If you love antique shopping like me, you're going to be obsessed with this place I go to all the time.

I didn't realize Illinois had so many antique and vintage malls, or I would've been going sooner!  I even started traveling to Wisconsin to find cool shops alike and let me tell you they don't disappoint either.

I'm a sucker for thrifting, antique malls, flea markets, and any kind of place that has vendors with the coolest stuff you can spend hours looking at.  That's why when I started going to Hidden Treasures Antique Mall in Loves Park, Illinois, it became one of my favorite places to visit on a weekly basis!  They have over 30,000 square feet of collectibles, vintage items, and gifts from local dealers.

What makes this place even more awesome?  They're not only local but made the top 8 list of Illinois' Best Antique Stores.
