Are there any good antique/craft/gift shops in the Chicago Area...?

...where I might be able to turn a profit selling homemade needlecrafts like baby quilts, teddy bears, potholders, table runners, and coaster sets?

Serious answers only, please -- no trolling, no no's, no idk's. I will personally award ten points to whoever gives me the most helpful answer.

    You will make more money showing and selling at craft shows, especially indoor shows where you don't need to be concerned about the weather, and setting up your own booth. There used to be stores that handled crafts, and took a percentage of your profits, but I haven't seen any for a long while. Today, many people take pictures of their crafts and sell them on Etsy.
