Almost hidden in plain sight, this store holds an eclectic assortment of home and garden décor. Selection is limited bit their inventory is unique.
The owners were personable and accommodating.

Across from the SoDo Shopping center in DowntownSouth. It sits on the corner and is very unassuming unless you catch their fabulous wood furniture outside and then read that they are a store.
I have driven by so many times and had it bookmarked for almost a year and FINALLY made it in last week. There is parking in the back and don’t miss their garden goodies while you are back there. They are setup in the corner of the parking lot.
Inside, there are three small rooms of a variety of items; furniture, pottery, glasses, jewelry, home décor and unique gift items from artist locally and abroad. I read on their website that they focus on products that incorporate an artistic element. Love that.
I was immediately welcomed when I walked in and while I was checking some things out, specifically these crosses that were scattered throughout, I was informed of the story of their maker. They are a variety of small and large wooden crosses from an older woman in Mexico covered in Milagros which are religious folk charms that are traditionally used for healing purposes and as votive offerings. Both people working were very nice and welcoming and not over bearing. They let me look around and check everything out.
Saw many items that would be cool, unique gifts and some items that would look great in my house. I didn’t get anything this time around but will def be back soon.
