Man, it's a GOOD thing I live nowhere near this store, or I'd be in big trouble…read more My mom discovered this gem of antique goodness about a year ago when she found me a vintage bird cage as a gift. She finally brought me in there last fall on our way out to Starved Rock, and had I not needed to save money for Xmas gifts, I would've likely gone crazy... Plan on giving this store at LEAST an hour. There are 2 levels, and it's not that the place is that large...there's just that much crammed in here. The first floor holds clothing, outerwear, jewelry, accessories (shoes, gloves, bags), housewares, furniture, collectibles, etc. (The owner has, by far, the LARGEST selection of vintage hats I have ever seen and they are in impeccable condition...) My coolest find that day: Huge wooden yarn spools (easily half the price of what you'd pay on the internet or anywhere in Chicago.) Speaking of $$, her prices are reasonable, and she's very willing to make deals. And for the GUYS: the entire basement of the store is full of old tools, printers' drawers, trunks, signs, even a lobster trap! If Anthropologie discovers this place, I'm screwed...but that's great for Country At Heart!!

This store has been in town for many years. The owner is not native to marseilles; however, he has…read moretaken an active role in community events and concerns. He and his family have definitely made Marseilles their home and are very active in all-things Marseilles. He is an unofficial city historian, too, and enjoys talking about "the good ol' days." He is friendly, personable, knowledgable, and seems to be an all-round good egg. His store is large and has numerous and varying items. He freely admitted it was "a bit dusty," when I visited. It is and a good dusting would do. He has so many goodies that it will take you a while to look through it all. If you do not see something you want, just ask as he has rooms full of goodies else where. Prices of some items seem a bit high but he tries to work with you. Each time I have purchased an item I have been satisfied with the price, of course. I really enjoy the store, which is protected by Tabatha the kitty. There is so much to see and Tabatha just might escort you through the shop. Definitely stop in. It is worth it.

When I called them on this they said that it would cost X amount of dollars to ship it...more than I paid for the item itself. Then I went back and read reviews about this business, and it turns out that other people have had great difficulty with a lady named Sue. I do not recommend this business to anybody that wants to do honest interactions, and receive quality customer service.
