The event included food trucks and a variety of vendors. My friend and I grabbed some BBQ from S&J Catering and it was delicious. We also grabbed donuts from Klassic Donuts and Glazed & Infuzed as well, which were very tasty. As we walked through the different shops, I absolutely loved all the fresh local, produce that was available. One of the shops offered a variety of jarred items and sauces so I purchased Crab Salsa and Spicy Pickled Okra. Both were very good and I definitely need to go back and get more! I absolute love supporting local businesses and I will definitely be returning very soon! Everyone was very nice and I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

I've visited this place several times and regularly shop at a few of the stores here. Every time…read moreI've made a purchase, the cashiers have been very clear about the return policy -- items must be returned within 2 days, and anything marked final sale cannot be returned. I appreciate that they consistently explain the policy so customers know the rules upfront. This past weekend, I went shopping with my mom on Saturday. On Sunday she asked me to return a pair of earrings because the closure wasn't secure. I went back to the store with the item and the receipt about 15 minutes before closing. When I brought the item to the counter, the interaction started with some not-so-inviting remarks. I asked the associate helping me if there was an issue returning jewelry, and she said there wasn't but that she needed to check the receipt because of the strict policy. Before she even looked at my receipt, another employee with reddish hair stepped in and said they had to be careful because people "try to get over all the time." At that point, my receipt still hadn't even been reviewed. I firmly explained that my mom had asked me at the last minute to return the item and that I really didn't want to come back out, but because of their policy she wanted to make sure it was returned within the timeframe. The other employee responded sarcastically, saying, "Well, your mom is right." The associate who was originally helping me then completed the return without any issue. Afterward, I quickly checked out at one shop and headed out since the stores were closing. As I walked toward the door, I could hear the same employee loudly expressing her frustrations, and when she noticed me she immediately stopped and turned away. I completely understand why a business like this needs to have a strict return policy, and I respect that. However, the commentary and assumptions made during the process were unnecessary. A simple, professional interaction would have made the experience much more pleasant.

Painted Tree Boutique is, by far, one of the coolest shops I've been to in VB. While I was out…read moreshopping for my daughter's birthday, I saw a few people walking into the store and was very curious to see if I could find a cute gift for her inside. I was blown away with what I had walked in to, I'd like to think of it as an upscale flea market. The store included specialized gifts, decor, jewelry, clothes, home goods, paintings, record albums, snacks, candles, plants, art...all under one roof. You name it, they have it. After walking around for over an hour looking at each vendor, I decided to buy my daughter a pair of socks (they have an abundance of awesome socks) and fun snacks. As I was checking out, the lady shared that they currently have over 270 vendors within the store and that they change often. There was also a "Ladies Night" event that week which included amazing sales, live music and gift card giveaways! All of the prices were fairly decent as well. If you are looking for a gift for someone or just want to buy something for yourself, Painted Tree is definitely the place to go!!!

The aisles are kind of tight because there's so much stuff. They have bracelets, crystals, incense, figurines and statues, evil eye decor, and so much more. There are low and high price points in here. So I'm sure it's something for everyone! The lady at the counter was very nice. There's a man walking around trying to look busy, but it's obvious he's making sure no one is stealing. I think they're the owners. Normally I'd be a little offended, but it's a lot of people in there and a lot of stuff. So I'm sure there's a reason behind it. This is a nice store and if you're interested in this kind of stuff, I definitely recommend stopping by!!

There are swords, kimonos, kendo sticks, pocketknives, statues, incense, pendants with actual creepy-crawlies inside, etc. Lots of spirituality-related materials. Plenty of animal-themed stuff as well. I have found a few things here that I really like. Be careful on some of the very narrow aisles as there are a lot of breakable things, so don't swing your purse or heavy coats around. Or flail your arms wildly like I do for no apparent reason. You'll certainly be paying for something. Otherwise, It's a neat place for some cool finds. Scorpion necklace and wolf dreamcatcher to name a couple.

From my initial visit to Ayshe's design studio I was welcomed with such warmth and hospitality. The project that I needed was for my son's upcoming wedding in June. Ayshe was kind, knowledgeable, and navigated my focus to create a polished image during consultation. The effort, time and heartfelt intention to her craft was something that I've not found anywhere in the Va Beach area. The result of the product was stunning. I returned again a few weeks later with a new project for the wedding ... when the materials that I brought in were too cheap from Amazon Ayshe offered a solution. And she had the projects completed In plenty of time before my deadline.Her professionalism and time management removed the stress I would have otherwise had; it was apparent she knows her work. Ayshe's craft is flawless. My son is married now and I'm SO HAPPY I went to Ayshe! Certainly will be returning when I have another embroidery piece. She's more than a business , she is about community and creativity.
