| Anyone in the Chicago or surrounding area know where I can find a really good local selection of outdoor fountains, pedestals, and other garden accoutrements? I see these HGTV shows where a designer in California walks into a store that has aisles of beautiful and unusual stuff, and I have never found a place like that around Chicago. Your help is appreciated. |
