Betty's Vintage & Curiosities

I was looking for a place to take my grams memories and wanted to make sure her style would be appreciate. And wow. I certainly found it. Not only that, but the entire place is super RAD! Betty is very kind and her presence just makes you want to smile. She has THE BEST selection at the MOST REASONABLE prices! Seriously, every piece is extremely well curated and you can tell has been handled with such care! This isn’t just a booth in an antique mall. It’s so much more. You can tell a story with every item in the store!

Betty’s shop has a FABULOUS selection of pieces for all body types. She thoroughly describes each piece on her site and showcases them beautifully on social media. I highly recommend checking out her shop in person as well. It gives me all the vibes and her entryway takes you back in time. I’ve been super happy with all clothing and jewelry purchases!

Do not believe any comments that say Betty is a supporter of anything but love and light. She is the definition of those words. I had not met Betty prior to going to her store, but when I did, I quickly became a regular. I go for the clothing, but stay to talk to Betty. My children even adore her! When you visit her store, know her entire heart has poured onto every article of clothing, accessory, and adorable vintage goody.

Went to the shop with my mom a couple of weeks ago and we loved it! We both found some lovely vintage jewelry. I also did the “Blind Date with a Book” because it is the coolest idea ever 🥰 Got a new regular in me for sure!

I don’t live in the state but the owner, Betty, was so thoughtful and helpful with helping me with sizing and everything was perfect and shipping was perfect and without issue. She’s obviously passionate about her shop and it shows in the helpfulness and thoughtfulness she displays. I can’t say enough great things.

Went here with my mom to pick up some things and look around. The shop was absolutely adorable and had so many cute things to look at and buy. You can tell Betty has really put a lot of thought and hard work into what she’s doing and is very dedicated to it. I will definitely be back. The dress and jewelry I purchased from here are beautiful and all items are very reasonably priced.

Fantastic shop with an awesome owner! I got sized so I would know exactly what to look for and I found a wonderful dress and awesome earrings. There are so many fun items! I love to go and so do my bonus daughters!

Bettys storefront sits in the middle of a quaint but upcoming downtown area of Carterville. Her store has so many interesting little things to see, a perfect shop for gift buying. There’s even a cool book room reminiscent of an in-home library. It just needs a cigar smoking area with a rug next to the fire. Cool shop - must see.

Such a beautiful shop! Quality products and friendly service. I don't know much about vintage, but my daughter and I bought a couple of small items and were amazed by all of the different fancy outfits from different time periods. I'd definitely recommend this shop and hope to go again sometime!

Betty’s is a fabulous place!! You could spend hours here, there’s so much cool stuff to look at! Even if you’re not shopping for vintage clothes, there’s an amazing amount of other treasures- books, jewelry and accessories! Dishes and tchotchkes and knick-knacks! And, she is a knowledgeable source for information on the vintage pieces she sells. Lots of GREAT deals here, too! Support this woman-owned local business! A real gem in downtown Carterville.

Betty goes out of her way to provide her shoppers with a unique and comfortable atmosphere in her store. The stuff she sells is neat, too.
10/10, Would ship here again.

I have loved my purchases from Betty's. I love Betty's passion to make others feel uniquely beautiful and comfortable within themselves.

Such a cute shop. Very moody and maximalist inside. The shop was laid out better than any other vintage store I have ever been to. Tags had measurements listed for each garment, and they were organized beautifully. I found some unique vintage pieces to add to my wardrobe, bought over a dozen books, some of which were over 100 years old, and found some gorgeous earrings. I can’t wait to go again. 👍👗📚

Many times I have purchased from Betty and every piece has been absolutely perfect. Wonderful place and wonderful staff! 💓

Betty curates her collection beautifully, and we are lucky she shares her expertise with us.

Favorite local business in the area! Love everything about it including the wonderful Women that own it!

Super clean place and an extremely friendly owner! There’s a lot of good vintage finds from clothing, old books, and really unique pieces. Definitely worth a stop and browse.

Yeah, its awesome. I don't have much anything else to say.

Betty has the most adorable vintage shop ever. Love, love, love. Please go visit.

My favorite vintage shop in Southern Illinois. It has everything!
