My friend and I stumbled upon this place waiting for a table at Engine Co. #3. Holy antiques, this…read moreplace is awesome! Antiques can sometimes be ridiculously overpriced, but Atelier has fair pricing, offering 20% off on certain items and giving future discounts of 10% and 20% based on how much you spend. In addition to a variety of nifty antiques, they also have a wide selection of wood crafts. I just wish we had more time to explore! I'll most definitely be back!

Be sure to swing by this place if you find yourself in the area. It is located in the basement/lower level at the Sherman-Phoenix complex.

Except for one 6-year old niece who isn't quite at the age to appreciate cold, hard cash. So I have to buy a thing. I decided to shop at Ruckus and Glee because they're small, local and they offer FREE local delivery! You can't beat that really. So I browsed their site, picked out some unicorn themed thingamajig and BAM, it was at my door in like 2 hours! Amazing service! They have a lot of cool toys and if you have kids, or have to buy stuff for kids you should check them out.

The store is super full though and has excess junk in the back that is visible. Great customer service. Keith really knows his beads and can make whatever you request. We ultimately purchased four bracelets and some earrings that ended up costing $150. I'd say that was pretty pricey honestly. I mean the beads were nice, but not like some expensive/rare stones. I understand part of the charge is labor, but not sure I'd say it's worth that price. Not to mention, one of the bracelets broke after only wearing it once so we need to return to have it repaired-which is inconvenient since we live in Chicago. So...good place to visit...proceed with caution in terms of your purchase.
