This review is long overdue. I've popped into Our Crafty Ways a handful of times over the past few…read moremonths and somehow never wrote a review...which honestly feels like a personal failing. This place is so cool, so unique, and so much fun to explore that I need to sing their praises properly. Our Crafty Ways describes themselves as "Curated curiosities for the magically minded. Discover crystals, spell tools, books, and bewitching gifts for those who walk their own path." And truly, that's exactly what the shop feels like--eclectic, enchanting, and full of treasures that seem to find you as much as you find them. It's been one of my go-to spots when I need a dose of wonder or just want to wander around and see what's new (and yes, I almost always walk out with something). When they announced an event called "A Black & White Christmas: Christmas Reimagined," I immediately put it on my calendar. No way was I missing a monochrome vintage holiday takeover. The Facebook description promised a full transformation into a Black & White Vintage Christmas Market--exclusive items, perfectly wrapped gifts, twinkle lights, vintage vibes, and even letters to Santa or Krampus. Say less. I was in. Before I even stepped inside, the front window display stopped me in my tracks: black-and-white Christmas houses, oversized white snowflakes, and just enough sparkle to feel magical. Walking in felt like stepping into another world. The entire shop had been transformed into a monochromatic winter wonderland with touches of silver and gold adding the perfect hint of shimmer. It was cozy, chic, nostalgic, and completely enchanting. I wandered for quite a while, chatting with the super friendly staff and admiring all the carefully curated displays. And yes...I bought something sparkly for myself. Even though I went in with the full intention of shopping for people on my holiday list. Oops. (Zero regrets.) This shop just speaks to me--its curiosities, its warmth, its proudly eclectic spirit. It's my reminder that there are other strange birds walking this Earth too, and we deserve beautiful spaces like this. Here's what keeps me coming back: The staff is consistently warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. Their curiosities are always rotating--you never see the same shop twice. The prices are surprisingly reasonable for such unique and artfully curated items. I'll keep stopping by when I need a pick-me-up, a moment to myself, or a little magic to brighten my week. If you're even remotely "magically minded" or simply curious...go! You'll understand exactly why this place is such a gem.

Smart move on the owners part to rename and rebrand as Home Decor Warehouse because they sell so much more than just baskets and fake flowers! Although they are right on route 72 the location is rather off the beaten trail. They share the building with the gem store but otherwise are the only retailer nearby in an area that's fairly rural. Don't avoid shopping here because of the distance or you'll miss out, especially if you are into the current trend; modern farmhouse. I'm pretty sure they would make Joanna Gaines proud! Anything and everything modern farmhouse you'll find, plus a few surprises for indoors and out. Make sure you allow yourself ample time to go up and down each isle because there's always something new to discover. Prices aren't deep discount but they are reasonable and the inventory is unique enough that if you see it here you won't find it anywhere else. They also still sell faux flowers and greenery but the majority of the store is household items and decor. You'll also find some furniture pieces and they do have a room set up of outdoor room displays with everything for sale. Even if you don't buy the way they do the displays will give you tons of inspiration for your own home. This past Sunday I stopped in and their outdoor planters were 50% off. I'm talking high quality glazed ceramic pots in all sizes. The selection was picked thru if you're looking for a pair but they still had a variety of individual sizes. The staff is always very pleasant too and will be happy to help you load your car if need be. The older woman at the front cash register is the owner's mother and very personable and also eager to assist. WORTH NOTING: Closed Mondays.

I ordered my mother an arrangement online through Rita's florists they basically put orders out to…read morelocal florists in the area you need and those florists take the bid and fulfill them. When they fulfill them they are given the "recipe" for the ARRANGEMENT, (in my case the standard pretty please arrangement)and they accept the price they are being paid to fulfill that arrangement. Heather House decided to accept the order and the price for the order. On their own website they have the exact same arrangement I ordered and it's listed as a "best seller". Which means they arrange it more regularly you would presume right? So how does the recipe differ based on the accepted price?! Well let me tell you how it differs. Heather House themselves (Patti actually which I believe was actually Neil using a false name)took the order, went to her refrigerator pulled out the flowers that she felt came closest to the ones in the arrangement, threw the stems in a vase and put a bow on the vase and that was the extent of time she took. She did not attempt to match the flowers to the arranged specifications of the standard pretty please arrangement in any way. When my mother sent me photos I was astonished that they felt it was worth more than $10! I could go and buy those flowers in an unarranged bouquet for $5.99! I could have bought a dollar store vase and thrown them in there and threw a bow on it myself for far less money! When I called I got their answering machine so I left a very nice simple message to please call me back. "Patti" did and well she was brash and abrasive and combative to say the least. She felt she needed to question why I used an online service. Truth be told it's not hers to ask but I was shopping for a florist in the area and many of them were too busy to fulfill an order in two days. She then got very loud and stated she only got paid $21 for the arrangement plus $10 delivery fee. I felt that if you accept the order you accept the price and you agree to deliver what the customer ordered, and I stated so. This only led to her growing frustrated and she started to talk about how the Internet misrepresents the arrangements and it's a ripoff and then she has to deal with the backlash. Which I don't understand because I can order online through her site looking at the same picture of the same arrangement,it should not be different just because you go through another company. If you accept the order you should deliver the goods as they should be. Anyways she then said I didn't understand the floral arranging business. That she gets a recipe card for the arrangement and goes off of that and she always ups her prices because you can't make the arrangements with the amount of flowers they put on it. Ok this is where my biggest complaint comes in. She didn't have to accept the order!! She could of seen it said not possible and moved on. She accepted it therefore she should deliver. Instead she rather lose potential customers by sending a pathetic display no where near what was ordered and paid for and then argue with the customer how she couldn't arrange it for the amount she got paid. That shows little talent as well as a huge problem with customer service skills. After explanation of how she couldn't fulfill the order properly I again asked why she took the order if she couldn't do the job well. She stated she needed to clean her fridge out for Valentine's Day! So now you admit you felt the person receiving it didn't deserve the arrangement that was ordered and just should settle for what you felt like giving them?! Wow that's a great mindset to have for customer service! She kept telling me I didn't understand the business and wished me good luck in the future and hung up on me! I am at disbelief someone can be in the business of making things beautiful and be so incredibly rude and discourteous. Not an effort was given for the arrangement or the customer. But don't just take my word check her BBB rating you can see the wonderful "customer service" in action. Very arrogant and will not back their work well unless you paid out the nose. Her response to my complaint online is to take to her businesses fb page and spew lies about how much was paid for the arrangement by ME! She got a portion of what I paid not my doing...she says I expected the flowers to be redelivered for free I never said a word about that I wasn't allowed to speak long enough she just started yelling about how little she got paid and then went into a lecture about Internet ordering and how she hates it. My simple response why did you take the order?! I don't normally complain but her condescension and rudeness is off the charts and no one else should be subject to that kind of attitude. Floral design IS an art form and customer service is important. meshing them together is key. I'm beyond sorry she accepted the order for both sides. She has the ability that's what makes it worse she just didn't care to do better.
