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? Plain and Fancy will pick you up with the fun of the unique! Enjoy Neighbors....I sure do....

I rarely write reviews but had such a bad experience I feel compelled to make a statement. I…read morevisited on Saturday July 20th at about 11:00 in the morning. 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

Whimsy meets old train depot! Catching Fireflies is the perfect place to find a special gift…read more I find myself walking around for at least 30+ minutes when I visit because there is so much to look at and this place is not very big! The place is just off main street and you cannot miss the colorful building. There is also history attached to this location, so be sure to check out the historical marker next to the building. Parking is just behind the place and is free. Or you can find meter parking or park at the library (free) and walk over. The staff are always friendly and offer to gift wrap your purchase. Or they will include gift wrapping materials and you can wrap at home. Such a nice added touch. But I will say this can make the line pretty slow. COVID-19 wise - staff wear masks and guests are expected to wear masks as well. There is a gift for anyone here, even a hard-to-buy dad or brother. The store is sectioned off into type of gifts. Some sections include: Wedding, pets, golf, Michigan, baby, cooking, homemade products like soaps/candles, children toys, and gag gifts to name a few. The holidays also bring gifts such as ornaments, etc. for the holidays. They do occasionally do coupons in the local Rochester Area mailer - so be sure to clip those!

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.

The safe in the back is here to stay for eternity. Josh waited on us today, he warmed up to us and was friendly once we asked to buy some items. Andreas Art and Soul. The black and white birch acrylic 3 piece of Andrea's really caught my eye. Josh told me she's a Vet. The 3 piece will go perfectly in one of our bedrooms, which already has black and white artwork theme everywhere. I also bought an iron spike art man on his multiple computer and laptop at his desk, since that's how I have felt for over a year and 3 months now during this seemingly never ending pandemic.

It's one of my first stops at the holidays and for anniversary/birthday gifts because they always have new stuff, and it's pretty affordable. It's like a mix between the DIA's gift shop and other art stores like Art is in Market and Urban Merchant. They close early on Saturdays and aren't open on Sundays though, which is kind of inconvenient. But they are open until late during the week which is cool because you can see the classes going on.

I would make this a regular stop if I lived close by to see what new items they have on their shelves. They also had a large sale section that I did not even go through because as mentioned above I'm pregnant but when this little man comes out I would love to see what they have in store.
