Earthly Muse is my favorite vintage resale shop! They have the most reasonable prices in town. Plus, they have a variety of goods, from glassware to clothes and shoes to seasonal items and decor. The new location at 508 W Madison is so inviting. It's clean and the well organized. And plenty of parking! No more downtown parallel parking! Andrea is down-to-earth, friendly and welcoming. She takes great care and passion in what she does. Her estate sales are just as good!
