Peregrin — Local services in Mendon

This store is GORGEOUS. All of the displays are so beautifully curated and you can tell that the owner puts so much thought into the different vignettes throughout the store. She was so kind as to assist us when we showed up on a whim on a Sunday afternoon and spent what I feel like was an obnoxiously long time selecting throw pillows for our newly-redesigned bedroom. She took the time to look at photos of our space, make different suggestions based on the elements we had already chosen - she even took the extra time to pull pillowcases that "matched" the best (as each one was unique due to the way the design was printed). It is that level of attention to detail that really sets apart your experience shopping in a place like this as opposed to a big box store. I never intended to spend that much on pillows but it was so great working with her that we walked away with products we really love and will have for a LONG time (plus the joy that comes with supporting a local business). Even my 4-year old commented on "what beautiful pillows" we had acquired. Also, when speaking to her about the products, EVERY piece has a story. She can identify where it came from, how the makers are compensated for their work, and you can just tell that sustainability and ethically sourced products are a huge priority for her. I can't wait to go back sometime and see what other treasures she discovers on...

Not only is Emily welcoming and knowledgeable — she genuinely cares about you. Every item in her store is special, and she knows exactly where it comes from. In a society where we often don’t think about the origins of things, this is truly extraordinary.

This was one of the few times I’ve been so fully immersed and interested that I forgot my husband was waiting for me with our 5-month-old. Thankfully, there’s a place for him to sit when the weather warms up — the “husband bench.” Hilarious!

Thank you, Peregrin, for creating such a special place in the...

A beautiful, well curated home decor store. It also smells really good?! The store places an emphasis on ethically made artisanal goods with products sourced from Ghana to Guatemala to New England. Each item is labeled with a country of origin and is displayed in beautiful, inspirational ways that could easily be applied to my own home. This is a beautiful shop to stop into if you’re looking for pillows, blankets, or rugs for your home or for a thoughtful, unique gift for family and friends....
