The Blissful is a lifestyle boutique of French-Inspired Finds & Furnishings. Located in suburban Jackson Township, Canton, Ohio, the shop is the fulfillment of proprietor Abby Kerr’s dream of a luxe, eclectic, slightly funky venue overflowing with quality, Euro-styled goods. A writer and former high school English teacher, Abby’s talent for creating a fictive dream on the page has been translated into her shop’s imaginative vignettes. A million affordable little pick-me-ups draw customers back again and again as they wander through fantasy finds and deluxe appointments. A shop without pretension, customers in workout gear arrive alongside ladies who lunch, while the proprietor runs the floor in flip-flops.

Avid travellers and Francophiles alike say The Blissful takes them right back to some of the best little shops in Europe. The fantastical yet comfortable atmosphere and range of price points inspire customers to return for their fix of the shop’s addictively buyable goods: etched French glassware, Moroccan kitchen accessories, luscious apothecary, mercury glass objets d’art, ruffly velvet clutches, VOTIVO candles, artisan gourmet products, niche-press stationery, statement jewelry, Sid Dickens, Bella Notte bedding, cast iron statuary, European farm tables, handsome armoires and sideboards, glittering chandeliers, and an ever-changing assortment of French art and found-looking mirrors. Abby has an eye for the fresh, on-trend object while keeping the shop’s offerings tied to a rich and varied history.

Established in December 2005, The Blissful will launch online commerce in 2008, while continuing to grow its brick-and-mortar business. We hope The Blissful will become your new addiction of a very marvelous sort.
