I found all kinds of items from local vendors like tea, jewelry, dog treats, some really cool mystery book dates, pottery, the list goes on. You would think that because everything there is from vendors it would be a little expensive but it's not there's a lot of craftsmanship put into the products making everything worth the price! Every time I go into the store, there are either new items to look at or old items that I overlooked. If you go, make sure you give yourself plenty of time to look around because it's very easy to lose time once you get in there!

I hadn't been there before so it was really was like uncovering some beautiful treasures I hadn't been expecting to find. Oh! And the space has the most gorgeous flower mural on the wall! Sets the tone for the shop perfectly. For the holidays they had some really love displays featuring bottle brush trees, locally made ornaments (which looked like they were perhaps from Pewabic and Motawi Tile, though I may be wrong), other bits of Christmas decor as well as unique gifts like craft sets, textiles, some stationary/cards, etc. They also carry some really lovely baby gifts, some kitchen-y things, candles, glassware, home decor, bath and body care, seasonal goodies, houseplants and planters, and more. I loved browsing everything they carried and in the end I walked out with a few purchases, including one of the beautiful Christmas trees and a beautiful embroidery kit of peonies and other flowers as a gift for my aunt. My only wish is that I lived closer so I could come by more often. I highly recommend popping in whether your in town or you make a dedicated trip to purchase a gift for someone. You'll easily find something for anyone.

Between all the soothing scents, beautiful items to look at, and all the wood and exposed brick. It's hits all of my favorite things. When you're into shops like this like I am you'll sometimes see some of the stock repeated from store to store. But at Stone and Spoon I rarely see things I've seen anywhere else. They have really great eye and amazing suppliers that keep things fresh. I appreciate that. Last time I was here I got a few houseplants, a wax sealer for mail, a few cookbooks, and some Gus & Grey passion fruit cocktail syrup. I can't wait to pop in and see what they have up their sleeves for the holidays!

Now they've expanded in there and they've filled the space with even more beautifully curated goodies, new and "found." There's a bit of everything in here, perfect for finding a gift for a friend, family, or a partner, or a little goodie for yourself. They've got beautiful art prints from independent artists, handmade ceramics, plus stationery, a bangin' candle section, lovely housewares and textiles like throws, pillows, and tea towels, plus jewelry, the list goes on and on. Plus when you shop here you're really shopping small, because most of what they carry falls into that category. If you go to their website you can take a look at a list of the artists they carry in store, and I love recognizing names of friends and people I admire in their respective fields. It's a delight digging through all their offerings and I highly recommend you get there soon to do it yourself!

They also had a lot of local art, jewelry, cards, candles, and more. It's a great spot for finding a gift for yourself or your favorite gal pals! Unfortunately I was not greeted when I came in nor when I was browsing, which I feel is such a small thing that can really make a difference when shopping. The person at the counter was with another customer, but even just a quick, "hi, welcome in!" can be so nice. That said, I would come back in the future just to check out what they have in stock.

They always have gorgeous window displays, the employees are always so happy to see you and the service is wonderful, and this shop is just so dreamy! Things are definitely on the pricey side here, but everything is really high quality and they feature a ton of local artisans in the area as well. There's nothing I love more than an intentional shop and you can truly feel how intentional Thistle & Bess is in every detail their store contains. Absolutely lovely and always worth a peruse whenever you find yourself in the Ann Arbor area!
