Jess makes adorable bags, headbands, and all sorts of crafty items and fun prints. From what I can tell Jess is looking to expand into cooking as well (her website has a food section, with recipes) but her booth at the market is all about purses and headbands, and that suits me just fine. Now, if you are a handy sewer you might not think the headbands are anything to sniff at, so to speak, but for the rest of us, these are a great find. They are unique, and with the hot humid Richmond summer coming up quick, they are well worth the $8 investment. She also does wallets, dishtowels, credit card holders, even adorable little notecards made out of paint swatches from the local hardware store... If you like unique items, you should definitely check Jessmade out...

I recently bought a jessmade handbag for a friend of mine. Jessmade is also occasionally at the…read moreBryan Park Farmers' Market. Jess is super friendly and she had lots of cool stuff to choose from. Headbands, wallets and the oversized black and white bag my friend just loved. It even had a few pockets on the inside, something I find impressive when it comes to a handmade purse. Plus it was about $50. Not a bad price at all for a quality, locally made work of art. As I was deliberating on what to buy, Jess told me if my friend didn't like what I picked, she could switch it for something else. This is a nice philosophy for a local business. I'll definitely shop Jessmade's booth and/or web site again, and hopefully will get something for myself this time!

It Looks Good On You is a brand new store in the Chesterfield mall, owned and operated by Bill and…read morePam Rogers... and it's adorable. If I had to compare it to anything, it'd be the Claires for adults... anyone who likes to buy trendy jewelry or get a little something with some bling will love this store. The store is organized by color, and you can find necklaces, earrings, handbags, hats, and basically anything else with sparkle. For all the shoe lovers out there, I saw a collect of bedazzled little shoes, and some breast cancer awareness items as well. But what I ended up buying was a new purse. I've been looking for one for a while, something trendy not trashy, decent quality yet not ridiculously expensive... And that is just what I found... a gorgeous green faux leather bag, super soft, just the right size (not ridiculously large nor too small) and for... get this... $30! I couldn't believe it. But a lot of the other bags were similarly priced, making this my new favorite location. So there you have it. New, fresh, trendy, and for adults, this place is worth checking into.

The energy is so wholesome and welcoming, and the owner is super sweet and does a great job curating the shop's offerings. I found myself in need of last-minute Christmas presents this past weekend, so I popped in. As I was about to check out, in a moment of pure embarrassment, a residual hacking fit from the plague I acquired around Thanksgiving started and of course I didn't have water with me. She referred me to cans of seltzer she had on the back table, which calmed it immediately. Thank you again so much. I repaid her by spending over $100 on goods haha. I really love her shop and I hope it continues to thrive for many years to come!

This shop is beautifully appointed and a delight to shop in, plus it's small, so you can find your treasures in a hurry. There's a plant section and a jewelry section, not to mention some lovely scented soaps and lotions. The novel gift ideas are overflowing in this sweet gift shop and I spied some other gems that I can't wait to go back and add to my stash!

I chuckled at the ridiculously high mark up on their items. The "cocktail mixology jars" cracked me up! Some sugar cubes, a cinnamon stick and a couple pieces of dried fruit in a jar for $25! Do they come with your very own personal bartender? I guess the people who buy these things are the same folks who bought "pet rocks and mood rings in the '70's" as my Yelp pal Jim C. mused. They also had a glass dome of colored matchsticks for $28! You do realize these are wooden sticks you throw away? If you need an aesthetically pleasing way to display your matches, then by all means, spend your hard earned money at this frivolous store. I did see a set of three Chinese paper lanterns that caught my eye... they were originally $40! Similar items with the same design and sizes sell on-line and at Party City for $8-10. Even on sale at $20, they are overpriced. Look, I have no problem paying good money for cool, unique, quality gifts or jewelry... I LOVE to shop... but much of the inventory here makes a laughing"stock", well, of their stock! If you're strapped for c"ash", this extravagant shop isn't worth a glance. Ditch the preposterous vendors and stick to the classic, useful pieces like your jewelry, purses, bar ware and soaps, and be thoughtful about pricing. It just goes to show you, all that shimmers isn't "gild". Although perhaps "gilty" of price gouging, if you're a spendthrift, you've found your "gilty" pleasure.
