Editorial Review for Blendo – by Lauren McCutcheon

In Short
It's Antique Row for beginners at Mary Ann Cardellino's divinely cluttered hodgepodge of kitsch and collectibles. A sidewalk assortment of straw sunflowers and Formica tables is just the tip of the iceberg. Stepping through the door means rediscovering your grandma's collection of Easter bonnets, printed linen tablecloths, 1950s martini shakers and art-deco cabinets mixed with new items like tie-dyed onesies, letterpress stationery and grape lip gloss, all as you hum to the tunes of vintage Ella.

The Extras

The shop is just too small to fit all of Cardellino's treasures. If you can't find what you seek, ask about the stable storage unit in Queen Village.

This is the wildest find! I love combing thru this menagerie of offerings in a witch's attic setting. Everyday is Halloween @ Blendo! You can find a glittering rubbr ring that flashes for your 4 yr. old or a $100.00 cocktail dress from the 50's, beaded to perfection! I just luv wandering around this Pine St. store. The side walk sale is really fun and available daily! So much fun.

I have been in this store quite a few times over the years and always had good customer service, as well as found some unique, affordable items. However, the other day I was in there to pick up some last minute items and was treated so horrendously that I will probably never return to the store. I accidentally dropped an item I was purchasing anyway (which by the way no damage was done to it) and a middle aged women with glasses, whom I never seen there before, tyrrated over to me in a huff, grabbed everything out of my hands and then proceeded to check all the store items around me, after I informed her that I only dropped a $10.00 item that I was purchasing anyway. She then proceeded to talk about me to another women and when she saw I noticed she got real quite and changed the subject. I find it shocking a women probably twice my age would act in such a juvenile manner. Having worked in customer service for years when I was younger, I have never treated a paying client with such disrespect. Probably the nastiest women I ever encountered, that was just plain mean and miserable.

Pros: Unique items, affordable

Cons: Most of the employees are nice, but one was so mean I will not return
