Customer Service is extremely disappointing. I ordered a wooden enamel tray, and it was only…read morepackaged in a plastic envelope/bag. Of course, the enamel broke in many places. Michelle refunded the $17.99 for the tray, but refused to refund the $8.99 shipping charges--"hope you understand" were her words. I do not understand as it was someone in her shop who carelessly packaged the tray in a flimsy bag. I will not be ordering from her ever again.

They sell home and garden decorations as well as some women's clothing. The items are nice but in all honestly... not a lot of them are "deals". I've seen other extremely similar items at various other places (HomeGoods, TJMaxx, Goodman's etc for less). But it's nice to shop local. Super cute merchandising displays in the store too and the staff was nice.

Short Version: Very-cute little store of vintage and upcycled items. Everything is extremely clean…read moreand in good condition. Surprisingly great prices. Lots of chalk-painted furniture. Very friendly owner, and she collects/redesigns/repaints the items herself. Definitely lots of cute stuff here. Directions and Hours: This store is ONLY OPEN the first Thursday through Saturday of every month. The first day needs to fall before the Thursday of that week. (For example, if April started on Friday, the store wouldn't be open until the proceeding week. If April started on Monday, it would be open that week). The store is located BEHIND Simpson's Furniture on Main Street. It's a bit tricky to find, but you'll end up seeing a tiny sign on the property. Turn onto E 23rd street, and even when it turns into gravel, KEEP GOING. Go until the gravel "ends" then turn right. You'll quickly see Hatchlings and Hen's signage. The store itself is down the driveway. Long Version: This is a neat, home-run type of store. As far as I can tell, it seems to be a small shop in a workshop. The directions above will help you find it. The area feels like shopping a garage sale - but in a cute and fun type of way. No bathrooms or anything because of that. Hatchlings and Hens sells a variety of neat, repurposed and vintage-esque type of items. It looks like a lot of items were repainted or cleaned up in order to be sold, and the owner does a surprising job of finding fantastic sets. For example, there was a kitchen table with a matching 4 chairs available for purchase (only $175 for the set! I would have bought it if I needed a kitchen set). There were also other sets like matching bird decor or awesome wall art. There was some industrial-type of furniture and whatnot too - as well as industrial salvage that might help you out if you were looking to do some DIY for yourself. I didn't end up purchasing anything today, but I plan on coming back in the future. The owner was super friendly, and I really did fall in love with a coupe things that I can't quite think of a place for at the moment. I'm looking forward to seeing how the stock and everything changes from month-to-month.

A chaotic, but interesting, home decor store. If you're looking for *something* or want to…read moreredecorate an area and have a vague idea of what you want, HomeGoods is where you want to be. As the store only carries one or two copies of every individual item they have, you can never really be "sure" they're going to have what you have in mind. I'd never come here if I'm looking for a very specific and exact item. Instead, the fun of HomeGoods is that everything is so unique. Having one copy of everything frees of way more space to have way more variety. You can get faux plants, dinnerware and kitchen supplies, kid's decor, pet supplies, mugs and other drinkware, furniture, gigantic rugs, gourmet pre-packaged treats, pillows and blankets and other soft bedding, mirrors, wall art, and seasonal stuff. Prices aren't particularly cheap. I'd say they're decently mid-range for home decor stores like this unless you catch things on clearance. When they're clearancing out items, you can get some *really* nice deals. Because of the "one copy of items" thing, the store can regularly feel pretty cluttered - and you should make sure that your potential item isn't damaged or anything before purchase. Expect to spend a freakishly long amount of time in this moderately-sized store just because there's *so* much stuff to look at on every shelf. Items are organized by area/use, though, so if you're only looking for blankets, all blanket options will be in the same area (same with mugs, journals, etc.) Staff is generally decently friendly. Check-out can be a bit slow (mostly because of all of the breakable items) depending on what time of day you come.

It's full of fun gifts, home decor and funny unique items. I strongly recommend you visit the back room. Because who doesn't need a pot holder that says "I f#*%!ing love cheese!" They have several adult humor items in the back of the store and my husband and I had a good laugh. The front of the store has more tame and family friendly items. Lots of good gift ideas for a wedding, shower, graduation or just to get something for yourself or a friend. The woman attending the store was very personable and friendly. She offered gift wrapping for my items and had pleasant conversation without being pushy. The only reason for the 4 star instead of 5 is because it's so cluttered. There is stuff everywhere! They seem to have an organization to it but it's hard to shop. They're us stuff floor to ceiling crammed in there. It's hard to navigate through and if you were a bigger person or had to use a walker or a cane it would be even more difficult. But overall a neat store!

NWT Consignment, while it doesn't seem to have as many "new with tags" items as I expected, is…read morestill a good consignment store. I'm in love with their Facebook/Craigslist drop-off exchange service! You can find some pretty good deals here - but you'll probably have to be careful as some of their items seem more expensive than necessary. PROS: -Facebook/Craigslist item drop-off is pretty amazing. Selling something online? Come in here, drop off your item along with $1, and they'll hold the item and allow the other person to pick up the item at the other person's leisure (and they'll collect the money for you + $1 extra dollar from the second person for the service). No trying to arrange suitable times between two people. No meeting in front of random stores to "make the exchange". They'll do it for you, and they only charge $2 - which is split between the two people. -Friendly service. There was a woman that greeted us when we walked in, let us know to ask her if we had any questions. Another woman asked her for help, and she went around and showed the woman all of the shirts she knew of that fit her request. She wasn't pushy, but she was friendly and around to help - and she was happy to answer my questions too. -Nothing seemed to smell like smoke or have pet hair on it. The building itself has a bit of a musky smell to it, but you get used to it within minutes. -Good sales. When we came here, everything (outside of wedding dresses, designer purses, and such) was $10 each. This discounted a lot of the prices within the shop to see well-within reach for consignment items. -Large variety of items. There's jewelry here, everyday clothes, business clothes, men's/women's/children's clothes, wedding dresses, shoes/heels/boots, prom-type dresses, furniture, and some industrial-type building supplies in the back. There are designer and non-designer purses too. They also have men's suits and shoes. -They offer layaway. I imagine this is for their big-ticket items (like wedding dresses) and less-so for their $5 jewelry rack. CONS: -Regular, everyday prices do seem a bit high. $30 for a non-brand name dress at a consignment store is a bit intense - and that seemed to be a standard price for some of it. That being said, they do have regular sales - and it seems like the pricing really does seem to vary by item. I found $5 sweat pants that I thought about walking home with. You can find some good deals if you look around. -It doesn't seem like everything here is new/unworn. I'm not sure what the estimate would be, but especially with shoes, there's a whole lot of wearing on many of the treads. -Organization isn't great among some of the racks. There are different areas for Small/Medium/Large/XLarge/Plus, but pants/skirts/dresses/shirts seem to be mixed in along each rack. The plus-size rack seemed to vary sizes from 14 all the way up to 28, and all of those were all sorts of mixed up too.

I recently bought a gift only to find that the zipper had teeth missing. I called immediately and left a message. I received no response for four days.

When I asked why no one had called back the owner got very abusive. Buy at your own risk.
