The staff were friendly and welcoming, and asked about what bookstores I've traveled to so far. The store is very close the Bde Maka Ska lake, and would make a great stop if on a bike ride around the Minneapolis lakes. Today, I drove and didn't have a problem finding parking on the street. The bookstore specializes in Native American voices and handmade arts. The interior of the store is really interesting to look at; there's a handmade canoe hanging from the ceiling and lots of handmade crafts throughout the store. I think Louise Erdrich, who is an author I enjoy, owns the store.

This spot is a nice fix closer to home with super cute home decor made out of found objects and antiques. I found most of their prices spendy, but I am more of a do-it-yourselfer/ crafty type. I still found lots of great ideas! I even bought an old pill bottle and have a list of a few other items I will go back to get, budget willing. My Mom got a peony type flower made out of old sewing patterns! Super cute! Our other fave ideas were old coffee carafes as planters and Ball jars painted metallic! They also have the old-fashioned milk paints for sale or for classes which antique wood nicely. Definitely check this store out!

They have geodes that you can buy and cut open in the back yourself! The staff is all so sweet and kind! Expect to spend at least 1hr looking at everything. I feel the prices are good. I bought a nice piece of green tourmaline that was $10 with the stand, some fun crackle quartz (dyed material), and a fun rainbow/iridescent piece (I forgot the name). They have Libyan desert glass ($10/g) and moldavite ($30/g) if you're looking for that.

The space is beautiful and you don't know where to look, there is so much to delight. I was particularly impressed by the owner, who didn't flinch when I asked him for a moderately priced dinosaur something for a young friend. He immediately knew what to show me...dinosaur poop, all shined up. Now, the young friend was delighted, of course, with the copralite, but even funnier was my accompanying story of the quest. Untold treasures, beautiful calm space, extremely knowledgeable owner = superb, one of a kind shop. Go!

I am excited with my new purchases, and can't wait to come back down again! I want to encourage all of you to visit this local, woman-owned establishment. You won't be disappointed.

Personally I dislike shopping, but Belleweather Boutique has a fun funky friendly vibe with great music playing, a dressing room with velvet curtains, a bench, and cute inspirational sayings like "Don't Look back, you aren't going that way!" and Janis Joplin posters. It makes you feel like you could do or wear anything. And their clothing selection matches that feeling with lots of colors and patterns and styles of clothing you won't find anywhere else. Staff are friendly and funny but don't talk too much so you feel free to look and linger as much as desired. Prices vary but many great deals, and you can find designer jeans for $20. Highly recommend Belleweather Boutique for your next shopping adventure.

When you walk in, you'll be assaulted with floor to ceiling displays of toys in the best way possible. I could see how it could be overwhelming for some, but I loved it. Felt so magical. I stopped in while in the area to get some ideas for holiday gifts and ended up getting my auntie gift duties done here. It's a very large space spanning three different areas, with the areas categorized by theme/age. You'll find everything from plushies to puzzles and everything in between here. Truly so many options for all ages (even those harder to shop for tween/early teen ages). I found some adorable play kitchen items for my 1yo niece, and some sweet dinosaur and car toys for my 3yo nephew here. I also love that I could browse, try things out, test quality, etc here unlike shopping online. I even found something for myself here! I was introduced to the magic of NeeDoh and had to get one. Now I already want to go back and test out some others to get. Service was very friendly - I asked for some recommendations for my niece's age, and one team member walked me through options. During checkout, another was very kind. Prices were reasonable, and I'd much rather spend my money locally than on Amazon this holiday season. Highly recommend swinging in to check this place out for holiday shopping season - shop local!

It's refreshing to see toys- like actual TOYS- available for kids to play with, rather than screens. This place was utterly packed to the gills with stuff, from floor to ceiling. Plush snakes and hoola-hoops hung from the ceiling like streamers and decor. I spent a long time wandering slowly looking at it all, but I truly doubt I saw everything in there; it'd be almost impossible to. Lots of plushies, educational toys, craft sets, slime kits, knick-knacks, stickers, candy, construction toys, trains and planes and emergency vehicles, coloring materials, puzzles, books, etc. I can't possibly name it all. You're just going to have to go see for yourself. Some of the staff were busy unpacking more boxes of stuff and finding places to put it all. Two different team members went out of their way to ask if we needed any assistance and were friendly. The bathroom was clean and has a diaper changing station if you should need. We were fortunate to be there in the middle of a Tuesday, so it was fairly quiet. I can only imagine at other times of day, kids would be tearing around in here loudly and excitedly (I daresay understandably so).

It was my first time going and didn't really know what to expect but I'll for sure be back to grab some things for my scrapbooks & other art projects. I will say it's a bit crowded & very warm, they did have fans in the basement which was nice.
