There's also some really beautiful and unique vintage patterns as well. If you have an idea what you're looking for ask the owner. Buddy (the owner) is extremely kind, knowledgable, and funny. Some of these comments about him are just plain rude. The store has been in business for 97 years and I hope it continues to be a staple in the loop. I also hope anyone that is interested will give this place a shot, especially if you'd like to support a local business.

It was my first time going after I left that one fabric store in pilsen. I was very surprised. It smells good in the store and everything appears to be clean. Their prices are a bit pricey but they did have some fabrics on sale. I got the chiffon I ended up getting 4 yards and it came out to $26 total. The staff does not speak English and the man that was cutting my chiffon cut a tiny slit then ripped it all the way down. Making the fabric lopsided. That was disturbing. My experience was ok. If Joanns was still open I'd be there but since they're closed this is the next best.

I was guided to the nicest selection of Colony fabrics, with four swatches quickly grasping my attention. Decided to get all four, with 2 chairs each having the same fabric (as a pair), and the remaining two having the other "blended silk" material of fabric. Plenty of selection, but I was specifically drawn to the Old World Weavers and Colony lines. Thank you to the ladies at Merchandise Mart, Chicago, for all of your assistance!

I've…read moredriven by Ravensgoods so many times; if it wasn't here before I moved to the neighborhood, it opened shortly thereafter. This very tiny shop has a variety of items that would be perfect if you need to pick up a gift for someone. They have candles, greeting cards, jewelry, and several baby items. I ended up buying a cute little onesie that has is designed to look like the Chicago flag but with hearts in place of the stars. it's so cute and I can't wait to put it on my little ones. They had several other onesies that were cute. I mentioned to the shopkeeper that I wanted to get a little bean onesie, and she mentioned they carry them but they sell out so quickly and the woman who she gets them from is backed up in stock.It makes sense to me because they're adorable! I didn't realize they had them here so it's good I could pick it up from here if I can't find it elsewhere. Parking is on the street BUT you're in luck because the Brown Line station is half a block away. There's also street parking on Damen and possibly the surrounding streets (not sure, but because it's near a train station I'd suspect it might be permit parking on the side streets).

I was so impressed with the sheer volume and selection of merchandise that you find here. Quality bedding, pillows, fabrics, and home decor accessories that are priced reasonably. They have also recently added small furniture pieces to the store. Make sure that you reserve extra time to look up and down every single aisle, there is just so much to look at, you will definitely need it. It's a hidden gem of a store that if you don't know exactly where it is, you would drive by without knowing that it even exists. Take my advice and make sure you stop in, you will thank me later.
