Michelle Willey

Everything is displayed so lovely that it makes you want to buy it all. I just want to sit in the couches and chairs for sale and fall asleep. Peace out. Meow!

I love this place.
It doesn’t really have a single item that the owner (s) focus the store on; it’s a little bit home décor, some clothing thrown in, a whole lotta gifts, and a whole lot of just really neat stuff. I like checking-​in here often because the stock of gift items tends to turn over quickly, and the owner (s) like to bring in trunk shows fairly regularly.
If you want to find a really unique gift, check this place out.

Lovely home accessories. Prices were reasonable. Got a beautiful Italian throw for $ 90.

This place has so many small, wonderful touches to enhance the coziness of your home, it’s hard to leave the store without taking something with you each time you visit. My personal favorites are the cotton Bath and Hand Towels from Portugal, so soft to the touch I melt into them every time I use them. The owner Michelle explained that the towels are made with a special technique that creates more soft surface area than other towels, producing a texture so soft that lambswool comes to mind.
Many other great eclectic items in the store, from stunning throw pillows to cool floor mats. But I’m telling you, if you want to give yourself one great gift this year, get yourself a set of towels! Also, they’re nice enough to give as a wedding gift!

Not my cup of tea. But you can find some good gems here. Pretty interesting items.
Kinda like DesignTorget but not that crazy, more on the crafts side.

Paris reimagined for the South End, Michelle Willey gathers all that is fabulous in an understated way and arranges it in an accessibly neat and attractive fashion. From boudiour classics and higher end bathroom accessories, to chic cotton clothing and leather bound desk ornaments, this boutique enables even the least traveled of us to infuse our homes with a European sense of design and style. The recent expansion has given way to a greater breadth of editing in the store collection, allowing loyalists and first time shoppers alike the opportunity to discover something new here.

Great gifts (and lots of affordable options) in this store. Michelle is very friendly!

This place is a hidden gem! After getting my chocolate from Choco Choco House (review written as well) I decided to walk around this neighborhood since I’d never been here. South End is a beautiful town with some unique boutiques and shops! This gallery, in particular, caught my attention because it’s not located on main street (Tremont) and it’s tastefull decorated. Michelle, the owner, showed me quite a few art pieces made by a Chinese artist (YaFang Qi) living in Germany. She even chatted with me about Chicago and told me where else to go in South End. As usual, I bought six Schott-​Zwiesel red wine glasses for just $ 34 since they were the last six and she gave me a 50% discount. I also got some vintage French butter knife and spoons. You’ll be impressed by the elegant dish collection she carries as well as some bedding linens that are extremely soft and expensive.
