If you recognize those eyeballs, you've been following Found in Ann Arbor for a long time! When the shop was in its early years, I discovered a huge box of never used movable doll eyes at the Alameda Antiques Faire, near San Francisco. Of course, I bought all of them.

Since 2005, oodles of oddities, fun finds and good goods have changed hands. Over a hundred artists and makers have shared their creative works, and so many of you have become dear friends of Found. From our Kerrytown "founding" in 2005, through the first 10 years upstairs, to our move downstairs in 2015, every phase has been an adventure.

In 2021, an opportunity presented itself, and we broke through a wall - literally. Found has grown and changed in ways I couldn't imagine when the idea to open a little store began. I like to think that in our 18th year, we've come of age. That's something to celebrate - so we're throwing a party!

Found's 18th Anniversary Party
Friday, October 6th   5-9pm

Ann Arbor Pride is Saturday August 5th, noon - 9pm!

Found will participating in the Shop, Dine, & Donate event to support Ann Arbor Pride. More than two dozen local businesses will be donating a portion of their sales to raise money for the Jim Toy Community Center. The more you shop, the more is donated! In addition to donating 10% of our sales that day we have some other fun happenings in the shop! 

When you purchase a rainbow wool throw during Ann Arbor Pride we will be gifting you a set of rainbow crystal cocktail picks! 

It is also Stationery Store Day! Check out our ever growing selection of cards and stationery, art supplies, and more! Found will be unofficially participating on Saturday by giving you a FREE Snail Mail sticker with your purchase of any stationery or art supplies!

A vintage typewriter and poetry will come together this Mothers' Day weekend at Found. You're invited to a special GIFT OF POETRY POP-UP, featuring local poet, artist & all around creatrix Jeanne Adwani!

You'll find a full day of activities for an autumn day with a "home" inspired theme in this post from the Reinhart Realtors Blog, from breakfast to evening entertainment. It includes a 10:30am stop at Found!

From the Reinhart blog:

Occupying an anchor spot on the ground floor of Kerrytown Market & Shops, FOUND is a creatively curated shop featuring work by local artists and makers, along with a collection of jewelry, gifts and home decor. You’ll find a bit of “found” vintage items along with eclectic brand new pieces, hand-selected by owner Mary Cambruzzi. Both online and in person, you can shop from a wide variety of items, including pillows, rugs, throws, textiles, candles, mugs, pots and planters, bath and body products, and much more. This is one of our favorite home decor stores in Ann Arbor because of their emphasis on local makers — and the possibility of finding a one-of-a-kind artisan piece no one else has!
