Studio Den

Everything in here is beautiful and special! It’s a nice little collection of local gems. This will be my number one xmas shopping place :)!

This studio/​boutique is two years old, but it feels and looks brand spanking new. I visited today, thinking this place was more of a gallery than a shop. It feels like an arts and crafts gallery, with its open interior space and artisan jewelry and house accents placed strategically about, on shelving lining the store’s perimeter walls, or on the large rectangular central display island.
As for the items themselves… what an eclectic mix of contemporary hand-​made artisan jewelry pieces, modern clean-​lined pottery pieces, glassware, gorgeous stationery and unique cards, aromatic candles in pretty jars, hand-​made «manly» aprons (perhaps for the guys who cook or barbeque!), wood block placecard holders, amazing decorative throw pillows, and more, so much more.
Prices of items may be high compared to mass-​produced items sold, say, at Target. But these are not machine-​made items. They are all hand-​made by artists, all made here in the USA,
The lady working here is lovely and easy to talk to. She knows about all the store’s merchandise well, so if you have any questions about anything (as I did), feel free to ask her.
I find that Gilman Village has come a long way since the last time I’ve been here (about 10 years ago), with the introduction of new, boutique-​y shops. This is one of them.

This is one of my favorite stores! The owner and other co worker/​jewelry designer Cat are so cool and sweet to talk to when we come in. No snotty vibes and they are always nice to my screeching son in his stroller. They could easily be weary with all the fancy merchandise but they are so so nice! Quality, hand crafted and/​or fun goods that are perfect for gift giving or keeping for yourself. One of my favorite lines here is coral & tusk. The goods are a little pricey but you get what you pay for, and I feel like there is something for every budget here. Wonderful smelling soaps, candles, toiletries for men, jewelry, tea, handbags, home goods etc. Also greeting cards and party supplies. You can tell that the owner really hand picks each item sold here with love. Some of the things you can find also have a sense of humor which I love. I splurged and bought my son a stocking here that I know he will enjoy for many years.

A beautiful space, very cozy and offer some amazing products if your looking for gifts or yourself!
I came to the Gilman Village in hopes of finding some last minute gifts, not having a clue what to get. I spent a solid 20 minutes just taking in all of the neat knick knacks, kid stuff, adult stuff and home décor. I highly recommend the candles and lotions, such unique scents in crafty containers.
The shop also had a beautiful layout, you could tell that the owner and employees took their time to arrange the products to flow with each other.
