Joanne Rossman: Purveyor of the unnecessary & the irresistible
About
Joanne Rossman: Purveyor of the Unnecessary & the Irresistible is a gift shop in Roslindale Village stocked with whatever its owner finds beautiful, meaningful, funny, useful, quirky or comforting. The mix includes antiques, art, jewelry, books, men’s gifts, candles and lotions, and the shop bills itself as a curated collection of surprises, treasures and the perfect gift. It describes itself as award-winning and as original, creative and quirky as its owner.
Joanne Rossman runs the store with her pug, Momo, and one reviewer mentions the resident pug as part of the shop’s charm. Reviewers describe the owner as charming, friendly and knowledgeable about her merchandise, and mention the happy greetings on arrival. Rossman also writes a daily blog, posting about her pugs, her checkered past, the dishes she loves to cook and, now and then, the store itself.
