What a whimsical find!…read more I was kind of disappointed to see French Flamingo had closed its doors, but was pleasantly surprised to find such a cute little boutique had taken up residence in its former location. I was browsing downtown when I came upon this new shop, which apparently launched this past spring. When I walked in, I was impressed by the super cute and eclectic selection of jewelry, clothing, accessories, tabletop items, and giftware. The shop, though located in a small space, was incredibly well-organized and attractively laid out. The giftware and tabletop items had a slightly unique flavor to them, not like stuff you see everyday in Target (not that there's anything wrong with Target, lol). Most of the merchandise was in the mid-price range or a bit higher, which is not unusual for the Holly market at all. Most of the niche shops in that area tend to trend a bit higher in price than other larger stores, anyway. I noticed right away a lot of super adorable tabletop items in pineapple, owl, sea or tropic motifs, all of which I like, especially the pineapple designs (after all, pineapples are the international symbol of welcome). I picked up a silver pineapple wine bottle stopper (quite heavy, I might add) for $20. It was too cute to pass up. Most of the shop seemed devoted to tabletop items and home decor, including cutting boards, glassware, dishes, serving platters, candles, and art, much of it on the "one of a kind" spectrum. Aside from the tabletop accessories and home decor, I spied some clothing, handbags, jewelry, and sunglasses. I liked that a good percentage of the merchandise seemed to come from Michigan artisans and Detroit area companies, including designs by Detroit Surf Co. and Made in Detroit. Like I said, the prices weren't the cheapest, but I wasn't hunting for a bargain, either. In my opinion, they had high quality items, pieces with a unique flair at prices that seemed pretty on par for the area. I'm no cheapskate, so I didn't even think about the price point for even a second. I appreciate fun, unique design choices, so this shop definitely had my attention. I'd rather purchase items that aren't super mass marketed any day of the week, especially when it comes to home decor. In the backroom and by appointment only, they're also offering spray tanning services. I'm not interested in that at all- I like being naturally pale- but it's nice if that is something that you're into. I have no clue about the prices for such services, but they did have a brochure detailing it at the cash register. The girl that waited on me was rather pleasant and friendly, too. She didn't get in the way, but she seemed quite knowledgeable and was well-versed in the type of companies they work with. While she rang up my purchase, she mentioned that they try to maintain a more eclectic style of merchandise and that new shipments come in at least once a week, so there's always something new in store. Apparently, they have some kind of rewards program for returning customers. All I know is that I signed up it at the time I made my purchase and it was simple, probably only took a couple of seconds to sign up, so maybe I'll get a discount or an update on new products coming in.

Steampunk stylings in the Motor City strike a certain note of affinity. Industrial home goods have…read morebecome a popular choice in the last couple years, especially with the ubiquity of antique and vintage-look materials showing up in stores. No longer are brass rivets, aged leather, and twisted metal bars mounted to wood particularly the province of your artisan-engineer friend in Brooklyn. N Reding and Sons joins the trend with an absolutely glorious showroom in Holly worth the stop if only to goggle these pieces in their proper setting. Raw wood and exposed brick of course set off the taste in this refinished shop. Downstairs has a bare-bulb basement richly accenting the schooner charts, garden ornaments in rubbed metals, and other accents with a definite late 1800s sensibility. What you'll find here ranges in price from $5 to several thousand, depending on the size of the pieces. The light fixtures for desktops, tables, and wall mounts are truly spectacular on a broad scale, though they cost anywhere from $250 - $1,000 depending on just how many bells, whistles, dials, and literal additions you need in your life. Considering each of these pieces is probably one of a kind and constructed of durable, lasting materials, you're getting your money's worth for a signature piece in the living room, dining room or whatever chamber you decide to grace. My beau was nearly drooling over one of those gearbox pieces that turns on by spinning dials and twirling segmented handles, and I don't blame him. For those looking for small gifts, you can pick up pretty household goods for a song. They carry a line of Detroit-based soaps that are mouthwatering, and it was all I could do not to snarf one down to likely bad results. For our hipster friends, a full line of beard-grooming products will not go unappreciated, and for the ladies, they offer jewelry with a distinct if delicate homage to steampunk and industrial stylings that nevertheless offer not a goggle or crystal-cut lens in sight.
