Grace & Co

It was really kind of by accident that I stopped into Grace & Co but I was glad I did. After a walk around Lake Harriet I was headed to the Bibelot and pulled what I thought was their door but instead grabbed the door to Grace & Co. So it is literally right above the Bibelot and next door to Sebastian Joe's. Karen Lang, the owner, greeted my girlfriend and I and she was very welcoming. You will find a variety of different gift ideas here by local artisans. I picked up a leather key holder but there are baby clothes, handmade jewelry, Muddy Mouth greeting cards, hand-stitched ties, Love Your Melon Beanies (that raise money for kids with cancer) and much more. There is also a great selection of refurbished and hand painted furniture. My girlfriend was interested in a dresser and mirror that was refurbished. I thought it was moderately priced and in really good condition.This place has some unique gift options. If you are in Linden Hills take a peak! You might find a treasure or two.

I just love Karen and everything at Grace and Co., which is right down the street from my business. Even though I have to walk a smidge further to get to her, I bypass the Bibelot and go to Karen for unique small gifts and fabulous cards that leave my loved ones in stitches. She owns and runs her own business, and she's small and local--and I want to support that as I'm a female biz owner myself. Stop in anytime for something thoughtful to accompany a card that will be on someone's fridge for quite a while after you give it.Warmly, Jen
