Wool blankets, socks, books, vintage glassware and cutlery to name a few. A small section in the back of baby items are a must stop if you need a unique baby gift. A few items I was obsessed with this time were the wooden handle dust brushes and the lucia goatmilk soaps. Stop here your next trip to the old port. One note is that it is not handicap accessible.

I did not know I needed a purple faux jaguar carpet throw until I discovered it one day and now my entryway is complete. This is a charming store full of very interesting and eye-catching items for your home - or a gift for someone who appreciates quality. Excellent service, and while the prices can be high, the quality does in fact make them worthwhile. Viand doesn't carry goods you purchase and toss in a few years, these are new friends that will stay in your life for a long, long time.

Everything is extremely high quality, and I believe local artists are supported by Viand. The workers are professional, sweet, and chic. My one qualm is that it is very pricey and I often don't find anything that fits my taste, despite the store being filled with wonderful finds. Worth a look for sure!

I feel like every time I visit, I find something new. The employees I've encountered seem so calm and welcoming: I haven't felt any pressure to hurry up (and ooooh do I like to linger!), or move on, or even buy anything. I've overheard them being helpful and kind to people with questions. It seems the store is stocked with products from small, local artisans; what's not to love about that?! There are tarot readings available by the 15, 30, and 60 minute slot every Saturday; tarot and palmistry on Fridays and Sundays; and, other events happening each month too (be sure to look at their board by the cash register)!

They had a few little odds and ends, a couple of Richard Simmons tapes and whatnot, but they were more decor than offerings. I did peruse around, though I am not much of a clothes shopper. I will say, they were pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon. Most of the clientele were young people getting into thrifting. Respect. Everything was organized well and it was clean. The racks were all well kept. Being from Texas, I have no need for their coats or any of their warmer clothing, which they had a lot of. I was impressed that they had some vintage designer bags available. I know that is a big business right now. I think what they are doing, they are doing well. I am just not their demographic.
