Urban Sundry

I've driven by this place many times, but never had a chance to stop when they're open. (Weds-Sun 12-7, I think.) It's a cute little building, and there's all kinds of cool stuff inside. Eclectic, well-organized, and tastefully displayed. Little trinket type gifts, games, candles, clothes, books, and more. Dog stuff. Kitchen supplies. Just all sorts of things. The owner is very friendly. Prices are reasonable. Parking isn't bad, for German Village. Well worth a stop for gifts, for others or yourself.

Popped in today. It's difficult to pick the big winner, the store or the store's owner. What a carefully curated delight. The store is modest in size but perfectly stocked with a sturdy mix of everything. You're sure to find a unique classy gift, ironic yet poignant greeting card and maybe a little treat for yourself. The owner, I believe her name is Barbara, is warm, funny and full of great travel tips (and of upmost importance great food recommends). The quality is high and the prices are fair. From the exterior, you may be intimidated and assume it's snooty, but it ain't! The shopping experience was definitely entertaining and I could have of stayed for a while just to chat. If you're in the neighborhood, it's definitely worth a stop in to support a thoughtful small business. My only regret is the shop dog, Clyde, was asleep and had zero interest in meeting me.
