I have tried to go twice. Both times it was closed, although the website said it would be open. First time was on a Monday(website says it’s open Monday-Saturday), but sign on door said it’s open Tuesday-Saturday. The hours on the website should be accurate! Next time I tried was a Tuesday; I checked the website before heading there. It was closed again. I can understand being closed for vacation, but why wouldn’t you put that on the website? I give up!

A beautifully-curated selection of tableware, candles, and gifts. I love browsing, and can always find a unique and special gift, or something to spruce up my own home. I loved chatting with Marilyn, an employee who helped me pick out a gift for a friend. Such a lovely addition to the neighborhood!

This is a wonderful store with many gifts and things I really, really, really want to buy for myself. As other reviewers said, items are a little different, just enough to be fresh. I have visited three times and always walked out with something useful, cool or lovely.

What a find! Great store for unique gifts if you can keep from buying for yourself. I have already accomplished much of my holiday shopping thanks to Linda’s blend of food items, linens, ceramics, and funky recipe booklets with CDs. I look forward to taking some of the classes that are offered.

This is a store that would not be out of place in Brooklyn, Portland or any other chic shopping mecca you would care to name. Beautiful ceramics, glasses and linens, plus fun extras like party favors, cookbooks and small food items. Everything is artfully arranged in a bright and cheerful space. Sophisticated but friendly vibe. I plan to do a lot of holiday shopping here! A wonderful addition to the neighborhood!

This place has some awesome stuff and everyone is very pleasant. I didn’t really look hard at the prices but they didn’t seem bad. Everything was a little unique and I found it hard to leave without buying something or calling friends and family to see if they had any small gifts that they needed for friends. They had some unique stuff and everything was colorful and fun. It made me want to have a party just so I had something to buy entertaining stuff for. The brands were varied and the store has a fun vibe. I think it will be a place where everything changes in and out quickly and the spot is tucked into the old Italian neighborhood of Nonantum so it doesn’t stick out… I hope they market a bit more or get a bigger, flashier sign, otherwise I fear people will miss out on going here, but i recommend you go! I hope it makes it in our neighborhood… i want more places like this to come in! :)
