While I'm familiar with the Blakeney Shopping Center, I made my way into Creative by Nature for the…read morefirst time last week. I was a little apprehensive, even though i live and breathe design oriented stores. Just walking in made my adrenaline flow! I saw brands that i know and love and an eclectic bunch of accessories and "chotchkies" that make the store stand out from everyone else! The owners are brilliant with their buying and merchandising expertise and I'm now in love! The store fits in perfectly with the Blakeney vibe and demographic and I hope they grow and prosper for many years to come. What a pleasure it was to see such a beautiful shop and meet and work with some of the friendliest and most welcoming staff. I will be back, for sure!!!!

Huge difference in your bouquet over the other 2. Your arrangement was spectacular compared to either of the other 2 which by comparison looked mediocre. Great job!

I tried ordering an arrangement on their website. Clicked on "Add to Cart" and the button changed…read moreto "Adding to cart". Then nothing. Called them up to place the order, at around noon. Told them I would come and pick it up later that day. They said, fine, it will be ready by 3. Got there at 3:15, and was told they had forgotten to make it, and could I wait about 20 minutes for it. Took more time out of my day than I had anticipated. It was a nice arrangement, though. It was for my wife's birthday. She loved it.

They always greet you and let you know they are available to help, and then they kind of just let you browse in peace. They sell some of the items you find at Sephora (without the overbearing sales staff), as well as some items you can't find other places. I love this store!

For those of you into candles, you MUST go to Blacklion in Charlotte and find McCalls Candles. They…read moreare amazing!!! I love scented candles and am always looking to try new scents. These candles are truly awesome - they have great scents such as Apple Spice, Autumn Leaves, Pumpkin Spice, Banana Nut, and my of-the-moment favorite, Campfire Marshmallows - our whole place reeks like this candle, and we LOVE it!! Try this company out and take a while to sniff around and see what your nose enjoys, and then get ready to experience a great candle. A 16 oz. jar will set you back about $24, and you will get 110-130 hours of burn time. Happy sniffing!

I am a huge fan of McCall's candles. I was first given one about six years ago, the Campfire…read moreMarshmallows scent, and I fell in love with the smell and the adorable way the candles are packaged with old fashioned labels and metal tops with metal handles. Since then I have ordered online from then a couple of times every year and some of my favorite scents are the following: Blue Ribbon Banana Raisin Cream Apple Butter State Farm Caramel Apples Sunrise Cinnamon Bun Banana Nut Bread These candles make great gifts because it is rare to find them in stores and not many people I know are familiar with them. It would be great if more Chicago gift stores started to carry this brand because I can't say enough good things about them.

I went to an Waist bead event my friend invited me to at Happy Kat candles & Gifts. This event was for people to come and make a personalized waist bead. The event cost $25 and it was from 6pm-8pm At the event the host supplied some snacks and drinks for us. There was music playing and she supplied all of the items we needed to make our own waist beads. She had a variety of bead colors for us to choose from. We were socially distanced while making our waist beads. The host played a game with the customers while we were making our waist beads to pass the time. I arrived a little late to the event but it didn't stop me from making my beads I was still welcomed and there was no time limit to completed your beads. While we socialized and played games and made our waisted beads the time flew by. It was a nice event to get around people and do something fun especially after a long day of work and it be something relaxing and entertaining. After I made my beads the host helped me tie them and explained how to put it on and off. This event was really nice and I will be coming back again to make another one to get a variety of waist beads for my outfits.
