Reminded me of another passage from The Fellowship of the Ring: "Anything that Hobbits had no immediate use for, but were unwilling to throw away, they called a mathom. Their dwellings were apt to become rather crowded with mathoms, and many of the presents that passed from hand to hand were of that sort." In the back of the place is a Chocolate Shop. I decided to get a half pound of the Chocolate covered peanut clusters - and while I was waiting for the lady to weigh out my treasure - I found a Birthday Card that made me laugh out loud - so I bought it as well. Cool shop!

Everything is exquisite. There's something for everyone and something at every price point. The jewelry selection was quite interesting, as was the art selection. Some beautiful dishware as well. My favorite part of the visit to this huge and interesting shop was the vast selection of rugs downstairs! GORGEOUS SELECTION! I mean, STUNNING. I met three lovely staff members throughout my hours long visit. Each helpful and friendly as I navigated my way through the huge space. I can't wait to visit again. Next time, I'll bring a cargo van and load it up!

The prospective customer base for the items she sells is extraordinarily passionate about ornaments and inquisitive about their provenance; however, it is quite clear that she doesn't understand these customers nor the questions they ask at all. I am also fairly confident that she intentionally removes the MSRP tag from the Old World Christmas ornament line in order to charge prices in excess of MSRP. I have visited many similar stores throughout PA and MD and have never encountered this phenomenon elsewhere.

I was looking forward to visiting this store but quickly realized that they don't like children. My…read moredaughter picked up an overpriced stuffed animal that she wanted, but I was still debating whether to purchase it. As she hugged the little toy, an elderly man approached and stood next to us, staring. I tried to make friendly conversation, but he told me it was a very high-quality item, and if I wasn't going to buy it, I should put it back. It made me feel so uncomfortable that I took it from my daughter, who started to cry, and left the store. If the staff treated potential customers better, I might have made a purchase, as I had originally intended to buy some Christmas decorations. It's such a shame--it's a cute store, but the staff is rude.

Which is exactly why I was so pleased to find the newly opened Nature Composed shop on the ground floor of the Middleburg Events Studio. If you like #basic flowers than this shop is not for you -- they work with local farmers to provide in season blooms that are arranged in a loose, flowy, artful way. Like it was just picked from a field! What really caught my eye was all of their terrariums placed in vintage containers all over the store. I literally ran from corner to corner exclaiming with glee and joy and asking tons of annoying questions along the way. The florist never lost patience with me and carefully explained all of the items they had in stock and also let me know about future workshops and fun things they have coming for the spring time. I went home the proud owner of a mounted staghorn fern (pricing on par to what I've seen on Etsy but I was happy to be able to inspect and choose in person) and ideas on how I want to decorate my home. They also sell really interesting bohemian crystal and brass jewelry that I'll probably dream about until my next trip. They also do weddings too. Seriously shut up and take ALL MY MONEY!
