Eclectic assortments scatter throughout with shelving situated both high and low. Not a speck of extra space, but enough of it to know that everything has its own place. I was in awe with the store's containment of special little things. From vintage hair picks to a silver engraved cigarillo case. These collections speak stories and it seems impossible not to find something wish-worthy. I instantly became attached to an old style brass candle holder. Tea cups, pocket watches, records, cutlery, furniture, cufflings, toy trucks, literature-- the crop is plentiful and of fantastic quality. The gorgeous Parisian style couch was a show stopper. As was the rustic round wooden table. You get the picture. This would be a fantastic place to visit if you're looking to add a little extra charm to your surroundings. The owner also offers an 'Antique Finder' service in which people looking for a particular item can call in and he will try to find it for you. A special little spot filled with good finds.

Last time I visited, Andrew and I purchases a vintage microphone. We bought it for only about $40, and it was in great condition. We got it home, figured out the proper adapter, and had it working in no time. As well as old electronics, they also have delicate china, records, home furnishings and other odds and ends. This is a delightful little Hydrostone shop worth a visit.

Right down to old wooden stamps each in the multiple hundreds. Ouch! Don't forget these people have to pay astronomical rent and taxes just to open the doors and have these items procured and in stock but there is a limit to paying for their services and being horribly overcharged.

Walk inside to high ceilings and low-set chandeliers garnished with crystals and brass trim. The store is a massive collection of decor for all rooms in the home, and fixtures both big and small. Tables and chairs, place settings, dishes, wine holders, umbrella bins, candelabras, lamps, bath salts, soaps-- the list doesn't end. The store's vast collection of material goods is unified under a gorgeous Baroque inspired esthetic. The store is well laid out; however, it seems impossible to take it all in during one visit. There is an overwhelming abundance of things to look at, but an obvious eye for detail and decadence. Affiliated with Abby's Fabric Shop, the store also contains plentiful fabric spools to allude luxury. Bellissimo is rich and a gorgeous spot to explore. Prices are heavy, so I will continue to daydream for now. But with the fantasy selection of pretty things, I shall encourage my Parisian cliché with visits to Bellissimo Boutique.

The signage for local businesses is poor so expect to get lost. However It is very scenic so it really was'nt an issue for us. The store is in a house located at the bottom of a steep driveway. So wear appropriate footwear. The garage contains items that are 50% off. The items are laid out in a haphazard manner. To me the search is half the fun although I understand some people may not enjoy this as much as I do. Upon entering the actual store you are greeted by a woman in period dress and a man in a top hat offers you delicious shortbread. The store is quite small so if you are claustrophobic I wouldn't recommend it. However I absolutely loved it ! I felt like I was in Alladins Cave. The selection of items is amazingly diverse from ephemera,dolls, jewelry,china,household items,pictures etc. I perused everything in the store and I was in there for at least an hour or more. The prices range from around $5.00 to a couple hundred. I plan on returning in the future and I would recommend taking the drive and visiting this gem of a place.
