Whimsical is truly a great word to
describe Michigan's Catching Fireflies. So is creative. Unique.
Colorful. Fun. And, in my opinion the most appropriate, cute.
Just driving by the Catching Fireflies
located in downtown Rochester, Michigan tells you something special
is inside. Look at all that bright color!
Catching Fireflies has been 'lighting
up' southeastern Michigan since 2000. Back then it was just one
lonely store in Berkley! Now three locations exist: Berkley,
Rochester, and Ann Arbor. All pictures in this post come from a trip
to the Rochester Catching Fireflies.
You can read the full story of how
Catching Fireflies got started, why they chose their name, and how
they expanded on their official website.
When you walk in the entrance to
Catching Fireflies in Rochester you have the option of going right or
left. Believe me, the choice is harder than it sounds. So many things
to look at! I chose right and immediately caught sight of a wall of artwork, handmade picture frames, purses, and jewelry.
And books! They have books! Journals and creativity inspiration and humor. Everything is positive in Catching Fireflies.
Up a couple steps takes me to my favorite part of this quaint little store: bath products. Bath fizzes and bombs and bathtub tea and bars of rich, milky soap. Close by are candles, if you're one for the aromatic experience when you're soaking.
Though at first glance Catching Fireflies may seem to have product scattered about the store in a randomly whimsical fashion, there's actually quite a sense of order about the merchandise. Jewelry together. Books on shelves placed next to each other. A line of bath products as mentioned above. New parents will delight in the little 'room' created by shelves and walls to showcase art and handmade items for any baby's room. Sports fans will find a little something to enjoy. Toward the back of the shop are handmade cookbooks and cooking supplies. Cats and dogs get special attention too with a pet section of the store. Finally, in a small spot that overlooks the rest of the store are little toys and bags and books for children.
Looping back around takes me past handmade scarves and hats. Funny magnets. A table full of candy. Inspirational and invitings signs.

And art? Art is everywhere you look in the beautiful and handcrafted items carried by this little Michigan store, Catching Fireflies.
