Home decor, kitchen items, Books, blanket scarves, jewelry and so much more…read more I do like some of the living setups. I like the wall art with the painted plastic army figurines. Think my brother had them as a kid. It's a fun spot to browse around for a bit.

Writing an updated review now that Talulah Belle has switched locations to the other side of Main…read moreStreet in downtown Rochester! The space is noticeably bigger than their previous one, which gives them more staging area and space to offer larger pieces of furniture, artwork, and clothing in addition to all the unique goodies they already carried within the store that are smaller scale. Everything here is extremely pricey, which is unfortunate for me given that there are many things I love from here, but I just simply can't justify spending exorbitant amounts of money on these sorts of homegoods and accessories too often. The products they carry are definitely geared towards the more affluent and those with lofty home design ideas, as they also have fabric samples and the like to help you design and customize your furniture and upholstery upon them in the back of the store too. The price tags make sense in the sense that I have not seen any of the products they offer in any other stores in the metro Detroit area, so there's nothing to compare their goods to. This is a great place to window shop or stop in to get inspiration for your home and to pick up a unique piece or two. I'm still thinking about the tatted up Albert Einstein piece of artwork (included in the photos!), which I love so much, but even just the print of it without it framed was already $70-80 and that's a hard price to justify even for hot Albert Einstein! I like how every time I stop in to Talulah Belle, there's always new discoveries to be had. They clearly refresh their stock frequently and it's always great to stop in here for inspiration and intentionally unique gifts for the loved ones in your life...including yourself!

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.

It's a fun shop. Lots of interesting local artisan items here. Something for everyone…read more It used to be a jewelers for a hundred years. The tin ceiling and upper moulding was left in tact. 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.

What a great experience, speaking with the owner he is very knowledgeable, I could listen to him…read morefor hours. A great variety of native art and mystic stones, minerals. The positve energy is worth the visit.

I was lucky enough to score a parking spot in the back and entered from the back. The shop was relatively larger than what I expected. I saw a few pictures of crystals, but I did not expect him to have so many! There was a lot of beautiful Native American pieces that fascinated me. The gentleman at the counter is Cherokee and informed me that on Sunday he will be closed for two weeks due to practices. I was really surprised to see so many bigger crystal pieces. He even had some that are harder to locate (ex. chromium quartz). Ps. He has the cheapest tumble stones I have seen so far. They were $1.50 a piece or 5 for $6. He did have some others on another shelf that were more expensive due to the rarity, which is normal! The large shelf he had was filled with beautiful crystals. I love the raw form at the base with the polished points. He labeled them at the bottom as well and the prices were fair. I will definitely be back!

Legends of Time - This stone is stunning in person!  Found in the Himalayan mountains in India, aids in meditation, it is also an excellent protection stone.

Ok here are the positives: It's definitely different and innovative. With Painting with a Twist…read more(and the likes) becoming so popular, this concept of making framed signs, pillow cases, clothed signs, etc., is quite new. And with the end product, there's a greater chance of you putting it on display at home than putting up a painting (unless you're really good at it). The problem I have is with the stencils and the quality of them. When you put a stencil onto the piece, you should never have to worry about paint bleeding out. Hence, the purpose of the stencil. Yet, this continued to happen. Even putting the stencil on the piece (which is done by a member of staff) proved to be very trying. All of this led to wasted time. Our class was 4-630 pm and at 715 pm, my piece was still incomplete. I ended up having to leave it there as we had reservations at 715 pm, and will have to pick up the finished product later on. I definitely think they need more staff to help people along and stay within the allotted time. Also, they definitely need better stencil sticking paper, because that whole thing was super annoying. The staff were very helpful and kind-- just not enough of them. This will probably be my last time going.

What a fun and unique place! We came for someone's birthday and we had a private workshop just the…read morethree of us. Two of us made a Lazy Susan's and one made a sign. You get to choose the type of stain you would like, the paint you would like, and so much more! They made the process super easy so anyone and everyone can do it, while still having a good time. I am absolutely in love with my Lazy Susan that I made, I can't wait to use it and show it off to my friends and family! In my opinion this is an amazing place to have a party, birthday celebration, or any type of gathering.
