I really love this place but I had to dock stars for the customer service. I went into the store…read moretoday to purchase some candles (they have some great ones) and as soon as I walked in the lady present commented that her boss was going to be mad at her because she had sold a table. I laughed and simply acknowledged what she said. She then commented that while I was in the store she would enlist my help to move the table. No asking, just assuming I would help move this table for her. Mind you the table was ON TOP of another table. When I responded that I may not be in there long enough to assist she got very clearly irritated and had some rude remarks about me not wanting to move the table. Ultimately I left with empty hands because I no longer felt comfortable shopping there considering I had no intention of moving the table. I have never been requested, as a paying (or potentially paying) customer, to do "work" for someone employed there. And if I was, I would expect an understanding if I didn't feel comfortable doing it. It may be in the owners interest to speak with this employee about what is and is not good customer service because what I experienced today would NOT fit the bill of it. I now know that if I see a little dog in the door, not to go in because the person working there may not allow me to simply enjoy shopping.

Leon & Lulu are the owners' dog and cat. I discovered that when I told my associate, Susan, that I…read morewas taking photos for Yelp. I was then given an impromptu tour that I truly enjoyed. The store is full of eclectic and vibrant decor that will speak to the hearts of artists everywhere, ranging from clothing, to furniture, to toys and museum quality gifts. It has a variety of quirky finds that I've never seen before. The intention here is almost like a local gallery exalting each stunning piece of art, no matter how small. The pieces ranged from the very tiny porcelain dog, which was about the size of your thumb, to the very large bears, that were furry and taller than me. Colorful, diverse art dotted the walls and were displayed in all different living room themes for all different tastes and styles of home. This was a clever idea. You could picture the decor in your own home. "Buy local" is the intention here and deteriorating properties were bought up by the owner and given a stunning facelift to elevate the community. This was a closed down roller rink. There was also a cinema next door that turned to a gift shop and off beat eatery. The unique history of each is preserved in the original artifacts throughout. Being that this is art focused and unique, don't have the expectation of Walmart prices. Of course you're getting one-of-a-kind quality pieces that will make your heart sing when you see your selected art displayed proudly in your home. Leon & Lulu also will give you a discount for your birthday if you share that information. If you're in Ferndale, Clawson or Detroit, put this store on your must visit list.

I have to give credit to my wife for finding this place. She heard about it from a colleague and it…read moredid not disappoint. If you're looking for something unique, funny, fun, or more of a traditional purchase then this place is for you. We were able to purchase some very cool gifts for friends and family that were tailored to their personality. The shop's staff was very friendly and helpful when we needed them and they were also pretty available when we needed someone even though they were a bit busy. As for the prices I would put them on par for a place that sells the selection that this place has. You can find some items that are cheaper (not cheaply made), and other items that are pretty high (saw a pillow for around $300 ). I will definitely be putting this place on my list of shops to go for the next time I need to shop for friends and family!

I love this place!…read more If you have children or need a gift for a special child in your life, shop here. So many adorable things to choose from. A few weeks ago my mother in law gave me dresses that were once worn by her oldest daughter. "They are from Connie's! They are the best!" They are 40 year old dresses that are still in great shape. Today I purchased a christening gown, headband, tights, white shoes, winter coat, Christmas dress for my daughter and a vest, dress shirt and pants combo for my nephew. Approximately $250. Excellent pricing considering similar items at target would be $200 total. Janie and jack at Somerset offers a comparable cuteness experience. Shop local at Connie's. Ladies who work there are hilarious! They make shopping more fun.

Everything was thoughtfully chosen, beautifully displayed, and the whole store just gives off that "happy place" vibe. I can't wait to come back and see how they decorate for Christmas!

Anyways - I love most of the stuff here, but alas my house will only hold so many items. I bought a cool distressed chest that I'm now using as a end table between 2 chairs, I love it. I just bought a friend a wood cat sculpture and another item that she loved. The store is only open Th-Sun so plan accordingly.
