but they had US Dollar conversion charts. If you are a Disney lover, they had a lot of items! Most of the truly Japanese inspired items seemed to be in the food/drink convenience area. I was slightly underwhelmed by the store offerings otherwise; but, don't let that sway you from going to see for yourself! Simply a miss for me.

What a treat! First of all, this store is sooooooo cute! It is every girly-girls dream come true!…read more A colleague introduced me to Clever Girl three years ago and every time I have gone in, I have found something that I have fallen in love with. What I love about Clever girl, besides the fact that it's a mini-department store is that they truly strive to curate items that are stylish (without being too trendy), unique and budget friendly. At Clever Girl, you can find women's clothing, accessories (I saw the same enamel bangels featured in "O" Magazine here in some of the most tempting summer colors), items for the home ( the best smelling candles ever), and baby items. You will also find a great selection of greeting cards, other stationary items and exciting odds and ends here. The selection is always changing and it feels like a new store every time I have walked in. And when I leave with my purchases in hand, I always feel like a clever girl ;).

I am not a very cutesy person, bu I felt at home here becasue the items weren't the same old thing you see in this kind of a shop. Back to Ghouls Night Out.

I can't believe how remiss I have been in not writing up a review for Interiors by Maribeth!…read more Maribeth and Jovita have been an essential part in sourcing fabric for our upholstery projects over the last 3 years. Maribeth's eye for color is unmatched. The team is talented and fun to work with, and really approached our projects with enthusiasm and insight, never pushing an agenda. Our relationship began when we were looking for a particular upholstery fabric and color-way from an English fabric company that we hoped to use for a pair of heirloom chairs .... I'd refer anyone who is making big decisions about fabric to check in with Maribeth and her team first!

She really knows her craft, it's like she was born to be an interior decorator. Her ability to put design schemes together is amazing. I swear I think she knows all the paint colors and their number designation(s) by memory. One time she was explaining something to me and I said: "What do you mean?" She drew a sketch of it and it looked like a masterpiece in the Art Institute. Years ago, the rental market was 'down' and I'm a landlord. I couldn't rent out an apartment and I had at least seven showings. I said to myself, I'll call Maribeth (get the color schemes) and have the apartment repainted. I did just that, first showing after Maribeth and the new paint, the apartment rented in the FIRST showing. As a matter of fact, I will NEVER use any other interior decorator, but Maribeth.

Years ago, they completely transformed my space, leaving not only me but my friends and family in awe. So it was a no-brainer to return to them. While they no longer offer full interior design services (which is a real loss for anyone who hasn't experienced their magic), they more than made up for it with their stunning selection of Marge Carson furniture--an iconic brand with nearly 80 years of design excellence that Linly Designs now proudly owns. The result? A match made in design heaven. The quality of the furniture is nothing short of extraordinary--elegant, timeless, and meticulously crafted. And Linly's service? Still first-class, just like I remembered. From consultation to delivery, every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The best have truly partnered with the best.
