Shop Local: Tootie and Tallulah’s

Tootie and Tallulah's is a unique gift, art, and home consignment boutique located in Berkley, MI. The shop opened in October 2010 under the ownership of Jeri Brand and Sally Crosthwaite. After much thought and inspiration, Jeri and Sally decided that a unique shop, like Tootie and Tallulah's, would be something new and innovative for the area. Their common interest in supporting the local art community, re-purposed items, and Fair Trade goods was a uniting aspect for these two women to open a shop of this caliber. Now, almost three years later Tootie and Tallulah's has become a favorite local shop for many people looking for accessories, home décor and fun gift items.Tootie and Tallulah's is home to many different styles of fashion accessories and home décor; there is certainly something for everyone. Owners Jeri and Sally have a focus that is fresh and lively. Their approach to reusing, renewing, and restyling your environment stretches from Fair Trade knits, purses and artist consigned jewelry to furniture and retail gifts.

In April 2013 they expanded to a second location across the street – Tootie and Tallulah's The Annex is open Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. The Annex is home to larger wall art, consignment furniture and artist consignment. Consignment is a 50/50 split between the store and the consignor. They acquire pieces in various ways: email photos, home visits and in-store appointments. Artist consignment with local artists is also something they do; it gives artists a wider audience than they might get elsewhere. Stop by Tootie and Tallulah's for a fresh taste of local retail.
