Discover the eclectic mix of locally-made products, art supplies and antiques inside the historic but remodeled Lind Chevrolet Garage building circa 1920 - back when the streets were mud and tweets were reserved for the birds. We got our start in 2008, when Colorado native and art quilter Jill Terrill took the entrepreneurial plunge.
Each day, Joy & Company's team helps people experience joy - and we have a ton of fun while we're doing it! We hope you get the chance to drop by our big store and say "hi" sometime. Our somewhat fearless leader, Jill Terrill, has been a maker as long as she can remember. Her Grandma Ella taught her to see beauty in the little things and she hasn't stopped looking and seeing it yet.

This place is an artist's dream.
Their selection easily outmatches any of that in art stores in the Twin Cities, both in terms of variety in things sold/variants of those things. Think walls and walls of every kind of pen, brush, marker, pencil, paint, sketchbook, paper, and specialty artesan tool you can think of.
I personally use a variety of professional level tools for my art business, including Jaquard Lumiere paints, Tombow brush pens, and Japanese Micron pens. I have never been to a store that had not only all of these tools in those high-quality brands, but every single kind of them,

This place will bring you exactly what's in the name... JOY! From the people that you encounter to all the fun, cool, creative, artsy, unique items that they sell... it's a place you don't want to miss if you are in Grand Marais! It's an excellent shop to find that perfect gift for anyone in your life and it also has an amazing selection of art supplies.

This store is a delightful mix of antiques and art. The building, which is an old Chevy dealership has been transformed into a wonderful creative space, with not just art for sale, but with opportunities to make art. Inside is the lunch counter of an old ice cream parlor, chalk to color on the floor, an amazing mosaic and so much more. The folks that work there are the artists themselves. It is a funky, fun, place to visit.

Quirky place!
Used clothing, new clothing (Eco-friendly brands).
Locally crafted jewelry and art, antique dishwares.
One more... Vintage records, succulent plants.
Wut?! This place is like my house!
Velvet Underground was playing through the speakers of the small shop. A woman, kinda hippied up, was working behind the counter. She greeted us but wasn't in our face about us being there (we were also the only patrons). The perfect customer service IMO - don't bug me while I'm contemplating space print tights.
I ended up with a purchase of a driftwood wrapped necklace made by a Grand
