A very odd little shop. There's some steampunk, skulls, locally made candles, framed art, and…read morejewelry. The woman working (possible owner) has signs all over saying no photos. I didn't see it, took a photo, and she called me out about it. Recommendation: ma'am, this does not appear to be your own local art so I don't understand why you wouldn't want photos. Not quite yelling but not being friendly about telling me to not take photos is NOT the way to inspire folks to stick around. We are in the social media and yelp age - photos are good.

I agree with the other reviewer: This place has so many neat items that I would love to share on…read moremy review (a picture is worth a thousand words!) But it is CLEARLY marked that no photos are allowed. Seems like a foolishly lost opportunity to draw in customers. Other successful businesses have these things called catalogs that help buyers make purchases because there are photos! Oh well, not my problem. Let me say that if you like steam punk, this is the spot in Nashville to check out. There are lots of other items too, but those weren't as unique as the cool hats and wall hangings this place had. Note that at the end of Oct'19, the building is going up for auction, so who knows how the sale will affect this and many other businesses in Nashville. I hope the new owners treat the businesses fairly. Review #3244

The prices are reasonable for the quality of work. This store is run by a non-profit artist organization, The Pillar Group. There's another similar shop at College Mall in Bloomington, where Victoria's Secret once stood past Target. The art is diverse and has a local and Indiana theme to it. While most jewelry is focused towards women, there are a few pieces of men's gear. It has the feel of a gift shop, and indeed there are greeting cards, and wrapping available for purchases. It's a very wide variety of handmade art, and it's all well-presented. I'm embarrassed how much I've purchased here; the values are pretty good for what I look for. Parking is downtown-crappy, but the store is bright and easy to shop.

Another benefit of getting out to explore your community is finding a business you didn't know was there and you are pleasantly surprised by what you find. Kind of like finding a hidden treasure! My wife was shopping next door inside Tivoli Fashions in the Fountain Square Mall just south of the county courthouse in Bloomington. Since the shopping she was doing had nothing to do with me, I wandered out into the mall and found By Hand Gallery just across the hallway. If you enjoy looking at hand crafted items like wall hangings, ceramics, and small items that can be gifts for either your friends or for yourself. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted and asked if I needed any assistance. Even when I explained that I only stopped in to pass time while my wife shopped next door, he said he understood and to feel free to browse and ask questions. I was feeling welcomed, not watched or like I was wasting his time. That's good business. I really enjoyed looking over the items. I don't do a lot of decorating in our home, but I did see things here that I thought would look nice. I didn't make any purchases at this time, but the items I looked at seemed of good quality and worth considering coming back for. Review #3911

We decided to make candles; they thrift the containers so you are able to get a fun and unique candle. There are a variety of scents to choose from.

We will definitely be coning back to make another candle, paint pottery, or create our own little succulent planter. Would definitely recommend!

This was my first time in Vintage Rose. I climbed the decorated staircase to the entrance which…read morewas also decorated with seasonal items. Inside there are two aisles the go toward the back where the employee was sitting at a desk. I then noticed another small staircase on the left that led to another room full of antiques, home items, and vintage hats. It seems like a nice shop, but didn't have anything that caught my eye. Not much new here, but they do carry a line of candles. Note 1: This is yet another Nashville shop that doesn't like visitors taking photos for some reason. I didn't know that at first until I found a small sign in the upstairs room. I did notice a sign at the front door on my way out but it was mostly hidden by the outdoor decorations. Seems like a loss of free advertising to not allow photos. Note 2: Although this address is not listed on the upcoming mass property auction (end of Oct '19), I heard on two occasions that the property was for sale and that the businesses were being forced to vacate soon. If true, I hope the business is treated fairly by the owners. Review #3238

Fur coats and porkpie hats from a time when fur coats and porkpie hats were worn in earnest and not ironically. I visited Cherry Canary around Halloween season, and there were a lot of people stopping by to look for pieces for their costumes. I can see why -- much of their clothing would make excellent costumes. But I don't see why you couldn't wear a wool sailor suit any other time of the year. You just need some chutzpah. Like a good vintage store, the clothing racks are jam-packed with clothes, so it's a little overwhelming to go through everything. But that's a good thing -- it just means they have a lot of stuff and a big selection. Everything is displayed tastefully, and they have a section for men's clothes and one for women's. They have little dressing rooms for you to try on the clothes, too, but be aware that the lighting in the dressing rooms is very dim. They also have a little corner for knickknacks and accoutrements, such as vintage luggage, glassware and planters.

First off, the shop owner here is SO nice and helpful. I mentioned the decade I was shopping for and she pulled quite a few lovely pieces down for me. The merchandise here is in great shape and I feel like I bought so many treasures while I was there. I feel like this shop has something for everyone here. I scored some 1950s dresses, and 1940s dress, and even a 1930s peignoir. The prices vary, with older items usually being priced higher. However, I think the items are worth the price because they are basically one-of-a-kind at this point and are in solid shape.
