Bumble's Dry Goods — Local services in Chelsea

It's impossible not to walk into this charming store once you see it's darling rabbit logo. It says: I am a cozy place to buy happy things. Full of gifts for every age (and even pets). My favorites were the tiles from local Ann Arbor Pewabic Pottery. Each one striking whether a light switch cover, mounted in a clock, or for use in a backsplash or as coasters. I loved the artwork on the walls. I also liked all the different cards. Our family loves sending snail mail, thank you cards, get well cards...and they had so many unique artisan cards. And so many other small gifts to slip in an envelope for mailing. My final.favorite were the special tea selection. There is a bland called Mackinac that is a lovely 'state of Michigan' gift for family and friends who are visiting from out of state. A delicious flavor that makes you think both of summer or winter in the northern part of the state (cool and cozy at the same time). Next time you are in town for a stroll...

If you’re in downtown Chelsea, you have to stop into Bumble’s Dry Goods. It’s such a fun little shop right in the heart of town, and honestly, it’s one of those places that just makes you happy the minute you walk in. The vibe is warm and cozy—cute displays, local art, and a mix of things you didn’t know you needed until you see them.

They’ve got all kinds of unique gifts, home goods, and Michigan-made treasures. Think candles that actually smell good, clever kitchen stuff, adorable cards, and art that would look perfect in any room. It’s the kind of shop where you can find something. Slow down, browse a little, and enjoy the small-town charm. Definitely worth...

Last year around Valentine's Day, my husband was traveling for work in Chelsea, Mich. (we live in N.Y.). He asked his colleagues there where he could go to get his wife a gift with some local flavor, and they highly recommended Bumble's Dry Goods (so glad they did!). He went to Bumble's and brought me home a delicious local tea, Great Lakes Tea & Spice roasted almond delight. My husband was in Chelsea again recently, and I asked him to please stop by the wonderful little local shop again for more of that delicious tea, which he did. Bumble's packaged the tea in a rustic bag with floral tissue paper - just lovely. I hope to be here in person...
