I brought my 15 yr old here. She has an old soul as they say. Antiquing is her favorite pastime. As…read moresoon as we walked in, her eyes got big and she said "Mom, I'm going to be here for a while." We were there for 2 hrs. It's a treasure trove of possibilities. There are tons of venders who have sections of items. Some can be pricey, but there are definitely deals to be found. In one afternoon, my kid was inspired to redecorate her whole bedroom with antiques and florals. We bought lamps and pictures, and decor for shelves. She was so happy, which made me so happy. I collect vintage Christmas elves from the 50's. I was so excited to find some. I usually find them at estate sales, so finding one in a shop was a bonus. When we rang it all up it came to $250. We walked out with a lot of stuff, so $250 was a great deal. Just remember they don't do returns or exchanges I can't believe I waited so long to show her this place. I know she'll make me bring her here often.

Snobby employees. Closed minded. Do not support non profit businesses…read more Will not hang a poster for a local musical production. Why is a creative shop like this so limited in their thinking? How harmful can a musical comedy be to their business? Would not even hang the poster in the back for their employees to see. Sad as I've purchased many items here in the past. I won't support this store any longer.

The donations are impeccably checked for cleanliness, chips, holes and working order. There are some awesome deals to be had.

There are special sales each week from books to dishware to clothing. The Gingham Tree is located on the south side of Good Samaritan Hospital.

I do love a good garage sale, and my kid loves shopping in vintage stores, so today we found…read moreourselves at Forest Park Emporium after our planned ice cream outing at the Brown Cow ice cream parlor, next door, ended too quickly. Sadly, the Brown Cow is closed for construction, so we missed out. We had already found parking, so instead of buying ice cream, we went treasure hunting next door. We had a lot of fun moving from one vendor area to the next as we worked our way around the store. It is very, very full of merchandise, but didn't feel super cramped. It would be harder to navigate if you are a larger size or if you need a walker or wheel chair. The aisles and vendor set-ups are narrow, so it does take some patience and balance to maneuver in and around. But everything is clean and well organized, so big plus there. And there is a massive amount of unique things. Smelled fine, too, not stuffy or smoky. The owner was walking around with a spray bottle, tidying up. Owners and customers all wore masks. 6-foot distancing marks are on the floor and additional signs are all around the shop, reminding shoppers about COVID precautions, which was appreciated. I think this would be a fun place to go on a masked, socially-distanced date! Ice cream + treasure hunting.

They do have a lot of things going on incentive-wise about why you should shop here. The money here goes directly towards the Downers Grove High School which is really cool!

The store is a bit small don't get me wrong but it features a lot a lot compared to many other stores. The price is however are unbeatable compared to the big box stores.
