A very much requested list of some of my favorite vintage shops in the Chicago suburbs ! Keep in mind, we just moved to the burbs a few (ish) months ago, so my list is ever-growing! I will definitely continue to update this list as I scope out the antique scene for you all! Happy thrifting!!! xo
- Antiques of Winfield – I’ve had a lot of luck at this one for vintage books, baskets, art, and shelf decor! This one is a big 3 story antique shop with different booths, which is always so nice for more organized browsing! Another reason I love going here is because it’s across the street from 2 other vintage/resale shops (listed below) so you can make it a fun little trip!! There’s a Thai place or a deli right nearby to grab some lunch, too!
- Antique + Chic (Winfield) – right across the street from Antiques of Winfield. Another 3 story shop that’s fun to look around!
- Rejoice Resale (Winfield)– in the strip mall up the street from the other two shops. This one is small and I haven’t personally bought anything here, but also worth checking out when you’re already in the area!
- Happenstance Vintage (North Aurora)– This one has been one of luckiest for good finds! They have everything from art and ceramics to big pieces of furniture, which isn’t super common in vintage shops! My mom bought a big piece of art here as well as some arm chairs, and I’ve found a lot of art, books, baskets, etc. here! Give yourself some time to browse this one- it has a lot of different booths!
- Past & Present Shoppes (North Aurora)– This one is tiny but very close to Happenstance, so worth the stop when you’re in the area! I found a really gorgeous antique mirror here!
- Warehouse 55 (Batavia)– About a 15 minute drive from Happenstance, so I usually stop by both! A really nice shop to browse! They have a cozy sitting area in the front if you’re with someone that may not want to keep shopping haha. Be sure to go to the new location- the old location is still listed on google but is closed!!
- Treasure House (Glen Ellyn)– I love this one because they also have some great consignment clothing pieces! Plus, downtown Glen Ellyn is super cute to walk around and shop/eat!
- Gather & Collect (Glen Ellyn)– A couple doors down from Treasure House! A few vintage booths in the back of the store!
- Sign of the Whale Antiques (Glen Ellyn)– More expensive pieces but an easy walk from the other 2 shops!
- Resale Connection (Downers Grove)– Love this shop! It’s hard to miss in a strip mall right next to the Dunkin’. I’ve had some really great finds here for house decor, as well as holiday decor!
- State Street Market Shops (Elgin)– Really cool booths to browse! Got an adorable antique children’s table and chairs here! They have a spot in the back to sit and drink their free coffee which I loved! Always nice to have when you bring the hubby, too!
- Affordable Antiques & More (Naperville)– This one is really big with tons of booths!!
- Jackson Square Antiques (La Grange)– I love this one! Such a nice, organized big shop. Unfortunately, it is apparently being torn down in the near future for apartment buildings. I am SO bummed to hear that. Definitely make your way there while you can!!
- The Perfect Thing (Wheaton)
- This store is higher-end consignment furniture, so the prices can definitely be high. I found a gorgeous painted antique dresser here, but would just recommend this spot for bigger/nicer pieces! Note, I was able to ask for a lower price on the dresser since it had been sitting for a bit. Doesn’t hurt to ask! There’s a cute shop next door called Stonehouse Market to pop into, too!

I recently moved to the suburbs of Chicago and also got into vintage shopping — I found some cool old baskets and ceramics that fit perfectly in my kitchen. After such trips to antique shops, I return home inspired to cook Asian cuisine, because antique dishes remind me of authentic traditional recipes. That’s when I ordered myself a https://mcdonaldpaper.com/j21-9978-14-inch-joyce-chen-uncoated-carbon-steel-flat-bottom-wok-with-birch-handles/ — a classic uncoated carbon steel wok for quickly stir-frying vegetables and meat over high heat. Now, after hunting for vintage items, I cook stir-fry at home — the aroma fills the entire kitchen, and the food turns out juicy and crispy, just like in the best restaurants.
Your post on such an teresting subject has left me speechless. I regularlyly check out your blogs and stay current by reading the material that you offer; nevertheless, the blog that you have posted today is the one that I appreciate the most.
Greetings all! I’ve recently been trying to manage my bankroll better, so I looked for platforms with flexible deposits. That’s how I discovered https://www.livecasinocomparer.com/minimum-deposit-casinos/. The way they categorize casinos by deposit limits made everything easier to understand. I appreciated the straightforward explanations and ended up finding an option that suited my budget perfectly.
I’ve been using https://lovescape.com/categories/hentai hentai category almost every evening lately and it’s become my favorite guilty pleasure. The way you can craft a perfect tsundere with huge sparkling eyes and explosive reactions is unreal. She starts with the classic “baka!” attitude then melts into total submission so naturally. The generated anime-style images look like they jumped straight out of a high-budget doujin – crisp shading, perfect blush lines, dynamic hair flow. Voice messages with those high-pitched whimpers make everything feel alive. Already spent way too many chips rerolling for better lewd expressions but zero regrets.
