You have to search hard for this quaint, artsy store, going into a courtyard off Waltham street, but the search is worth it. If you’re looking to give a gift that is 110% unique, or even looking for one-of-a-kind wall art with«humor», this is the place to find it. Be prepared to spend time browsing, because everything in the store is so very interesting! And be prepared to treat yourself to something, even an art note card, because it’s hard to leave here empty-handed!

This has become my favorite place to shop for gifts. There’s always something unique and beautiful with a constantly rotating inventory. John and Don, the owners, couldn’t be nicer guys either. Check out their beautifully scented candles… especially the whale and the pipe.

The cutest shop in south end.

Thank you Unilocalers for leading me to this adorable atelier of artistic delights! Though the gentleman who helped me surely had his studio time interrupted he was pleasant and helpful. Nor did he rush me as I pored over the eclectic selection of housewares, jewelry, and art. They even have a range of candles and solid perfumes.(I should have picked up a candle in «stag”– which is scented of pine with some warm undernotes.) That noted, I only picked up some tiny items as souvenirs, but left feeling bubbly and inspired. I will surely wander my way back next year. Keep creating!

Go through an alley, pass a fountain, follow the twinkle lights and you find a truly neat store that seems to be just waiting for a magical realist novel to be adapted for the screen inside its window-paned doors. The claw-foot candelabra, the scented balms, the framed woodcuts of animals — I’d like to live in a room decorated and scented in this way. My dog liked it too.

Holy amaze-pants. FINALLY after months and months of wanting to check this place out, I made it. Entering the alley and courtyard, I knew I was going to love the store to pieces. It’s just gorgeous, and I love the vibe of the surrounding area artist spaces. I was drawn to many things, but most notably, some antique bauble pins, the luscious Soap & Paper Factory candles(omg, seriously, the best smelling things on the planet), and the gorgeous artwork hanging on the walls. The piece I wanted was $ 1800, and I don’t have that kind of dough lying around, but I will keep it on my wishlist! Such a gorgeous, fun space to shop. I can’t wait to go back.

I love that you can walk in this store and spend $ 2.00 or buy a beautiful piece of original art — whatever your budget allows. Unique items not found in other stores and the items made by Don and John are amazing. Beautiful jewelry, artwork and they even have their own candles! My eye can never stop wandering around the store, when you think you’ve seen everything you discover something new and just as inspiring — a definite destination spot!

Artful finds from sophisticated and funk-ified tastes make for a very worthy visit. The jewelry is by far the most mesmerizing — they have sculled antique shops all over New England to put together necklaces and bracelets that are full of character. I also love that their owners Don and John produce and create their own original pieces for your to curiously mull over. Their styles are old world New England meets John Wayne saloon meets 1920s speak easy. My favorite piece of their store? «The Patch NYC Inspiration» book — take a look for yourself to try and figure how their mind’s eyes work.

Entering this shop is like opening up a trunk in your grandmother’s attic — it’s full of amazingly clever finds. By far my favorite are the ink drawings set in one-of-a-kind frames done by Don Carney — who happened to be there when I stopped in. I definitely made a fool out of myself upon finding this out., but he still chatted afterwards, so I am not too embarrassed to come back :) Tucked around several corners, the shop layout is unique as the items it’s stocked with. Open mostly during weekends.
