Shopping at HomeGoods is dangerous for the wallet but so much fun…read more Halloween goodies are out

They are open!!!! Just in time for Spring and Summer shopping…read more When I PCSD (moved) to Virginia 9 months ago and realized there was no Hone Goods near by, I realized my wallet would be happy but my heart would be sad! Ha! Welp, guess who is near by! I could not be any happier knowing they are so close! They are doing what they can for all things covid. Enforcing masks, wearing masks themselves and only allowing a certain amount of people inside. I really appreciated that! They also have arrows on the floor... but no one follows those guidelines... sigh. They have a little bit of everything for your home and decor needs. Pricing is normally very reasonable. Home Goods is my jam!

I arrived at HomeSense at 8:15 p.m., well before the posted 9:30 p.m. closing time. By 8:30,…read moreannouncements had already started telling customers to make their final selections because the store would be closing "in an hour," and those announcements continued every 15 minutes. I was shopping for a newly purchased home and planned to buy a couch, a rug, and several other items. At approximately 8:30, I asked an associate how to purchase the couch and arrange delivery. She provided the information, and I continued shopping for a rug. At 8:45, I needed to use the restroom. An associate told me the restrooms were already closed because they had been cleaned and that I could not use them. The store was not closing for another 45 minutes. I then spoke with the manager and explained that I was prepared to spend approximately $1,000 but would have to leave without purchasing anything because I needed to use the restroom. Instead of attempting to resolve the situation, she justified the decision by saying the store closed in 44 minutes and only had four employees working. To be clear, I was not asking for special treatment. I was a paying customer asking to use the restroom during normal business hours. HomeSense chose to let a roughly $1,000 sale walk out the door so I could go across the street to Wawa and use their restroom. I also asked for the district manager's contact information and was refused. Apparently, sales must be so good that this location can turn away customers, close amenities nearly an hour early, and dismiss a significant purchase without concern. This was one of the most unnecessarily frustrating and poorly handled retail experiences I have had. I will be spending my money elsewhere.

When you need all things home with the side of extra, this is where to get it. Every time I've…read moregone in the store has been very clean. The bathroom is in the back left and wonderful and always clean. The staff I've always been amazing. I constantly see them helping out customers getting things to their cars and being patient with them whenever they have a question. I can always find a good deal there especially in the clearance section. They are always getting new stock in, so I frequent there at least once a week. Some of the items that they have is carpet, bedding, lighting, seating, kitchenware wall decor, etc.

This store is incredible. Being an avid shopper, The Velvet Shoestring is the best consignment…read morefurniture and decor store I have ever been in. They offer high end items at reasonable prices. The store is well stocked, clean and the people that work there are friendly and helpful. We go there every time we visit Williamsburg and always find something we can't live without! A tip: if you see something you really want, buy it then as things sell out quickly. Several times I made the mistake of not buying an item at the time I saw it and came back the next day and it was gone.

On our way to dinner in Williamsburg while visiting family nearby, we stopped at The Velvet…read moreShoestring to check on their latest antiques and consignment pieces. My sister has scored several niece paintings and decor accessories here over the years, and I was close to purchasing a beautiful dining room set a few years ago that was offered at an incredible price. But for the shipping issues, it would be in my Bucks County home today. We were free to wander around the crammed warehouse-like space without disturbance from staff. I found several Asian pieces (wood carved, metal cast, crystal and pastel ceramic) that were tempting and priced to sell. Didn't pull the trigger because I needed more time to consider which would be best at home. But, still had a good time searching, and may give them a call about safe packaging for the two I am most attracted by. No doubt, we will be visiting again this year (2024), and will stop in again, so even if those things are gone, there will be new and perhaps even better ones to capture my imagination.

The location is in Hampton VA but it's definitely worth the drive from VA Beach if you plan maybe half a day to include shopping and then maybe movie nearby, At Home is definitely a destination for you to purchase items you thought you didn't need but get inspired to, or get reminded you need to find replacement or update to items and ideas for your home. They had great sale on picnic items, vases and planters. Their vases in particular are of a huge variety of shapes, sizes, material, design. Their small decor are those you'd find in online specialty shops which you can inspect and take home with you instead of waiting for them to be delivered or returned just because there were details you couldn't see. Huge space, bright and airy ambience that gives you a sense of peaceful delight looking through aisles and aisles of unique finds. Friendly staff asking if you're looking for anything in particular. This is a must visit place, heaven for unique items shoppers!

This is a cute shop to buy a souvenir in Cape Charles! If you're a family or have a kid with you,…read moreThe Boardwalk should be on your must to-visit list. The store is very coastally cute with nautical items, an abundance of Cape Charles branded items and the little trinkets I remember obligatory buying for friends and family when I went on vacation without them. However, make no mistake, not everything in here is kitschy. If the vibe in your home is nautical, they have a huge selection of kitchen wares, decor, candles and more that go with that theme. It can be easy to get swept away in that feeling (no pun intended) In the back of the store, they have a fairly large toy section which is going to delight the heck out of any kid! Overall, this shop is very sweet and a worthy stop on your stroll through Cape Charles. It's on the main downtown block in Cape Charles, surrounded by other sweet local businesses. Bring your kids in here to find a fun souvenir, or just let yourself be surprised and walk away with something to remind you of this cute coastal town.
