Shopping local help

Can anyone think of a store in GR or close surrounding area that sells homemade type stuff (much like what you would find on Etsy).  I have a tradition of getting my grandmother something with an angel on it.  This year I was hoping to find a pillow for her couch or a nightlight and I am at a loss as to where else to look.  With it being Dec. 14 I am worried I would not get something from Etsy in time and would also like to shop local.  Any ideas?

  • Global Infusion in East Hills has hand-made goods by people from other countries, if that sounds like something up your alley. I'm not sure if they have pillows or not, though. Also, it's not exactly close to where you live.

  • ... but the Bridge in Holland is close, and has the same idea.

  • Thanks Chymes.  I may have to check that out.  GRSP, I checked at The Bridge already.:)  I am remembering that there is Global Gifts on 28th st. as well.  It is hard since I am being so picky! Stick out tongue

  • I was just at Global Infusion a few days ago in search of something with bears.  I do not recall seeing any angels.  What kind of style are you looking for?

    This was going to be my suggestion! I am actually headed there later this week for some gift inspiration.

    I am getting to the point where any style will work as long as it has an angel on it. I have been doing this tradition for so long, that I don't want to stop now. It is fun when I can find something! [:)[

  • Maybe give Minty Keen downtown GR a call. She has some new handmade things and vintage holiday stuff. 

    Or places like Flowerland or Ball Park Floral. They have fairly good size home decor selections. 

    Search on etsy for grand rapids shops. Maybe you could pick something up rather than having them ship?

    I was just coming here to suggest this.
