Dandelions

Cutsy stuff. I think the demographic for the stuff here would most likely be middle aged woman to elderly. Lots of knick knacks. I got this little coin purse which was a little pricey. Probably won’t go back just because of my preferences. However this was a nice shop, just not my taste.

What an adorable store! Came here randomly because house of the dead (the store next door) was closed. So glad we stopped in!
This store has tons of random little unique trinkets and items. Soft and cozy socks from a small business with goofy and inappropriate sayings on them, woodwick candles, tea and adorable Christmas ornaments. This place has a little bit of everything.
Currently all of the Christmas items are 40% off. I purchased two mini Christmas spatulas for $ 1.10 each and an Irish Christmas ornaments for about $ 1.25 after the discount.
They had magnets made by the local company «yay!» And really unique kitchen items– like cleaner for your sink and spatulas with goofy sayings on them.
I love coming to lawrenceville to visit wild card and house of the dead, but now I will definitely come back to lawrenceville for dandelions !

I like this place. It has decorations that remind me of my parents house in the suburbs. I’d been looking for wreaths and swags in the city for years. The other reviews are dead on. There is a nice mix of vintage stuff and kitsch decorations.
The best part of the store is the pricing. It is very fair. I try to shop at Penhollows on Highland in Shadyside, but their pricing is pretty steep. This is much more in my price range.

Claire and her lovely store was a wonderful place to spend some time this afternoon! There was a wonderful section of antique items, funny odds and ends and beautiful jewelry that seemed to be priced too low for their beauty! As my husband and I sit here sipping from our beautiful goblets we just purchased this afternoon, we raise our glass to Claire — Cheers! See you again soon!

Cute seems to be the key word from the other reviews of Dandelions, and I would agree. This little shop on Butler Street has a cute mish-​mosh of antique-​y and kitsch items. The owner was very friendly and generously offered me a freebie of a calligraphy pen I was looking for from her own personal stash.
While I wasn’t sure what to expect from the outside, the inside showed me that Dandelions has a little bit for everyone. From Yay Cats! or Yay Beer! magnets, to fancy schmancy tea and tea sets, to homey spice and dip mixes and Antique finds. This store is like a small Cracker Barrel with a Lawrenceville spin (and without dinner).
A good place to look for unique gifts or just to browse if you’re in the area.

This sweet little shop has more antique-​y inventory than new and that is perfectly fine with me. And the pricing is out of this world reasonable. Now knowing that it has been there for 8 yrs bums me out. How did I miss it?
Little shops like this get me all giddy inside. My candy shop of sorts. Vintage, vintage inspired and new kitschy items like earrings, OOAK necklace/​earring sets for $ 14.99– that is outrageous!, linens, statues, …
I am sorry I forget the owner’s name in-​spite of our lovely chat. I will be in soon and will remember it this time. Well anyway, she is good people.
Definitely on my Lawrenceville radar.

In my recent shopping adventures I’ve realized there’s a lot of hidden vintage stores that aren’t advertised as vintage. They may have some new and they may have some old, but one things for sure, they have a lot of really unique and fun merchandise!
The one thing that really stood out was the fun tea and tea sets. I’m always a sucker for anything tea related, to get in check with me English side of course! One of the really cool things they offer is individual Republic brand tea bags sold in cute packaging. This is ideal if you’re looking to try out a new flavor of tea and aren’t sure if you’ll like it. It’s also a really cute gift to give to someone with, say, a cute tea cup.
They also have a lot of gift offerings such as cards, fun magnets and eccentric purses and key chains. But the really fun part is they also have vintage jewelry mixed in. I’m a sucker for any selection of vintage jewelry, so this a nice treat!
If you’re on the hunt for eclectic gift items or vintage accessories for perhaps… yourself (yep, I said it!) visit this cute little shop!

What a cute store! The store sells everything from jewelry, to vintage china, to the amazing Revolution Tea! The prices are very reasonable and true to the items worth. The sales woman, whom I’m assuming is the owner but not sure, was incredibly helpful. Being new to the area, she told me about other great stores/​local sales to purchase things I need for my new home. I definitely will be back soon!
