On Apartment Therapy
We finally stopped in the Ravenswood Antique Mart recently, a place that looks so good from the front windows. Inside it's good too: clean, organized, open for browsing without knocking things over, and full of colorful mid-century, art deco, and funky tiki stuff. Prices seemed steep, as they tend to at antique malls...after all, the antiquers are doing the scavenging for you and putting it all under one roof. Much to our shock, we spotted an identical lamp to one of ours. The price difference? $700 versus the $7 we spent at a local thrift shop.

Agree with Jody O. I stopped there this past summer because their window display was just calling me. Took a closer look and picked up a vase, priced for $250.00 that I bought at Pier 1 when I WORKED THERE!! it retailed for $18.00. They have some awesome stuff, I didn't buy anything that day, I felt so cheated and scammed.
Like Julian, I go in there for ideas, and like every other person on here not once have I received a "hello, can I help you find something?"
