I am SO excited that I get to be the first person to review this place!!!
Do you remember those tacky little stuffed animals with the suction cups on their hands that stick onto windows and look like they are attempting to meld into the window itself? For the first two months I lived in Stockbridge, it seemed like I only walked past this place after they were closed, and I did a pretty fantastic reenactment of "Garfield on a window" every darn time.
Why? Because they are the kind of place that would never sell tacky suction cup stuffed animals. In fact, they are basically my interior design DREAM house shoved into one very small but impeccably put together shop.
The first time I actually got to go in... well... do you remember the first time Dorothy saw The Emerald City? It was a little like that. I think I stood in the doorway for about three minutes just hearing gospel choir swells in my head.
I'm sure someone helped me out that day. I can't remember, because I was too occupied thinking "I want that. I want that. Ooo! I want THAT!" but every time i've been in thereafter, the folks have been helpful.
The best part? The place is INSANELY reasonable for how awesome it is. Not one thing i've seen has looked over priced and they have A FRICKIN VINTAGE VESPA FOR GOSH SAKES. From cool taxidermy to funky chairs, great lampshades, interesting art pieces and awesome things with antlers - I could buy this shop happily and have the coolest damn house in ALL THE LAND.
In fact, the only reason i've never taken something home is because I can never decide on just one piece to start me off. It's a total hidden gem in Stockbridge and well worth exploring if you're looking for something unique.
Love. Absolute love. read more
