Pro-tip for first-timers: if you're confused about how to get in, just press the button next to the door! The friendly staff will buzz you right in. ​Once inside, I was completely blown away by how beautifully the shop is curated. The front features gorgeous color-coded displays in vibrant greens, pinks, and yellows. As you wander deeper into the store, it's like a treasure trove filled with high-quality wines, perfumes, artisanal soaps, gourmet treats, and incredibly tasteful home decor and novelties. ​This is the ultimate spot to pick up a little self-care treat or find a unique, thoughtful gift for someone special. Yes, the prices are a bit on the higher side, but given the exceptional quality and uniqueness of everything they carry, the satisfaction level is 100% there. Such a gem with a wonderful aesthetic!

From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the wonderful staff. The store is a dream, everything is thoughtfully color-coordinated, making it a feast for the eyes. There's truly something for everyone, and it's the perfect one-stop shop for creating a thoughtful gift basket. I could have easily spent hours browsing the unique selection, but my husband was eager to get to our next destination. We were visiting from out of town the first time we stopped in, but now it is a go to spot, even if it's just to check out what they have put out recently! If you're in Seattle, this store is an absolute must-visit!

Not only do they have cute clothes, in a bunch of sizes, (I'm a bit larger so it's super cool to find a shop with options in that area). They have cute little decorations to choose from.

This area does not have a whole lot of parking so if you go here when the island is busy you may need to park your car a bit farther up the road to get out to check out the store. Unique and pleasing to visit... if you are in this area of Vashon Island I recommend checking out this shop.

Instead, you want to look like you gave a darn about the gift or things in your house. You want to impress others with the number of items that are not to be found in other homes, because they are scarce to begin with. So here an excellent shop with lots of locally sourced items from around Washington, Oregon, with a few items from Idaho. Soaps, chocolates, mugs, candles, native art, jewelry, home decor... I mean the list goes on, but you want to impress others with your taste for buying things that show you care about small businesses, and your friends will be... whoa... where did you get this... tell them you shopped locally, just for them. 5 stars and checkmate, you will win the prize giving contest, and you will feel good about supporting local craftspeople.

Note this review is for a Ugly Baby workshop in their studio space in Seattle, not the shop itself…read morewhich is located elsewhere. We attended a punch needle pet portrait class and it was fun. No one finished their work (class was 3 hours, but I think we really only stabbed for 2-2.5 due to yarn selection and general instruction time), but you could bring your project and tools home along with any yarn needed. Rosalie knows her stuff and was helpful on answering any questions folk had. Also, worth every penny! Highly recommend for any crafty folk, though no experience necessary when doing this.

I regret that I'm not a knitter/crocheter. This place was ADORABLE…read more They had skeins of different weights and colors organized throughout the store of what looked to be high quality wools. (I don't think I saw anything made of cotton, bamboo, or polyester fibers, but ask the shop! This isn't my craft.) There was a cute card catalog repurposed to hold variously sized US needles in the back of the store. There was a small column that held other needles and notions, like curved needles, row counters, row enders, etc. (Clearly this is not my craft, but I'm trying to articulate...) As you enter on the right, there's a large banquet table and a selection of pattern books. (On a table near check out there were a small handful of knitting and crochet magazines.) I presume that they either hold classes or invite people to actively knit and crochet over here. For those with accessibility challenges, this had one of the roomiest layouts of any store that I saw in Bainbridge. I believe the entrance had no stairs and there was a small parking lot in front of the store... perhaps at most 100 feet of walking. It was charming. I really wish this were my craft or that I had my sister's project needs so I could have shopped on her behalf.

During my short trip to Bainbridge, I visited 3 times and ended up with some yarn, a lovely book, and some patterns by Knitting for Olive. All the staff I met were so friendly and knowledgeable, and offered a lot of helpful suggestions for me as a beginner. Many project examples are left on display for you to touch and interact with, and they were all labeled with exact details of what is needed -- all very inspiring and aspirational. The yarn and book selection all seemed very high quality and wonderfully curated, very modern and yet timeless and beautiful. They even have regular classes and also craft hours where people can come in and do any sort of crafting. Will definitely stop by again next time I'm on the island!

I even saw jewelry, name brand reusable bag line merch, and stickers here at Butter Home. Of course there was quite a variety of home goods too including candles, books, etc. I saw some great artwork that was Seattle-themed and a lot of cool large paperclips, stamps, and whatnot to bring back to my office mates as small gifts. You will find something for you and then some here. Service was great as I asked the person working for any other nearby shops. They had great suggestions for other spots to eat and hang out in the neighborhood. I was super happy they were friendly enough to make some recommendations.

Look for signs that say "Chophouse Row" and you'll see Butter Home on your right in the alley. They have lots of items that are great for gifts!

If you're looking for any gifts that are cute, unique, and sentimental, this is the spot. Trinkets, homeware, stationery, toys (so many jelly cats!), and more!

Or touch anything in the store. After going to Stuhlbergs for over three years, I was never told that my kids could not touch the books.

I've never felt discriminated against because I have a young 17 month old who left a book there for a minute while I finished tending to my other kid Do not recommend if you have kids. I will take my business for jellycats to paper source or other small businesses in the area that welcome people of all ages.
