“I visited their new location at 104 N. 9th Street today. The vibe can be described as simple but charming with the antique ceiling and mix matched furniture. It was a bustling place without feeling crowded. We were greeted right away by friendly staff who were attentive but not overwhelming during our visit. One kiddo with me picked his first chapter book while another grabbed some gaming dice. Lots of seating is available for reading, chatting, or getting a little work done. The blueberry lemonade and strawberry lemonades were nice. They have reasonable prices on books, drinks, dice, tumblers, candles, apparel, and more.”
“There’ll be something for anyone and everyone here. I prefer to shop second hand instead of buying new and every time they’ve had what I went looking for. Amazing place!!”
“Decent little thrift store, well organized with decent prices. The staff is always so friendly and helpful! I always find more than I anticipate. There’s frequently sales on items, check the signs when entering. I’ve managed to snag some pretty sweet deals over the years.”
“Always love my trips to GW. Never know what you can find. Most of my gifts this season was from GW or thrifting. The staff is always so nice. One of my favorite places to go”
“If you are looking for the best thrifting in Southern Illinois, you absolutely need to check out the Treasure Trove Resale (#treasuretribe) inside The Painted Cowgirl Market in Mt. Vernon! I’ve been shopping here for my wardrobe and some quality kitchen items, and I can never get over the quality and value. It’s such a clean, well-organized setup; you can actually browse through cleanly laundered, gently-worn clothes and shoes without feeling overwhelmed. The pricing is incredibly fair, and they even run stellar storewide sales that make your dollar stretch way further. The staff is always so welcoming and goes out of their way to help you find what you need. Plus, having it right there inside The Painted Cowgirl makes for a whole afternoon of fun antique and boutique shopping. If you love a good treasure hunt, drop by and see them... you won't be disappointed!”
