They go out of stock fast in those mugs for good reason. They have seasonal decorations too which are super cute and the look I like for simple but modern and are excellent quality.

I wish they got a bit more decorations for Hanukkah more than a menorah but I have a hard time finding Hanukkah decorations in general. I love this place and will definitely continue to support it.

This gem of a store has been so clutch over the years for picking up gifts. Some of the people in my life are, um, a little hard to shop for, but when I come in here, I always come away with something great. It's all so well-curated; some gifts are classy, some funny, and many are versatile. It beats the socks off of going into a big box store in a million ways. Being in a charming stretch of a walkable area adds to its appeal, and the staff is always friendly. They also have Pickwick candles which are some of the best in town. These soy candles will last multiple seasons and almost all of them smell amazing. Cheers to this shop, they're doing it right and have saved my bacon every December since they've opened.

You can't go wrong! Some of the items are higher price but that's to be expected when supporting local makers.

The smell of a store for some reason has a huge impression on me. Annabelles specializes in French and European bedding. There were beautiful, soft styles in really high thread counts. The lady working was really friendly and helpful. She showed me right to the sheets I was inquiring about. The organic sheets I looked at were really lovely, but I decided to wait --spending $400 is alittle more dough than I could fork out---I need baby steps away from my staple tee-shirt sheets from college. I found some 300 count egyptian cotton sheets on OVerstock for $80. Nonetheless Annabelles is a really pretty, unique store.

I believe the person I met there when I went was the owner, who was extremely friendly! Plus I love that it's a locally owned store. Overall I really loved visiting and browsing.

I love the mix of whimsical, satirical, and locally-themed merchandise. There is always something seasonal whether that is late-year holidays, spring decor, or nifty merch in line with the local sportsball teams. You can easily spend wayyyy too much time in here, maybe leafing through some fun books or admiring the handmades & artisanal jewelry. Their jewelry section, which is mostly earrings and accent rings, is sourced from artisans both locally and regionally. I tend to pick up a stocking stuffer here just about every time I'm in because I know I'm not going to find those exact pieces anywhere else. Detail: the up-cycled clothes, such as Chiefs-themed distressed jeans, are ridiculously cool. The prices may be a touch more here and there, but you aren't likely to find some of those items elsewhere and therein lies the real value. Add in that the staff is always friendly and welcoming and the whole place has a happy feel. Parking is, well, Brookside, so get out and browse. Just know that your browsing may end up being more of an extended visit, just like when we stop in.
