The space is noticeably bigger than their previous one, which gives them more staging area and space to offer larger pieces of furniture, artwork, and clothing in addition to all the unique goodies they already carried within the store that are smaller scale. Everything here is extremely pricey, which is unfortunate for me given that there are many things I love from here, but I just simply can't justify spending exorbitant amounts of money on these sorts of homegoods and accessories too often. The products they carry are definitely geared towards the more affluent and those with lofty home design ideas, as they also have fabric samples and the like to help you design and customize your furniture and upholstery upon them in the back of the store too. The price tags make sense in the sense that I have not seen any of the products they offer in any other stores in the metro Detroit area, so there's nothing to compare their goods to. This is a great place to window shop or stop in to get inspiration for your home and to pick up a unique piece or two. I'm still thinking about the tatted up Albert Einstein piece of artwork (included in the photos!), which I love so much, but even just the print of it without it framed was already $70-80 and that's a hard price to justify even for hot Albert Einstein! I like how every time I stop in to Talulah Belle, there's always new discoveries to be had. They clearly refresh their stock frequently and it's always great to stop in here for inspiration and intentionally unique gifts for the loved ones in your life...including yourself!

    I love resale shopping, especially here. They carry a nice variety of gently used higher end items…read morealong with home goods, mens and womens clothing, shoes, knick knacks and seasonal decor. I saw a Yves Saint Laurent woman's outfit for sale, beautiful dress shoes, mens dress coats and so much more. I stopped in today with a friend because he enjoys thrift shopping as well. Prices here are a bit high but the product is selective thus the cost. The store also is a non profit and does donations to the community, which I love. I didn't buy anything here today, but have been here before in the past and bought a thing or two. If I find a treasure that suits me, and it's in my budget I'm game. I think they do have occasional sales depending on what's happening, so shop here often and frequently.

    Resale shop right next to Bean & Leaf and directly on Main Street in downtown Rochester! I…read moreabsolutely love this spot as it's all secondhand goodies that you can look through and find some treasures that suit you and your space perfectly and they're always bringing new things in as they go! The shop is narrow, but LONG, with clothing and accessories up front and then different cubbies of home goods as you go in further, ending in the back with miscellaneous more home goods, fine china, bigger furniture items, a kid's section, movies/music/books, and men's ware. There's something for everyone here and a portion of the proceeds are donated to charity as well, so it's for a good cause while you're also giving all these items a second life in your or a loved one's home!

I think I was getting it confused with another shop, but this place literally rocks! They support local artists who sell their products here and it's the coolest stuff around. You can find most anything here from magnets, to T-shirts, candles, anything. They also have artist descriptions over some of the products which I loved reading. Where they're from, how they started, and much more. I like knowing the backgrounds so that helps. They do have some Michigan and Detroit centric items, but there's also some cool other stuff as well. Some artists rotate, so the stores motto is don't wait to purchase to long, because it might not be here tomorrow. They have a drink bar that you pay at the register for, but I couldn't tell what they served. I think it's a Keurig setup with coffee and tea, but don't quote me on that, nor did I check the prices. When I was here shopping, it was super packed, so be ready to move slowly and wait in line. I'm sure they have less busy times then a saturday afternoon. Overall a fantastic place to get one of a kind artistry for a mostly decent price. I love giving unique gifts when possible as it's important to me, so I will be back in the future.

The safe in the back is here to stay for eternity. Josh waited on us today, he warmed up to us and was friendly once we asked to buy some items. Andreas Art and Soul. The black and white birch acrylic 3 piece of Andrea's really caught my eye. Josh told me she's a Vet. The 3 piece will go perfectly in one of our bedrooms, which already has black and white artwork theme everywhere. I also bought an iron spike art man on his multiple computer and laptop at his desk, since that's how I have felt for over a year and 3 months now during this seemingly never ending pandemic.

    Ok here are the positives: It's definitely different and innovative. With Painting with a Twist…read more(and the likes) becoming so popular, this concept of making framed signs, pillow cases, clothed signs, etc., is quite new. And with the end product, there's a greater chance of you putting it on display at home than putting up a painting (unless you're really good at it). The problem I have is with the stencils and the quality of them. When you put a stencil onto the piece, you should never have to worry about paint bleeding out. Hence, the purpose of the stencil. Yet, this continued to happen. Even putting the stencil on the piece (which is done by a member of staff) proved to be very trying. All of this led to wasted time. Our class was 4-630 pm and at 715 pm, my piece was still incomplete. I ended up having to leave it there as we had reservations at 715 pm, and will have to pick up the finished product later on. I definitely think they need more staff to help people along and stay within the allotted time. Also, they definitely need better stencil sticking paper, because that whole thing was super annoying. The staff were very helpful and kind-- just not enough of them. This will probably be my last time going.

You get to choose the type of stain you would like, the paint you would like, and so much more! They made the process super easy so anyone and everyone can do it, while still having a good time. I am absolutely in love with my Lazy Susan that I made, I can't wait to use it and show it off to my friends and family! In my opinion this is an amazing place to have a party, birthday celebration, or any type of gathering.

    I was on the hunt for a piece of jewelry and a vintage/art deco pieces in particular. I was…read morerecommended this place, so I checked them out on Yelp and their website. After checking them out online, I was very excited to see what they had to offer. However, when I got there, I was quickly disappointed. There was only one employee who was busy appraising jewelry for a customer. This would not have been a problem, but it honestly seemed very unwelcoming how completely we were ignored. A simple "Welcome to our store. If you need anything I can help you momentarily" is nice, but I am not the type of person that gets huffy if I don't get greeted, but I was completely invisible for at least 5+ minutes while we waited by the display we were interested in trying to make eye contact from 5 feet away. I guess he realized we weren't going to leave, because he decided to help us. I was finally able to try on some pieces, but the lighting in there was so poor (unlike traditional jewelry stores that are very well lit) that I really had a hard time seeing the pieces I was trying on. I know vintage pieces were designed to be viewed in candlelight, but that's not the case anymore, and it would be nice to clearly see what I am planning on purchasing. Also, everything looked really nice online and had ratings of VS2+, yet in the poor lighting, there appeared to be significant flaws in the diamonds that were visible to the naked eye. To me, a lot of the pieces looked like they had taken a beating. Besides being a cold experience, at one point, while we were looking at one tray of rings, the guy pointed out that one was missing so he would know not to assume we stole something. What?!? Besides the fact that I apparently look like a jewel thief, are you going to seriously say that to a customer?? Maybe Pamela is what makes this store slightly friendly (she was not in this day) but the employee she had working there last Saturday, left me still hunting, thoroughly disappointed, and slightly insulted.

    Nice place. Lots of jewelry, but some other cool stuff too, like a sword, some ceramic figures,…read moreand a lot of classy antiques all behind some glass so you have to ask to see them. Most of the jewelry is past the $200 range (they do sell fine jewelry after all) but they have some under $100 stuff too. There is a mix of old and new jewelry, and they are a full service jewelry shop, so you can go in and get things polished. I got a cute sterling silver green ring from the 30s there for only $30. Pretty good deal.
