Not sure if they worked there or not, but they never took their eyes from several young girls. Maybe they were looking at flies flying around from the filthy store.

I took my aunt from New York here who is a thrifter like me and she loved it and can't wait to come back. He only takes cash which is the downside.

I overheard the owner tell someone that he attends many auctions and the store reflects that. It is INCREDIBLY crowded and there is stuff stacked on stuff, all the way to the ceiling. The things that have prices are way overpriced. The desk where you pay is either a hoarders dream or will trigger your worst fears! It was all too much so I just left.

3 Charming Chicks is such a creative and affordable place to shop. I'm going to miss them. The…read morefirst week-end in May will be their farewell. Lucky for us thrifters, a new business called Terra-Cotta will be taking over. The reason I enjoy shopping at 3CC is I can find treasures at cheap prices. I love the bargains you can find at yard or estate sales, but I don't have the patience to drive around and shop them. That's why I love the ladies of 3CC, they do the shopping, buy the best offerings and bring them together at their showroom. Then I shop their boutique and get my goodies. Also within their showroom there are a variety of other vendors who offer; jewelry, greeting cards, jellies and clothing. It's almost like a famers market, but for home decor and clothing. While shopping, if you need to use the restroom, you will see a very stunningly beautiful non-gender specific bathroom. It's a deep green, has four separate stalls with floor to ceiling walls and three basins to wash your hands. I wish all public restrooms were this posh. The ladies who are the 3 Chicks, are charming and make shopping their showroom a fun experience.

This is such a fun place! My groups love going here and shopping - a whole busload of goodies!read more

I was waited on by a young man named Charles, who was one of the friendly sales associates that I have encountered in a long time. He was very helpful and patient. He represented the shop well.

Slow down as you approach the address, as it's set back from the street. Look for the large lit sign and banners, then pull in the shared driveway to a small private lot and get ready for a great shopping experience. The couple that operate the store were extremely friendly and helpful. They buy and sell! The store seems to specialize in glassware, ceramics, crystal, china, and other household items - but there are also toys, games, model trains, Disneyana, and even a beautiful Seeberg Jukebox waiting for their next proud owner! There's also some nice antique furniture, cabinets, chairs, bookcases and the like. No junk! Prices clearly marked! And the prices generally seemed pretty reasonable. And cabinets are unlocked so you can browse and select without needing to wait for the key!! We bought a full set of beautiful last century Christmas ornaments, an aluminum drinkware set, a 60's NASA commemorative glass, and a pair of beaded pears for about $30!! A great antique store in the Greater Saint Louis area, minutes from Afton IL, just across the Mississippi! We will be back!!

Everything from dinnerware to clothes, to jewelry and toys, and books and craft supplies and cradles and kitsch. We could have spent so much time digging around in here. We weren't looking for anything specific, just spending a lazy day wandering town. I ended up buying a super cute Halloween cookie plate for a steal at $5. This is a hidden gem of a spot, and I'd definitely visit again if I'm ever in Alton again.
