AND Don't forget, Santa has paid his early, annual visit downstairs in the Christmas Store. OMG! So fun and wonderful. Giggles and ouuuus and ahwwwws. I have been shopping here for years. There is always something that is so special for self or other! It's delightful! You will never take it all in in one visit. That's OK, Valerie will always have something just right that you missed the first time around. Truly, Miss Valerie the owner, is the kindest, sweetest person to welcome you in her doors and those that that work in the store are also the best. Feeling down?

I walked inside and the lady who greeted me told me she would be just a minute. Nobody else was in the store so I don't know why I had to wait for her to ring me up. I asked for a paper bag with handles. She had given me a plastic bag with handles. Her response was, no your bag has handles. You can't have that one. I was very much taken aback by her rude and abrupt tone and the fact that she would not give me a paper bag. I will never go back to a store that would be so cheap as to not give a customer a paper bag upon request

The space is noticeably bigger than their previous one, which gives them more staging area and space to offer larger pieces of furniture, artwork, and clothing in addition to all the unique goodies they already carried within the store that are smaller scale. Everything here is extremely pricey, which is unfortunate for me given that there are many things I love from here, but I just simply can't justify spending exorbitant amounts of money on these sorts of homegoods and accessories too often. The products they carry are definitely geared towards the more affluent and those with lofty home design ideas, as they also have fabric samples and the like to help you design and customize your furniture and upholstery upon them in the back of the store too. The price tags make sense in the sense that I have not seen any of the products they offer in any other stores in the metro Detroit area, so there's nothing to compare their goods to. This is a great place to window shop or stop in to get inspiration for your home and to pick up a unique piece or two. I'm still thinking about the tatted up Albert Einstein piece of artwork (included in the photos!), which I love so much, but even just the print of it without it framed was already $70-80 and that's a hard price to justify even for hot Albert Einstein! I like how every time I stop in to Talulah Belle, there's always new discoveries to be had. They clearly refresh their stock frequently and it's always great to stop in here for inspiration and intentionally unique gifts for the loved ones in your life...including yourself!

This place is your one stop shop for any & all adorable and cute trinkets & inspirational gift…read moreideas you could have for basically anyone in your life, and now whenever I have a loved one's birthday or the general gifting holidays come up, you can't stop me from going here to search for goodies - big and small - for all the people in my life. There are tons of options for stocking stuffers, but also tons of options for thoughtful, larger scale gifts. And do you know what the best part of Catching Fireflies is? That they have 3 different locations in SE Michigan, and trust that I've been to all 3! They are all similar in the sense that they all offer an overabundance of cute & thoughtful tchotchkes & gift ideas, but also different in the sense that no two are alike. The floor plans and the products offered are different amongst all 3, which makes it all the more fun (or challenging, however you look at it) to hunt for the perfect treasures to gift your loved ones. Do yourself a favor and check out the nearest Catching Fireflies to you - there's one in Ann Arbor, Berkley (check out their sister store Yellow Door Art Market two doors down from this location), and Rochester. It'll make your life more colorful & adorable and your gift hunting much easier & more fun!

She didn't greet us or any of the other customers who walked in. She barely spoke to my friend who actually made a purchase...nor did she thank her for the purchase! They also have a snarky sign posted on the wall about not stealing from a small business so they can stay in business...I have an idea...how about you help the customers who are actually shopping local!!! That would help you stay in business and deter theft! The store used to be great in their old location, it is way too crowded now. They had some cute things but I refuse to purchase anything in a place that doesn't treat me well. I doubt I'll be back, there are so many great boutiques in Rochester to support.

I'm mad at myself for not going here sooner. I stopped in while out with my friend and I've never…read moreseen such a cool selection of stuff in my life. I think I was getting it confused with another shop, but this place literally rocks! They support local artists who sell their products here and it's the coolest stuff around. You can find most anything here from magnets, to T-shirts, candles, anything. They also have artist descriptions over some of the products which I loved reading. Where they're from, how they started, and much more. I like knowing the backgrounds so that helps. They do have some Michigan and Detroit centric items, but there's also some cool other stuff as well. Some artists rotate, so the stores motto is don't wait to purchase to long, because it might not be here tomorrow. They have a drink bar that you pay at the register for, but I couldn't tell what they served. I think it's a Keurig setup with coffee and tea, but don't quote me on that, nor did I check the prices. When I was here shopping, it was super packed, so be ready to move slowly and wait in line. I'm sure they have less busy times then a saturday afternoon. Overall a fantastic place to get one of a kind artistry for a mostly decent price. I love giving unique gifts when possible as it's important to me, so I will be back in the future.

For example, the glitter deer I admired costs $40. Service could be improved. Most of the sales associates were chatting by the register. No one offered assistance or said hello first. Overall, this is a fun shop for browsing when in downtown Rochester and I will stop by again.
