I don't find myself on Cherry St that often, but when I do a stop at Gemini is a must! It's such a…read morenatural, earthy vibe. I am always inspired when I shop here and often find myself wishing I earned more money to buy all the treasures made here. Gemini makes their own hand crafted leather belts as well as offering monograms on all sorts of leather curiosities. My favorite was an ingenious cyanotype "tie dyed" leather contraption that transformed a glass jar into a coffee mug. So inventive. I also love that they sell DIY cyanotype kits amongst all their marvelous creations. Long ago, I bought an airplant from this establishment and it's still going strong. I thoroughly enjoy perusing the art, clothes, bags, jewelry and other thoughtfully designed items. It brings me peace walking in and smelling that leather along with their delicious scented candles. I take heart knowing everything is ethically sourced and locally owned. I hope you find as much joy shopping here as I do. Enjoy.

I recently found out about this venue from the Uptown Shop Hop map. I had never noticed it but was…read moreintrigued. I was instantly greeted by the shop dogs who were extremely polite and did give you space. The family was all behind the counter and it was really wholesome to see a family business in action. As I've been trying to shop locally for the holidays, I knew Gemini would be great. They have a great range of products for anyone in your life. They have a section to make your own belt, wallets, bottle holders, coasters, jewelry, and more. The prices are all really fair and it's cool to see parts of the studio where things are made. I'd definitely recommend coming here especially for one of their craft events!

I never noticed it before this trip, strangely enough, but it's very intriguing.

I'm not sure how often the vendors rotate, but it's always fun to stop in and check things out. I especially love the Public Thread bags and accessories, the Polish pottery, and all the interesting art. There are signs everywhere letting you know that if you break something, you buy it, so be careful. I have purchased gifts here for myself and others and hope it sticks around for a long time!
