How would you feel if you were the only one in the store, while browsing for 20 minutes with purchases in hand, and never acknowledged by the manager/owner at the register? Another customer then walks in, but is welcomed, approached, and is told about the store, products, discounts and offers. Felt extremely mistreated as a first-time customer. Needless to say i returned my (would-be) purchases and walked out. Never again-- and as a long-time Lacey local will inform others not to waste time here.

I visited Opal and Olive last week and had my eye on a view things, actually many things!…read moreThe store has Christmas decorations, frames, vases, faux flowers, decorative tableware and more beautiful things. Since I'm not too good with arranging flowers in a vase, I either buy too few and have to go back to buy more and then they're gone, or, I buy too many and waste money. I brought my vase from home because I saw these big beautiful velvet poinsettia flowers trimmed in white. I showed the vase to the young lady in the store . She took the flowers which were in the window display in a Christmas tree, paired them with faux lamb's ear, tried other greenery, but the lamb's ears were perfect, cut them the right size and arranged them in the vase for me. She had other customers, was very pleasant, she helped them while I walked around and then completed my arrangement. The store has a great vibe and with service like that, this will be the first store I will visit for these types of things.

The ladies who volunteer at the shop are helpful and efficient with all your needs. There is another section which is right next to the shop that carries mostly religious statues in a variety of sizes to choose from. My family made multiple purchases here and are very happy with the quality. And the BEST part? All proceeds to meet the needs of the poor!

After reading some unfavorable reviews on TripAdvisor from 2025, I was a little worried about what…read morewe would encounter during our visit yesterday. As it turned out, the experience could not have been more positive! It's a beautiful and well-maintained property with ample parking. The alpaca stables (males in one, females in the other) were very clean, and the 26 alpacas are clearly loved and cared for. They were gorgeous, friendly, and healthy. The staff, mostly (if not all) volunteers, were lovely, from the young adult (late teens, early 20s) guides who accompanied us on the 20-minute walk with our assigned alpacas, to the senior ladies working in the gift shop. The gift shop has a wide range of lavender and alpaca wool products, as well as related themed products. I would up spending $36 on a variety of items, some of which were perfect, low-cost gifts. In response to the TripAdvisor complaints about items being "expensive," I found the prices to be reasonable and normal for homemade, hand-made, and locally sourced items, as well as for specialty items made elsewhere. I can't say enough positive things about the guides who accompanied my friend and I on the walk, and the young man who gave the entire group on our scheduled walk the preliminary background information about the alpacas and what we might expect on the walk. They did an excellent job and were very friendly and helpful. At the end of the walk they make time for pictures to be taken, and the animals seem to know the drill quite well because they obliged without a fuss on a very hot day. Overall I give this experience a 10 out of 10 and highly recommend it for all ages.
