Found out about the toy store Genuine Toy Co online by searching thru apple map. hesitant to drive…read morefrom west Bloomfield to Plymouth but after knowing they are the authorized dealer of Smiskis", I say the drive was long but worth the trip! Located in downtown Plymouth, the buildings look historical. Public parking is available but limited to 2 hours parking. It gave us enough time to park and walk towards the GTC. I find the window display from the outside to be intimidating and made me think that the prices of the items they sell are expensive. Surprised to find out later that they sell toys at a comparable price. most of the employees we saw were female...I find them friendly and knowledgeable of what's new and trendy when it comes to toys for the kids and young at heart. saw a lot of plush bears/puppies, and age appropriate educational toys. what's great about the store is they have a point system for every dollar spent. they may ask you to join and record your phone number so they can contact you if the items you're looking for is already available. looking forward in opening my first box of museum series Smiski!

It's in an old garage --- make the leap of faith and follow the chalk sign into the post-industrial wasteland of a gravel parking area, then bear left. Presentation is more warehouse than toy store --- utilitarian metal shelves, with cardboard bins of items listing name, price, and part number. Some of the furniture is set up in a small showroom/playroom. I saw lots of "Palumba" (or "Palümba") and "Camden Rose" signage --- from what I can tell, Camden Rose makes & wholesales the wooden toys, and Palumba is their retail branch that will sell you just one, right now. The chalk sign on the sidewalk included both names. The books cover a variety of ages, but maybe a quarter of the selection is Elsa Beskow stuff like _Ollie's Ski Trip_ (Swedish, 1907, featuring King Winter and Mrs Thaw, illustrated in an Art Nouveau style). I picked up a treasure-map-making kit (with instructions to have an adult help age the map), a ready-made treasure map, and a small book. I held off on the wooden sword --- it's pretty, but Nerf swords are still causing the occasional problem. Laura Ingalls Wilder would appreciate most of the toys here. So do I. Don't be afraid of the construction vehicles parked outside.

Love that they have the cutest items that highlight the best community ever. Not from Plymouth, that's okay! I literally come here for most gifts. From Michigan related gear and gifts to the silliest items around, I can literally find something for everyone. It's unique and special, which makes shopping here even better. Is it bad that I want to accidentally keep most of the items I buy here? Beanies, pillows, magnets, candles, cards, geez! You name it! Love that I was able to come here for a bachelorette gift too! I highly recommend following them on IG too. I'm able to preview what's new and snag it before it's sold out. Score! On top of that, the owner puts out the best videos eveeerrrrr!!!

I believe the person who welcomed and interacted with me is the owner. She was friendly and personable. I bought a pair of Altiplano fair trade hoop earrings. I like the store's jewelry selection and will stop by again to see if there is anything new in stock. The style of what is sold here really is bohemian chic. I'm pretty sure this offer will be taken down shortly, but there is a Yelp check-in for a free hanging glass votive holder while supplies last. The owner forgot she had that check-in offer. She was nice to look in the back to find a votive holder for me that I will use for tea light candles. I will stop by again when I'm in Downtown Plymouth.

This is a cute little mom and pop shop that's the only game in town when it comes to stores…read moreexclusively devoted to kites (and windsocks, spinners and possibly a handful of other wind activated amusements I don't know the names for). Some friends of mine started something they dubbed Detroit Kite Club. As you might have guessed this involves people getting together and flying kites. I decided I wanted in and after perusing some kites online I opted to go to a brick and mortar outlet as I was going out to Ann Arbor and saw there was exactly one kite store in metro Detroit. The selection isn't huge. They didn't have the cool skeleton or bat kites I saw online. I did, however, get a fantastic large multicolored owl kite that garners positive comments just about every time I've flown it. (Usually at Metro Beach or Belle Isle.) The lady working there was super nice, too. I lost one of the plastic poles that hold my big technicolor owl together and misplaced my reel of kite string so I had to go back and the same lady cut me a new pole in short time after I showed her the one I needed and she didn't have quite the right length. She even gave me an extra free of charge just in case I lose another. And sold me a better reel than the first one I had - I believe this one is 500 feet. That owl can get way up there on a windy day if I let it all the way out. I haven't flown the owl yet this year. I'm planning on going to the U.P. with two other DKC members next month so maybe I'll bring it. They have a kite that looks like a squid. An owl and a squid hanging out - wacky! The Free Design once sang that Kites are Fun and they are. And this is where you can find fun Kites and fun things.

This is also another good spot to find containers, generally…read more I walked around the entire length of the store and up and down every aisle. Found some glass jar containers with metal lids on them, but the glass is much heavier than I was hoping for. Still on the hunt for a tin container with a see-through lid and secure clasp. Also looking for a container that is big enough to hold about 6 quarts of snacks and items. Found some OXO Pop plastic containers, but once again would prefer a tin container. Keep on looking...

Text convo with a friend this evening:…read more Me: Unrelated to anything I just spent 2 hours at the Container Store and have never been happier. Friend: Wherever we can find peace! Ahh, peace. I don't know the meaning of the word. Though I'm trying! As a maximalist gal with ADHD in a small house I'm forever in search of an organizational and functional storage plan I can stick with. Through much introspection and many self help books I recently realized my issue is "if I can't see it, it doesn't exist." Which means I'm forever buying cans of black beans when what I really need is great northern and constantly getting takeout because "there's nothing in this house to eat." So, with this new clarity in hand, I've taken to overhauling my kitchen in the new year. And the Container Store has been clutch in providing solutions to my storage issues. A pantry that requires a step ladder to reach? How about a pull down spice rack? Deep drawers without dividers? How about stacking bins so I can use the vertical space, too? Expired baking ingredients from the last time I tried to reorganize but didn't realize until it was too late that the jars I put everything in don't stack effectively, leaving a teetering mess I've been afraid to disturb? How about a baking pantry storage set with equal sized widths for easy stacking? (And built in brown sugar softeners and powdered sugar sifters, too! Be still my heart!). Weird corner cabinets that are deep caves of awkward, oft unused space? Why not some pull out shelving storage? And so much more! Jar openers! Lemon keepers! Fancy pens! NOTEBOOKS AND PLANNERS! Omg. I haven't even begun to talk about the craft storage. What's not to love??? Well, ok. I guess the prices. Which can be high. But they carry many solutions I can't find anywhere else so sometimes I have to bite the bullet and pony up. I do my best to try and stick to their in-house products to save a bit of scratch tho. And becoming a rewards member will net you some solid coupons now and again. In fact, today I happened to have a 25% off coupon so I stocked up on those deep drawer organizers. It took me a while to find the right combo/configurations for our unusually sized cabinetry but I think I figured it out thanks to the countertop they have with grids to help you easily measure. Very handy. Staff here is lovely and ever so helpful. It's never a cheap visit here but it's always a beneficial one. And hey, thanks to my new pantry risers and lists of items we have taped to the inside door (another new trick!) I now know we have 7 cans of black beans, 4 of which are low sodium, and the last time I went to the grocery I got the right beans at last.
