Thistles 'n Things
We began as a home based silk & dried flower shop in 1980 and designed fresh flower arrangements for over 500 weddings. I taught floral design at Iona College and created commercial floral displays for clients such as NY Giants, General Foods and Ethan Allan. We evolved into a Children's Special Occasion Shop carrying clothing, dress and school shoes, and accessories.

We stock over 100 styles of communion, christening and party dresses from infant to 14. Plus sizes available from 8x to 16x. Suit styles range in sizes from infant to 20, husky sizes available from 8 husky to 20 husky. We cherish being part of each special milestone in your child's life. From their Baptism to their First Holy Communion, and beyond.

Janet was amazing and had great customer service! She truly was a one stop shop! I was able to get my flower girl's dress here. They also have a great selection of ring boy attire.

WONDERFUL! I was told about this little boutique located in Scarsdale when I was in search for a communion dress for my goddaughter.
From the moment I called and spoke to Sandy til the moment I picked up her beautifully embroidered face mask, Sandy treated me like family.
Great selection of dresses but we only had a try on three before my goddaughter fell in love with hers.
I can go on and on but long/short you won't be disappointed.

If you are looking for the perfect place to shop for Christening, Communion or Special Occassion attire, you MUST make a stop at Thistles 'n Things. I shopped at a few different stores to find the perfect dress for my daughter's upcoming Communion. I will tell you from FIRSTHAND experience that the attention and dedication that we received at Thistles 'n Things from Sandy went far beyond what any other store in the Tristate area offered to us. Sandy gave us so much time and dedication as she aided us in finding the perfect fit. Not only did she pay attention to the dress, but

What a great experience. This store has EVERYTHING you could need for your little ones special day- first communion, christening... you name it! The selection is great and options for every budget. You get to try everything on, accessorize and enjoy an experience vs ordering a dress online. The ladies who run the shop are awesome. My little girl loved it!

Perfection!!! Huge selection, super focused personalized service, and everything you need, all in one place. My daughter loved shopping for her First Communion dress here and felt like a princess as she looked through all the dress options and tried them on. I appreciated the advice and kind attention from Janet, who put together a beautiful ensemble for us. I can't recommend this boutique highly enough!!

This place was awesome! Janet was so helpful and pleasant; she made my very shy daughter feel right at home. It is truly a one stop shop full of beautiful dresses, boy's suits, shoes, and all things pretty! Would definitely recommend this place to everyone!

By appointment only!!!!!! It's a very cute shop in a quiet neighborhood in Yonkers in the basement of a beautiful home. They had so much to choose from white and ivory gown. I went to buy my 2 month old a christening dress. There was so much to choose from the woman who helped us (sorry I forgot her name) was so attentive to our needs she pulled out several selections and accessories. We ended up buying a beautiful dress, shoes, sweaters and accessories. Some items have the options of customization. Definitely will use this store for every special occasion.
