Snowy Days. Cold Days. Slow Days. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense to keep the doors open until 6pm- it's a good practice to give us a call if it's getting close to closing time. 
Closed on Sundays Beginning October 2022
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday: 11 - 6
Wednesday: 1 - 6
Saturday: 10 - 5
Sunday: CLOSED 
Closed: Easter, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Father's Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve & New Year's Day.
Getting Here
If you are coming by car, the easiest way to get here is on the Eisenhower Expressway (290). Oak Park borders Chicago due west of Chicago’s downtown. Take 290 and exit at Austin Blvd., turning north on Austin and making a left at the first light, which is Harrison Street.  ​For really specific directions, info about public transportation and parking details, click here.
Snow Parking: Click here for info about parking on Harrison Street when it snows.
The shop has a ramp entrance that helps with accessibility – it works well for strollers.  It has been used with a wheelchair, but it's narrow and steep and not the easiest to maneuver.
