Cadeau

Cadeau, located at 214 Washington Street, is a joyful spot in Brookline Village – a lifestyle boutique focused on handmade items and independent labels.   It’s easy to tell that owner Sara Petras is an artist herself, a painter who trained at the Mass College of Art.  Sara selects everything that goes in the shop and loves talking with her customers about Cadeau’s beautiful products – things like one of a kind sapphire stones set in 18k gold and stoneware pottery with paintings of woodland animals or green suede boots that she helped to design.    

Cadeau is already decked for the holidays.  There are cheeky ornaments dangling in the window, elegant advent calendars filled with sweet and sour candy for each day of December and soft, fun pajamas for cold nights.  If you need drama, check out the hand-forged bracelets, earrings and big, chunky necklaces.  

Cadeau feels like a neighborhood shop because Sara knows her patrons and what appeals to them. It’s  the kind of place where neighbors come in with their dogs just to chat.  If  you are new to Brookline Village, it will only take Sara or her team a few moments before they lead you to the perfect gift, and then they’ll offer you a piece of chocolate while you wait to have it wrapped.
