This visit was a surprise, to see such an upscale, well designed home decor store in such a small…read moretown and in the older more rustic area. We had been shopping in the hardware store across the street and on the way to a light lunch took a look here first. We saw beautiful accent pieces and small items but clearly they do a lot of design with custom fabrics too. Apparently they must have been working on such a project in back because we did hear some voices in quiet discussion, but there did not seem to be a way to summon someone from the counter. I did find something I wanted to buy but had some questions. We eventually went towards the back and asked if someone could come out front to help. A staff member or perhaps owner did come out and gracious offer to help. The item I wanted was packaged in such a way that it was impossible to see how to hang it or otherwise display it without opening it completely and taking off the tags. The staff said she had never seem them out of the package herself so she did it. There were several styles and I was only interested in the bees. It would have been nice if they had on choice open on display to make it easy for the casual browser. I did get the item, which was hand made in Denmark of felted wool though actually priced very well. Everything was handles so nicely and I wish I could have chosen more items from here when I was still decorating my home, but the item I got is a nice memento of the trip and the town. I only worry that they might need a higher presence in the front room for security reason and to encourage people to linger and buy. Maybe they do on the busy weekends and normally have few customers on a Monday morning.

The person at the front didn't bother to look up when we entered or even acknowledge or ask if we…read moreneeded help. However was very friendly to the next two people entering? Not sure what that was about but i definitely felt unwelcome and uncomfortable.

On the recommendation of a friend, I recently checked out Dexter's downtown. I like shopping…read morelocally and giving my money to small independent shops instead of big national chains whenever possible, and Dexter is a good place for this. They have nice shady parks, a local history museum, and lots of independent shops, coffee houses, and restaurants. Parking is phenomenally easy-- and free. While I was here, I passed The Cookie Momster, a Victorian-themed gift shop, and a Bear Claw coffee on my way to the Dexter card shop. From there, I visited Christine's, a gift shop, and bought a butterfly finger puppet for my niece whose fourth birthday is coming up soon. From there, I strolled over to the Dexter Bakery and got a really good donut. If you're looking for somewhere cute and quaint to do some shopping or meet a friend for coffee or lunch, Dexter is an excellent choice.

I also saw a lot of Baggu items, which is a brand that I really like. Lots of stuff I hadn't seen in person before, like the teeny tiny backpacks. They also had a lot of local art, jewelry, cards, candles, and more. It's a great spot for finding a gift for yourself or your favorite gal pals! Unfortunately I was not greeted when I came in nor when I was browsing, which I feel is such a small thing that can really make a difference when shopping. The person at the counter was with another customer, but even just a quick, "hi, welcome in!" can be so nice. That said, I would come back in the future just to check out what they have in stock.

Located in Kerrytown across the street from Detroit Street Filling Station, this woman-owned business is stocked full of so many unique and thoughtfully curated and sourced items. You want to come here for all the most unique and gorgeous looking goodies to gift to yourself and your loved ones and make sure to stop by often as they have a rotating selection of goodies throughout the seasons and months as well! They always have gorgeous window displays, the employees are always so happy to see you and the service is wonderful, and this shop is just so dreamy! Things are definitely on the pricey side here, but everything is really high quality and they feature a ton of local artisans in the area as well. There's nothing I love more than an intentional shop and you can truly feel how intentional Thistle & Bess is in every detail their store contains. Absolutely lovely and always worth a peruse whenever you find yourself in the Ann Arbor area!

Now they've expanded in there and they've filled the space with even more beautifully curated goodies, new and "found." There's a bit of everything in here, perfect for finding a gift for a friend, family, or a partner, or a little goodie for yourself. They've got beautiful art prints from independent artists, handmade ceramics, plus stationery, a bangin' candle section, lovely housewares and textiles like throws, pillows, and tea towels, plus jewelry, the list goes on and on. Plus when you shop here you're really shopping small, because most of what they carry falls into that category. If you go to their website you can take a look at a list of the artists they carry in store, and I love recognizing names of friends and people I admire in their respective fields. It's a delight digging through all their offerings and I highly recommend you get there soon to do it yourself!

I walked out with a gift and a little something for myself, but definitely had to stop myself from getting more.

Prices were pretty average, but they had some awesome sale stuff from the recent holiday. The Staff were around and being helpful.
