It was truly an amazing, memorable morning - and we will be back!!

While we were hanging the picture this weekend, that particular frame did not have glass in it. The other three framed pictures had glass. I brought the picture in to show them there was no glass. He looked at my invoices and told me that I wasn't charged for the glass for that frame and another frame, an 8x10. Four newly framed pictures, three had glass , one did not. ????? Why that particular frame, I don't know. $26 later, I paid for the glass. He said he wouldn't charge me for the 8x10 glass that they "gave " me. The employee had to redo the back and everything that it entails to put the glass in, that should have been put in the first time. I just assumed that if you buy a picture frame and he asks, what kind of glass it was that I wanted, he would put glass in all of them. I gave them my information including my phone number when I placed the order. Common sense would have been to call me and this could have been taken care of in two minutes. Customer Service could use an upgrade.

A great source for landscaping and fruiting plants and a great place to start building a houseplant collection. I generally find the selection of houseplants to be pretty common, but I always have to stop in because, every once in a while, they have a unique or hard-to-find variety that I just can't pass up! It's just not a go-to location if you're seeking something on the rare side.

For the Holidays she was giving away patterns, even pattern booklets, from a selection on the table in the back room. She is starting this business, assuming it from the original owner, and she has changed the name of the shop. For a starting business she has a carefully chosen selection of yarns of good quality. She has synthetic and natural fiber yarns including locally grown and hand dyed ( I couldn't resist: Anything Goes, which was hand dyed locally on a base of Dream in Color Cosette.
