I also got a few ideas for possible crafts that I could make someday, like the gorgeous yet simple acorn twig wreath. I was very tempted to buy the silver and gold resin deer and am now thinking of ways to make it myself as a quarantine arts and crafts project. The prices are reasonable bordering on high end. For example, the glitter deer I admired costs $40. Service could be improved. Most of the sales associates were chatting by the register. No one offered assistance or said hello first. Overall, this is a fun shop for browsing when in downtown Rochester and I will stop by again.

We love coming in here and checking out the fun items during the holidays. They have such unique finds that fit your holiday mood. From decorations to kitchen wear, their decorating game is fire. They have so many gems to purchase for gifts or for yourself. I am not sure if they also offer personal designing services, but they would be amazing at that too. They even have small toys and gifts for kids. We found some indoor snow this time that the kids loved. They have the perfect holiday mugs, can't get enough mugs, but this is the perfect spot to get those unique decorations for your house that you won't see at the big box stores.

The space is noticeably bigger than their previous one, which gives them more staging area and space to offer larger pieces of furniture, artwork, and clothing in addition to all the unique goodies they already carried within the store that are smaller scale. Everything here is extremely pricey, which is unfortunate for me given that there are many things I love from here, but I just simply can't justify spending exorbitant amounts of money on these sorts of homegoods and accessories too often. The products they carry are definitely geared towards the more affluent and those with lofty home design ideas, as they also have fabric samples and the like to help you design and customize your furniture and upholstery upon them in the back of the store too. The price tags make sense in the sense that I have not seen any of the products they offer in any other stores in the metro Detroit area, so there's nothing to compare their goods to. This is a great place to window shop or stop in to get inspiration for your home and to pick up a unique piece or two. I'm still thinking about the tatted up Albert Einstein piece of artwork (included in the photos!), which I love so much, but even just the print of it without it framed was already $70-80 and that's a hard price to justify even for hot Albert Einstein! I like how every time I stop in to Talulah Belle, there's always new discoveries to be had. They clearly refresh their stock frequently and it's always great to stop in here for inspiration and intentionally unique gifts for the loved ones in your life...including yourself!

I saw a Yves Saint Laurent woman's outfit for sale, beautiful dress shoes, mens dress coats and so much more. I stopped in today with a friend because he enjoys thrift shopping as well. Prices here are a bit high but the product is selective thus the cost. The store also is a non profit and does donations to the community, which I love. I didn't buy anything here today, but have been here before in the past and bought a thing or two. If I find a treasure that suits me, and it's in my budget I'm game. I think they do have occasional sales depending on what's happening, so shop here often and frequently.

It was obvious it was a return by all of the tape and the open end of the package. The hardware was also missing to put the table together. Since I had dealt with a nightmare with UPS to even get it delivered, I had no interest in attempting to return it. Instead, I reached out to the company requesting a set of the hardware so that I could put the table together. It has been over a week now, and my hardware has not been shipped although I was told it would be shipped the next day. Very unprofessional customer service in my opinion. I paid full price for damaged goods with missing hardware, and the company can't even have the courtesy to send me the hardware I need to put the table together. I definitely will NOT be shopping with them again!! Buyer beware!!!

In reference to the person who wanted the DVD's and Hawaiian shirt…read more We have been donating and purchasing from the Clothes Closet in Rochester for as long as it has been open. The managers and the volunteers have always been helpful and we have never had a problem! Our Kiwanis donates diapers on a monthly basis and we purchase clothes for a soup kitchen in Deroit, where we volunteer monthly. The managers, including the person referred to as having a "thick" accent, have given us special deals on clothing for the homeless. The same person referred to in this negative comment as being rude and can "barely speak English", is perfectly understandable and continued to work even through her bout with cancer. We will certainly continue to patronize the Clothes Closet and are thankful they are part of the Rochester Area Neighborhood House and a valuable asset to our community!

I'm leaving a 1 star rating which I'll go through fully and explain my reasoning as to such…read more The neighborhood house clothes closet. This is now a former shell of what it use to be. For context I've been going here since I was a baby, now I'm currently a adult as we speak. When I was a child the staff there use to be extremely kind and greeted people, for clients such as what I and my parents fell under we were able to gain stuff to help us immensely due to low wages. Such as every month you can come in get 3 tops, 3 bottoms, a jacket or winter coat, a blanket/sheets every 6 months, socks, underwear, bra, shoes every 3 months. The staff there would even point out stuff to people there whenever they would have good items such as clothing or furniture, Because the clothes closet was intented for people not making enough money to get clothes on their back, and necessities. Not to mention everything they get is **donated** not sold to them it's given. They didn't have it open to the public originally due to it was connected to neighborhood house, however slowly they started to implement cost if clients wanted extra clothing however at highest something would cost was $5 at most and that's if it was furniture, and slowly was open to the public after years. But ever since they got new management they have become a former shell of what the use to be, now they're using their donations given to them to make a quick buck and it disgusts me. Clients now can only go 6 months out of the year when 2 years prior they could go every month because it was intended for families who make less money. You can only get a winter jacket and light jacket once every 2 years (so if you have growing children good luck keeping them warm) and same thing for bedding. Next they now have become full on money goblins, everything they have is given/donated to them and they are taking those donations and selling them for ridiculously high prices raging as high as $100. In fact they are even putting aside items for resellers to buy off them before anyone else can get to them which I overheard the visit I had today. Furthermore they now have implemented tables/racks that clients cannot even get items off them for free like this was intended for selling purses as high as 20-60 dollars. And due to them now trying to make a quick buck their racks are over filled to the brim with clothes to the point you can hardly move the clothing to see what's there in the racks at times, especially the coats it's absolutely ridiculous. And last their staff is extremely disrespectful. Everytime I try to great them I'm always met with a scoff or annoyed sigh, and they nit pick the clothing like it's coming out their own wallet. Overall I'm disgusted at the Neighborhood houseclothes closet it's a former shell of what it use to be and is now a money grab for resellers or outrageous prices. If you want to donate high valuable stuff to reach a family in need, don't do so here I'd suggest Facebook market place and putting it up for free for or gods helping hand if you want your donations to hit a family in need because they'll use your items here for a quick buck, and very limited for families who actually need it.
