Found

If you enjoy seeking out unusual treasures, this is a unique store just for you. There are so many neat things to discover such as old or antique items that have been recycled and repurposed into cool useable items.
Whether it’s things for the home, a piece of one of a kind jewelry or a gift for that hard to buy for person, there’s something for everybody.
Even if you find nothing, it’s a neat place to wander into and enjoy looking at everything they have to offer.

Every year I come to Ann Arbor on business and have to make a stop at this shop! I always find amazing stuff, both new and old, and the staff is friendly, talkative and love where they work:) love the new space, a must if you come to Ann Arbor and love poking around in a fun shop. Super reasonable prices as well.

I’ve been visiting Found for years upstairs in the Kerrytown building next to the farmers market. They’ve always had a fun, unique assortment of vintage, industrial, local, and creative goods. They’ve recently moved to a lower-​level space that is absolutely gorgeous! The new space is warm, bright, contemporary, and inviting! There’s more space for their merchandise and a demo station for workshops. The staff is always friendly and willing to help you out. It’s a nice stop as far as Ann Arbor gift stores are concerned.

This is my favorite store for cool house decorations or jewelry from local artists. You can spend a lot fast, but each piece has a story.

Sells a lot of cool vintage and unique items! Things tend to be a bit on the pricier end of reasonable, in my opinion. But the stuff you find will be unique and likely worth the price! I’ve bought some cute little cups here. They also have a wonderful selection of candles, and even craft supplies! I love to just come in and see what I can find. The staff are also super kind and helpful!

Cute store, lots of cute gift giving things or home décor items :) The staff were super friendly and the woman that appeared to be the owner or mgr. asked if we wanted free gift wrapping and was so helpful giving me directions to other stores in the area. Will definitely be back.

SETTING:
I’ve been to this store when it was on the second floor of the Kerrytown market area. Now it is on the first floor in a larger venue. Definitely a terrific decision for an upgrade! This new venue reminds me of a log cabin. I enjoy the more open layout, now that they have more space to work with.
ITEMS:
If you’re thinking about getting a gift, you HAVE to make a visit to Found. They have plenty of antique-​like objects, souvenirs, Ann Arbor specific items, seasonal items, anything and everything for all sorts of people. Many of these items are very affordable too. There are sales every now and then that range from 10−20% off the entire store during holidays.
SERVICE:
Whenever I drop in they are always smiling. Just a joy to be around. Recently, I came to return an item because it was a slightly broken. The staff were very nice and even picked out a new item for me, even though I already found myself a new one. They apologized to me, saying they «were sorry I had to go through all this trouble and come back just to get a new item». It wasn’t a big deal, really, but I do appreciate their sincere customer service.
IMPRESSIONS:
I really adore this place. It’s a cute store with lots of cool items. Very easy to spend a good amount of time just sifting through all their unique offerings. Need something for Mom or Dad? Significant other? Friend? I’ll bet you can find something at Found that will warm their heart at a good price.

Yup, you have ‘Found’ your local treasure store in Kerrytown!
This place is a nice collection of antique-​ish items, local jewelry, fanciful charms, soy and wax based candles and many, many more intriguing items.
They used to be located upstairs in the Kerrytown Market but are now downstairs with more visibility. The new store has great windows and feels more ‘free’ than the upstairs location which could get rather snug.
They sell Ferndale-​based Green Daffodil Soy Candles which have amazing scents like vanilla musk, cucumber mint, coconut lime and even one for headache relief! My favorite is the ‘spa day’ which literally can transport you to your favorite beach with just a light of a candle. It ‘burns’ the stress right out of you!
You’ll be sure to find something unique at every visit. It’s also a good place to look for a gift for that person that ‘has-​everything’.

Plenty of cool stuff! Amazing gift ideas to choose from. Great place to window shop as well.
Very retro in general. The jewelleries are cute but not really my style.

A veritable treasure trove of unique items.
I love this place. Great gift items, unique jewelry, DIY-​style accessories. I have to get something every single time I stop in. Check out their unique jewelry and craft items. They have such interesting little gems in this shop. What’s cooler than jewelry made from silverware???
It’s hard not to waste an afternoon in this shop. There’s so much to look at, so many unique pieces to check out. Apart from DIY arts & craft items and home décor, the store carries jewelry, candles, antiques, and one-​of-​a-​kind gift ware. The prices are typical for the Kerrytown area, but not out of line with the quality and uniqueness of what’s being sold. I’m in love with the whole reclaimed and upcyled concept to begin with, so Found is definitely my kind of store.
Get on their email list for special promotions. The owner is so nice, she just loves to chat about home décor with shoppers. She’s unbelievably friendly and loves to exchange tips/​ideas about anything DIY. Her suggestions are great and she really enjoys sharing ideas with customers.

I love this place. In fact, the first time I visited I felt like I was there the entire afternoon! The owner is the nicest lady. We chatted quite a bit, and not just about her store — she asked me about a t-​shirt that I was wearing which advertised a non-​profit that I work with and support. She seemed genuinely interested in hearing what I had to say. And seems like the kind of person who also supports her local community.
There really isn’t a good way to describe the variety of merchandise you will find here. My big thing is jewelry. And there is plenty of it, make your own and already made! If you’re into the retro look, come here. If you want to support your local artists, come here. If you love purses and handbags, come here. If you like stores that have the unexpected, definitely come here!

