“The weather was perfect for Fall, bright and sunny but also, brisk, and cool. Families seemed to agree as they gathered in downtown Northville; children ran pell-mell along the sidewalks. I was enjoying a cold beverage while ducking into the shops that lined the streets. Gardenviews, a white building with bright blue accents, stands out among the colorful buildings here. Inside, couples and friends browsed for the knick-knacks that personalize a home. I was struck by the beautiful displays: antique shelves, desks, and console tables upon which were dishes, candles, and home goods. I saw many things that I liked, toys for kids, hand towels with cute sayings, and garden accents, but I was here for a gift. My friend loves lavender and since I could not find a lavender tea that I thought she would like from a nearby spice store, I was determined to get a lavender room spray, candle, or soap as a thank-you for all her kindness. I don't deserve her as a friend. I found some beautifully wrapped, wonderfully-scented soaps, imported from Italy that I thought she would love. The store also gift wraps items, if requested.”

“It is it's own niche. Not antiques of high value. Not a Salvation Army style or thrift store type of place (prices here too high for that). But....mostly old stuff of the kind you'd find on the street or a garage sale of a really old person or a junk yard back yard up north someplace or the garage collection of stuff from a person who would spend years collecting knowing it would be useful to 'someone someday'. Like the car door. That's the niche. Someone someday is going to grab that and be so thrilled and say "I remember when....." Then maybe they'll make a cool sign at The Barn to go with it with all the stencils they have for saying what's in your heart and mind. I liked the vibe of the place but didn't buy anything. They had lots of ceramic plant holders...which I often cruise for.... but $35 or so is not my personal niche price. But I did love the funky car door and thought it would make a cool piece of yard art with plants hanging all over it (in the Detroit Heidelberg style of decorating) and the entrance is extremely picturesque and a good hint to what's inside. You just might find it here.”
