Waxman specializes in store-made candles of every size, shape, and scent imaginable. It is the perfect place to go to if you either love candles, or have a friend who does. It's true that a lot of places now sell scented candles for the home, but nothing beats a speciality store like this, especially if you have very particular ideas about what kinds of scents or colors you're looking for in candles.

My first visit to the Chicago Teacher Store was a very positive one. I had previously been to The Learning Tree and was unable to find what I needed for my students, but I found everything I needed at the CTS. They have very clearly organized sections - math, science, art (which they have a great deal of elementary-level art supplies, which is hard to find downtown) - and they have an extensive supply of teacher's resources. Their book selection (resource books for teaching versus trade books) is large and they have lots of classroom decorations as well. I've seen better teacher stores in the suburbs, but I liked this one far better than The Learning Tree.

Cute little Indian clothing boutique. It has lots to choose from and everything is stylish and trendy. What I like about this place is that they have their own tailor, who will size anythign you buy for you, usually within just a few days. Its definitely a great service to have. Make sure to bargain to get the best deals...they will usually give you a discount of about 10-20% if you bargain with them.

This shop is owned by two sisters who also teach classes. I signed up for a beginning knitting class, which was reasonably priced. The yarn, however, seemed a bit expensive (it ended up costing nearly as much as the class did), but again, I'm a beginner, so I don't know much about yarn.
The class size was small and the teachers friendly and helpful. I would recommend it, and plan on taking another class.

My mom has a very painful heel problem so she has to be very careful of the shoes she wears. This store is wonderful for her. They actually help you get custom made shoes so that what you wear is comfortable at all times. They do charge a pretty high price, but it is definitely worth it because you get great shoes that give you comfort for the entire day too. And what I really like about this store is that their shoes come in many styles, so you can get work shoes, party shoes, casual shoes, or whatever it is that you need.

The Art Store is a very good store to go to purchase art supplies for your art class. They have lots of deals on art supplies especially during the start of the school year. I must have spent over $100 on art supplies but they were so much cheaper than other stores. I am very happy with my purchases.

A lovely little storefront on Belmont, to the east of the Red and Brown Line Station, Shanghai Gallery offers a nice array of imports from China, such as the lovely chinese dresses that i love so much, despite the fact they are not designed for buxom girls like myself. The prices are comparable to anything in Chinatown, but the atmosphere isn't quite so Chinatown, impersonal, overly crowded racks, digging through bins. Shanghai Gallery is pleasant and clean, the lovely girl behind the counter is nice, and the merchandise is mostly geared toward chicks. In addition to dresses and slippers, there are little purses and trinkets, as well as anything with an asian print.
