I was helping set up a bridal shower at the Bon Bonerie and decided the table needed some flowers…read more I asked the waitress if there was a flower shop nearby and she directed me to Buttelwerths. I walked over and discovered that it's not a flower shop with premade arrangements but a florist. The proprietor greeted me and asked if he could be of assistance but seemed preoccupied. He informed me that he was about to leave for a large funeral and could not make any arrangements for me but could sell me loose flowers. However, once I chose some pretty daisies, he picked out a nice contrasting flower, washed a couple of small vases, and spent the next ten minutes cutting and arranging the prettiest little bouquets. While he worked he told the funeral was for his friend's eighteen year old son, who died in his sleep. This man obviously takes a lot of pride in his work, and was so generous to take time out if his stressful and personally difficult day to help me on such short notice. The next time you need flowers, please consider Buttelwerth flowers on Madison road in O'Bryonville.

"The name on the door should be surrounded with a pair of quotation marks."…read more I made my first visit to "Hemptations" this past Four-Twenty. I was hoping to find a few gems for my "A Little TOO Happy Hour". Where else are you going to go on "Stoner Christmas"? The thought was that this place would be a lot more "Grateful Dead/Phish Hippy-Dippy", but I quickly learned that hemp is a little more "Touch of Grey". That is to say: "boOoOoring". Hemp paper, hemp shirts, hemp necklaces are all totally there, but none have committed to any sort of discernible style. And they're all a little pricey. Compared to cotton, I'm somewhat sure that hemp is no more ecological, but I am absolutely certain that it is no more economical. I did come across some incense that was usable for my purposes, but clothing, stickers, and decorations: let's just say you'd be better off at Spencer's or a Walmart, as they were completely devoid of Grateful Dead Bears, tie-dye, Jimi Hendrix posters, and Rastafarian Lions. "Signs, signs, everywhere a sign": Upstairs and in the back is the super secret special "paraphernalia" room, er, I mean, "the pipes". There is an extra veil of security to this space. A bead curtain entry. Signage about how an employee must accompany you. More signs about using the proper terminology. Signs about asking the employees if you don't know the proper terminology. I think somewhere behind all the signs they were actually selling bongs and hookahs, er, water pipes? All that and "no long haired freaky people" whatsoever. Kind of the opposite of what you'd expect from a place like called "Hemptations".

Hemptations is a cute little smoker's haven and hemp lover's store located in the posh O'Bryonville…read moreshopping district. They carry the usuals that you would find in a smoke store plus some other extras. The front of the store is filled with all hemp products. There are hemp clothing, hats, notebooks with hemp paper, socks, shoes, and lots of little knick knacks. Then in the back you will find the glass pipe collection. Their collection of these items is pretty small but they did have some nice glass hookahs that looked pretty. I bought a hemp catnip cat toy here the other day (of which they have plenty) to bring home to the kitties. I hadn't even remembered it was in my purse until I caught the little one sneaking it out of my purse. A few minutes later she had ripped the stitching off and had licked the thing clean. So the stitching isn't strongly made, but I can guarantee you're cats will go crazy. They also sell full bags of catnip for the real addicts you may have at home. :)

Sally is the most stylish person you'll ever meet and she has an uncanny ability to become one with her customers sense of style. She brings a lifetime of design talents coupled with a cadre of supporting consultants, artists, painters, construction experts, and an in-depth knowledge of product types and trends We first used Sally in 2003 when we bought a new house and it needed some finishing touches. Sally interviewed us, assessed our needs, and then brought over to our house all manners of wallhangings, lamps, shades, valance material, and accessories. In 2014 we undertook a complete renovation. We wanted a couch that we had seen at the Waldorf in Rome a few years past. We described it to Sally and she called the hotel in Rome, then visited the local material library and brought everything together. The couch was perfect. We were also influenced by the beautiful marble bathrooms that we experienced while in Europe. Sally put us in touch with a bathroom architect that had done projects in such prestigious locations as the Venetian in Las Vegas. Our bathroom is the crowning achievement of the project, and was such a stunning piece of work that the contractor placed a photograph of it on the cover of his marketing brochure. If it's one lamp or a whole house re-decoration, Sally will be your partner. She never disappoints and is dogged in her pursuit of perfection. Through her business, she makes friends and builds relationships. You will look forward to the end of your project, but you will also know that you will miss her when it's done.

We have wanted to redo our great room for awhile and the timing was finally right. I stopped in…read moreHoffman and Albers briefly one evening and spoke with a designer, Heidi. She was very pleasant and seem knowledgeable. I contacted her through email for a consultation a few days later. I heard nothing for 6 days and sent another email to her and to the main email for Hoffman and Albers. Heidi responded that she never received my email, but we could schedule something for the current week. I responded with a day and told her I could get more specific about the time. I sent another email the following day with a specific time, asking if that would work out. Again, I heard nothing back. I finally sent an email that this wasn't going to work and received a response to that. Without going into detail, it was not the most professional response. I am surprised that in an industry where communication and customer relations are vital, Hoffman and Albers failed miserably. That should be a red flag for anyone seeking design services. I came willingly with checkbook open, and couldn't even get a consultation scheduled.

She offered to take my name and let me know when they have my size. The prices were about what I expected, somewhere between boutique prices and gift shop prices. They had clothes, shoes, gifts, incense and many other items. I am sure I will stop back in and look again.
