You'll find jewelry, hair accessories, Christmas ornaments, clothing, candles, home decor and more. The more you walk around the more you'll discover of what they have here. They also have a sale section by the front in the corner. The girls who work here, were all involved in private conversations, none of them were helping any customers. If you were to ask them something, you'd have to interrupt their important conversation. There were a few locations of this store, but now there's just this one left. It's easy to spend some time browsing through everything.

It's an adorable New England town that looks like it was plucked straight from a movie. When you go inside, the store is so cozy. It's packed full of books and bookish merch, but so well set, there is plenty of room to explore. There are books in every nook and cranny, sorted by genre, with bookseller recommendations and plenty of signed copies. The booksellers are very knowledgeable and helpful too. If you are looking for a gift for an avid reader, they will definitely be able to help you find the perfect present. This is going to be a permanent stop for me every time I head through Connecticut.

It's set in a charming historic house right in the center of Glastonbury; it doesn't get much nicer than that. The store truly has a little bit of everything: earrings, socks, decorations, candles, mugs--you name it. For my taste, the selection was not really for me, but others might love that classic, cozy style. I have to say, the highlight was an adorable employee--on the shorter side, a bit shy, but absolutely adorable. ( Corgi ) Overall, it's a cute local spot with lots to browse.

She has impeccable taste in what she chooses to offer. I found the perfect gift and card and Emmy beautifully wrapped it for me! Never underestimate the amazing wrapping of a gift and how much more it amplifies it when giving. Why else come here first? Because her gifts and cards are far better priced than those you will find in other stores. I found quality cards and jewelry at reasonable and fair prices! Where would we all be without such a beautiful store!

I'm a big game dude who's been to toy & game conventions and I truly appreciate both the selection of cool things here and also the warm cozy vibes you get as soon as you walk in. The thing I like most about Birdie's is that the toys here are things you're not gonna find at Target, Walmart, or Amazon. You're getting to see really cool gems that have been sourced and curated and hand-chosen from a variety of less-known, special out-of-the-box places. The store is cozy, it's personal, and every corner has something that feels like you're finding a little secret thing you would never have known about otherwise!!

She has a lot of old cool books, jewelry and straight treasures. The owner is awesome, very kind, positive and extremely intuitive. I haven't had an official psychic reading by her yet but she's the real deal. I know because I'm a (non pro) psychic too! I was drawn into the shop for the first time by its strong positive vibrations. I had to backwards walk to the door and see what it was. That strong. So you never know what you'll find in the store or find out about yourself in a reading! Check it out! The indoor mall itself is very cool.

Elevating the sandwich was a baked egg, firm but custardy interior and the side of sriracha syrup. Less than a mile off of 91 on our way to Trillium Canton for our son's 30th birthday celebration!
