Magpie moved to Davis!

Magpie, a store run by some of the people who run the yearly Bazaar Bizarre, has moved from Huron Village to Davis Square (378A Highland St, next to Rock City Music and the comic book store) earlier this month.

They best summed themselves up on their website as, "We specialize in two main areas of interest: unique, quirky goods hand made by artists and craftspeople, and 'retro' antiques focusing on the best of 20th century American design. Need the perfect gift? Trust us, we got somethin."

Definitely an intriguing shop with really friendly owners. And I believe that they're looking for more local artists/crafters who might be interested in selling their work there.

holy crap!

thanks for the tip

It's a much different vibe than Pluto. Pluto while arty is not crafty; it's more polished. Magpie has a more DiY aesthetic (which doesn't equate to shoddy worksmanship). Both are great gift buying and home decorating stores!

No clue either.

agreed, the owners, Dave & Leah, are two the nicest, most awesome people I've ever known. Plus, Leah runs the web site Craftster (http://www.craftster.org), if you're into that.

Wow... I had just seen Craftster forum only a week or two ago after the bubble gum pink wild boar rug (http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=27267.0) made boingboing (http://www.boingboing.net). But I didn't realize who ran it!
