So grateful for the personalized attention we received while shopping for my daughter's First Communion dress. Sandy was amazing and outfitted my daughter from head to toe. I highly recommend this shop for their beautiful dresses and accessories. I cannot thank them enough for their expertise, kindness and the ease of the entire experience. And my daughter felt like princess! Thank you, thank you! One less thing to worry about!!

Janet and Sandy,

Winnie's First Holy Communion was such a special day for our family.  And it was made even more special because of how beautiful our baby girl looked from head to toe - from the veil, to the dress, from the necklace to the shoes, from the petticoat to the knee socks, we thank you.  Thank you both for taking the time to help our Winnie find the perfect everything for her Communion Day.  She was so very happy!!

With much appreciation,

Sandy took care of us and just provided a great experience. I went with the flower girl and her parents whom are very close friends. She treated us like she knew us for years. Very polite and attentive. She made great suggestions and had just the right touch with my 4 yr old flower girl. My FLower girl was so excited about trying on her dress. Was so glad that they had the Joan Calabrese dress I saw online. I checked other locations and was not able to find it or had to be special ordered. This was my first visit and am glad I found this as a registered vendor on the website. Will be returning for future special occasions. Can't wait for my wedding day and love that my flower girl will look amazing in her dress. Thanks Sandy! The boutique offers a full array of dresses, shoes and accessories.

We have been going to Thistle and Things for years now! We started going there years ago when my younger cousins made their communions. We then again went back for my goddaughters dress for my wedding in 2014 and Janet and Sandy helped us to pick the most perfect dress to help my flower girl look like a little princess. They made the dress look super full at the bottom by adding three petticoats underneath the dress. During that visit we also bought my wedding headpiece as well as my flower girl’s headpiece. Then two years later, we returned to Thistle and Things to buy my son’s christening attire. Once again everything was perfect and exactly what I wanted. They had everything we needed to make shopping with an infant painless. Janet and Sandy are the absolute best!

I would love to give them 10 stars for the personalized customer service we received. This was the best experience I’ve had since my daughter’s wedding. Janet and Sandy are very genuine and gracious to all those who walk into their shop. They welcomed us with open arms and had everything we needed for our Baby Daniel’s Dedication. Very impressed!!

Dear Janet & Sandy:

Thank you again for the special service you gave and making me look special.

Love, Kaitlyn Rose Gui

Dear Janet & Sandy- 

I just want to "thank you" both for all your special attention you gave to me & my daughter to make her day special.  Kaitlyn received so many compliments on her dress & veil- I can't recommend you both enough to everyone I see- 

I think it's great to be able to buy the dress, veil, & all the accessories too- you have a great selection- jewelry, shoes, flowers... Mom's can make one stop & get everything.

Enjoy your summer.

Best regards, Diane

Hi Janet,
I can’t believe that it has taken me so long to send a photo to you of Catie & Carly’s Baptism which was held 7/17/11 at Annunciation. My husband Chris & I have been so busy but every time we take the girls for a stroller ride through the neighborhood and pass your house I always say that I still need to find 2 minutes to send you a photo of the girls dressed in their beautiful baptism attire.

Thanks!
Beth & Christopher Schierloh

Thank you for the beautiful clothes! Looking forward to buying Communion dresses!

Hi Janet, I've been meaning to send you pics for a LONG time! I was in your shop by back in November to 
work with you on my third son's Christening Outfit. Once again, I am super thrilled with the way everything worked out! I'm so glad I found you back in 2008 for my first son,Giovanni's Christening. Since then you've outfitted all of my boys - Giovanni, Niccolo and now Alessandro! A new family tradition that I will hopefully be able to continue! Thanks again!
