If you haven't checked out Yearbook, you're missing out! A true gem located in Forest Park, IL…read more Yearbook gets my vote as the best shop! A great mix of antiques, vintage decor, and great gift ideas! The visual displays are on point. You can tell the shop owners plan out every detail and their passion and dedication shine through! Their window displays are just a tiny snap shot of the amazing shop that Yearbook is. In addition, their design services are top notch! If you're lucky, during your visit, you may get to meet the official Yearbook mascot, shop dog Henry Clarence. Henry is currently running for president and has done an amazing job raising money for all the animals at the Oak Park animal shelter. I highly recommend Yearbook! Check them out, you won't be disappointed.

When a friend mentioned that there was a VIP shopping night at three places I had heard of and wanted to go to, I was all in. We were assigned to Yearbook first and I was so impressed by everything about the store. From the friendly owner and manager, to the quality of the products and the incredibly reasonable pricing - plus the special discount for that night! I finally got the maple syrup jug (made and bottled just for them) that the husband had wanted and picked up some of their store-exclusive candles (no typical boring scents here!) and a vintage travel case and some wood handled toothbrushes. I've got to go back soon and visit the studio to have some crew-themed pillows, etc. made to bring me back to the days when I actualy rowed. I am so glad we had this forum to shop because I would have missed that things you would just assume are decoration (because they are vintage) are actually for sale! LOVE - I cannot say enough great things about this place.

This is a wonderful resale thrift shop! I go to alot of different places like this all over Ill…read more But this is the first resale shop that is wonderful in almost every way! I wish they had more hours. But what they have offers enough time for me to shop there. Such a pleasant shopping experience! My Husband luvs the store too & trust me he is not into shopping. We both had a great time! The store is super neat & the prices are low to very fair. Push baskets to shop with. Enough room to browse around. Round racks for clothing so you don't have to be in a narrow isle & in someone's way. Dressing rooms if you need them. The clothes & other items are very nice. Not junk as other stores try to sell & for high prices. The prices are good & reasonable. I go for clothes & more. But they do have a very nice selection of furniture, dishes & house items, toys, shoes, nice coats & much more. This was my first time shopping at this wonderful store. I plan to go back as much as I can. I was lucky to be there when all blue tickets of clothes were only $1! Yes, $1!. You can't even buy anything at a $1 Tree store for $1 anymore! Some things are a bit pricey but not bad at all! I love shopping at store like this. Many people donate nice clothes etc. Also I luv finding different kinds of jackets, coats, tops & more that you do not see in chain stores. The staff is very friendly greeting waiting to get in customers with a cheerful "Good Morning" & so pleasant to deal with. For the holidays I see the store has extended hours. The down side is the regular hours are only 3 weekdays open from 10 am till 4 pm. But I will take it. I am retired so very lucky I can shop here & it is not super far for us to drive to. There is a huge parking lot in the back as well. I can't wait to shop here again. For some time I was shopping at another thrift store & 1 of the volunteers was so unpleasant & mean to me. So, It looks like they lost alot of my business. This is another reason I am so happy Gerry & I finally tried this store. We always drive by it & now we can shop here & find some nice things. A very cheerful & pleasant shopping experience for sure.

I rung the doorbell and a grumpy old man with glasses came to door. No hello, no verbiage. Either he has a vocal problem or didn't want to be bothered I couldn't figure it out. He reached for a bag I placed on the ground and took it inside. He came back and thought I was going to hand him the 2nd bag which I placed it on the ground for him. A short older guy came to assist and he took the luggage and 3rd bag. He told me to have a nice day but I requested a receipt. The grump man gave it to me. The shorter guy thanked me for the donation. I know these guys volunteer their time. I just can't deal with with rudeness at any age.

Oh Em Gee, I found my new obsession. This store has designer clothes for less than half the price…read more Not only do they have designer clothes, they have bedding, household items, Home Decore, kitchen essentials, shoes, purses and a whole lot more. I went there yesterday with $150 in my pocket, I. E., It was for my birthday and I came out with a big old bag full of wonderful new clothes. I had recently gone through a 40 pound weight loss and I was desperately in need of new every day and they have everything. The only thing I could not find and maybe it was because I didn't look as well as I should were PJs. I did find some robes though. I found the purses were a bit on the high side. And I did not find as many shoes as I wanted to, however to be frank and honest it is and give season. All in all I will most definitely be going back to Ross dress for less in the very very very near future. Love that place

I'm such a sucker for Ross. When I saw one was opening near my favorite Target (where I do my…read moreweekly grocery shopping), I thought, "Oh oh...this is gonna be dangerous." This store was all shiny and clean and organized. I found a bunch of great items - all for cheap. As I cut the tags off at home, I noticed some great brands - I didn't even do that on purpose! I got a Karl Lagerfeld work blazer, a Marc blouse and an Anne Klein blouse - all are well-made and very expensive looking - for under $20! I got a bunch of other stuff too - some brands I have never heard of - but it's great to find some really nice work clothes and have people compliment you and know you got a steal! Great store - I'll be popping in to see what they have each week to see if I can snag some great work clothes!

Got to the store they tell me the table is $349 woowow, I pull it up on my phone and show then and well that did not matter to them. Then the chairs are $99.99 each, also different online. I needed the set liked it and went a head and purchased it. We get to the end of the transaction and the commercial said FREE DELIVERY, well guess what IT WAS NOT there you go another $129. In the end a $500 to $600 adventure turned into $842.44 hummmm. I was hoping to furnish my new home at the place We will see .. they do have some nice stuff.

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!

I cannot say enough good things about Maribeth. She's the only decorator I use & I've been in the…read morereal estate game for thirty years. Maribeth is mind boggling, actually. 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.

It's tough to review a place like an antique store that has everchanging stock. What they might not…read morehave today, they could have tomorrow. So that said, there are two things that are reviewable at such a store; people and presentation. Forest Park Emporium did well on both points. I went there looking for a handbell and found one after maybe ten minutes. But the guy who was overseeing the store kept looking and actually found one that was more suitable for my needs. As for presentation, I strolled through most of the "booths" there and they were all pretty clean and in good order. Much easier to shop and look for things in a store like this. This was my 2nd or 3rd visit and I'll be back again I'm sure!

Well done and if you are a creative person; you may spend some time here. Grabbed some Bit O Honey before reaching the register, easy friendly checkout. Closed on Sundays, free parking for customers outside. Directions; if you come from the South it's easier to enter their parking lot, from the north the entrance is directly across from the Binny's , or you can go further west across from Woodlawn Cemetery there is an exit to South; U turn is legal there, there are no signs forbidding it. I thought the value was good for the products received.

**Extremely disappointing experience.**…read more This was my second consecutive bad experience at Hobby Lobby, but yesterday (8/26 around 5 PM) was the final straw. We were checked out by an employee named Oscar M, whose attitude made us feel extremely unwelcome. He rolled his eyes, shook his head, and acted as though assisting us was an inconvenience. We spent **over $200** at the store, but honestly, the experience was so unpleasant that we are now considering returning everything for a full refund. All of the items are still sitting in the bags at home. Customers should be treated with basic courtesy and respect, regardless of how much they're purchasing. It's incredibly disappointing to spend that kind of money somewhere and leave feeling unwelcome. Hobby Lobby needs to seriously address its customer service.
