Bridge Street has a new addition to it’s storefronts. The Attic Door recently opened, and I had the great pleasure to meet with the owner Robbie and receive the grand tour. Let me start by saying that this store is just gorgeous from the amazing chandelier that greets you as you enter, to the hand crafted one-of-a-kind gifts, to the Mickey Mouse memorabilia. Her logo says, “Treasures from the Past and Present”, and it’s not only her passion for keeping these items in use, it’s both her family history as many items currently in the store have been in the family for quite some time and also a reminder of Robbie’s dad and mentor, whom she would occasionally tag along with while he was finding treasures for the store that he once owned. You feel all the love once you step through the door, and it continues to the very back of the store where she has created a library full of delightful items.

The Attic Door sells new and preloved items and there are several other vendors located inside the store; items change regularly so you will want to make a habit of stopping by. The Pink Sister offers beautiful pink dishes that you must see to appreciate. The Lilliput Shoppe (formerly of Mason) has moved into The Attic Door and carries a large assortment of Miniatures and Dollhouses. It really is fun to see all the tiny treasures she has to offer. There is Hazel May Creations, who creates a variety of candles. There are just so many wonderful items, too many to list so you really need to stop by and see for yourself.

I am sure that you will find many things in the store to put on your wish list this Holiday season, and Robbie will be there to greet you with a smile and send you on your way feeling like family. Each time I have been in the store, I have found new treasures and more things that are unique and affordable. It is Robbie’s hope that, the Dimondale and surrounding communities will continue to shop her downtown store and find that perfect gift for every occasion (if there even needs to be an occasion). Stop by The Attic Door at 133 N. Bridge Street, Dimondale to find your own treasures or you may call them at 517-230-9823 for their Holiday hours.
