Antique and vintage wonderland in Chicago!

My absolute favourite place to vintage and antique shop is Beyond Grandma's House Vintage LLC. I could spend the entire day in there, there are so many cool things to explore and discover! They’ve got everything from vintage glassware and porcelain figurines to local art and handmade candles. Plus, the owner, Mary Jo (aka Grandma), is the sweetest. She offers free coffee and snacks while you shop, and she’s full of stories about the pieces.