Mmm… Found. What can I say? I love this place. But that doesn’t even begin to sum it up. It’s stupendous. No, not even that describes it. You just need to come in here. I nearly died on seeing their selection of real type slugs, all in an original printer’s cabinet. When I went in, there were also about four or five drawers of old glass slides for five bucks each. This store made me want to move to Ann Arbor… badly. Just for the sake of having this place at close range.
Overall, the prices are fair – you get what you pay for. I wouldn’t say I found anything too expensive, for what you would be getting. There is a huge variety of things, I don’t think anyone would be dissatisfied at coming in here – it’s mind-​blowing. Especially if, like me, you enjoy things of the older persuasion.
The staff was very friendly, made enjoyable conversation, and made the whole place fun to be in. I would definitely tell you to go in here. Your life will be changed.

I love this place! A few weeks ago I attended antique button jewelry-​making workshop, and it was fun, relaxing, creative and inspiring. The staff hosted the workshop along w/​the owner of SweetPlumVintage, one of the store’s artists. We made charm bracelets out of vintage buttons and charms. The store provided fruit, cheese, wine, and sparkling water while we crafted away.
The store’s layout is eye-​catching with soft, comforting colors. For the creative crafter, there are jars of antique buttons, game pieces, envelopes of used stamps, books on collage, ephemera galore, and a discriminatory selection of craft tools. For the collector, there are beautiful works of art made of repurposed materials. One of my favorites are the bags and purses made of burlap coffee bags from Mighty Good Coffee. The collage jewelry is sweet too!
Since Found is so well merchandised, you will not find flea market prices. However, you won’t have to sift through lots of junk to find your jewels.

Reminded me of a smaller curated version of Treasure Mart put on display when I dropped in the first time over the weekend. They also do occasional classes as I walked in what seemed to be a «how to make a heirloom charm bracelet» lesson with twenty some women.
The store carried a mixed hodgepodge of jewelry, cards, soaps/​lotions, and scrap booking/​collaging raw materials, which of course reflected the title of the store, «Found». The most odd item for me personally was the vintage medical tin complete with supplies. My favorite were the notebooks made from old hardcover books which I may just have to return for.

I was almost expecting to find even more things stuffed into Found… I’ve walked past this little shop many times, but not been lured in until today. I love the mix of older «deadstock» items (Christmas globes that could be from my mom’s childhood yet look like they’ve never been used), along with well-​loved and yes, new items.
I’m thankful that the owners put time and thought into merchandising, because I guess if they store was overly crowded with any and all things it could feel cluttered. The white theme and open air vibe of the shop helps keep things fresh rather than attic-​ish.
I would say this is a good spot for gifts for female friends and relatives, skewing slightly older, particularly for those who appreciate objects for their individual character rather than a specific brand name or shiny new-​ness.
There are certainly new items here, though — including some buttery soft soy lotions and soy candles made by Ferndale-​based Green Daffodil. I’m pleased as punch that they stock these candles — They were one of my favorite Michigan-​made discoveries this year… and I had just run out of the stock I’d purchased at this summer’s DIY Street Fair.
I had a pleasant conversation with the staff about a local children’s book illustrator as well. Even though they don’t stock a whole lot of books, his had a connection to the store (he used a lot of found paper, objects and children’s stamp sets to produce it), and it was great to hear about their support of his project.
I’m glad I finally discovered this little spot, and I can see myself stopping in every few months to spy a unique gift or two for my mom, aunt, or perhaps a friend.

Imagine a family– from kids to parents to grandma– accumulating a house full of stuff from the 1930s through the 1950s, then having the house boarded up and left for half a century. Fifty years later, the house is opened up, and a cornucopia of early 20^th century stuff is put on display like an eccentric yard sale. That’s exactly what Found feels like.
As another reviewer has said, part of the fun of Found is in the way things are displayed. You will find a cabinet with see-​through drawer fronts with a sign encouraging you to explore the drawers to find unusual small items. Another dresser has drawers filled with fabric and craft materials.
You will find vintage gift card boxes, ancient typewriter keys, old silver jewelry, hand embroidered tablecloths and more at Found. They also offer a small selection of new merchandise, ranging from candy to cards to candles and soaps. It’s a fun place to explore. If you know someone who likes 1950s housewife kitsch or someone who would appreciate a Scrabble tile to add to her charm bracelet, this would be the place to shop.

I was excited to go to Found, i was expecting a eclectic funky grandma’s attic sort of thing, instead i got a few fun great things, like a basket made out of film negatives, and a bunch of stuff i really would find in MY grandma’s attic, such as chipped salt and pepper shakers. But I will go back when i am in kerrytown, it may bet better.

Imagine some old type of storage unit with the drawers labled «doll furniture,» «dolls,» «spoons,» and so on. Creative display is really a specialty of this place. Other choices: old silver forks made into whimsical wall hangings, spoons made into rings, typewriter keys made into bracelets… and also new things like candles and candle holders, odd gifts.
Prepare to be amused! Another of the attractive shops in Kerrytown.
