I think I heard them say Bobby, this chic actually yelled at me across the room to tell me don't try on any earrings you're not supposed to. She didn't say discreetly she didn't say it nicely, she repeated herself again to me when I reached the counter. I was in shock. I've never had anybody be so rude especially at a shop like this. I would never recommend anybody going there, especially if she's working.

What a wonderful and unique shopping experience! The staff was so personable (without being intimidating or intrusive) from the minute we walked in. It felt like we had been friends forever. Our four young boys were with us and they were treated like family too. The sweet sales person stooped down to eye level to my youngest (age 3) and gently took the time to explain to him 'why' he should not touch the guitar that was propped against the wall (not just admonishing him for touching it - good teachable moment done with love and respect). Then she followed that up by giving him (and the other kids) a coloring book! What a darling thing to do! The store was covered in unique artwork, jewelry, accessories and finds you don't see in other places. I enjoy a colorful whimsical aesthetic, it was like walking into HAPPY LAND! And oh! my! gosh! The baby & children's clothes are to die for! What a perfect place to come for a gift! We learned about some new womens athleisure & womens clothing items she has in the works. I will be absolutely be back to check them out. They do carry an extensive collection of Meileg dollhouse items. This makes me wish I was 5 again. Our little ones were in wonder (as I was) taking in the experience of the store, but were very careful to look and not disturb. I know it's so difficult to keep a boutique going in this day and age were people want to buy everything online, but what would we do if we didn't get to actually see and enjoy these treasures in person any more? What fun would life be then? I think it's important to visit your local businesses and help out where you can. We learned Iva Style is also a woman owned business, and I commend her for making it through Covid. Hopefully the rest of the Artisans Alley will soon come back to life. It does look like its had a few hits but WE all carry some economic power to help bring these fun places back to their former glory. Its a perfect place to go have a girls day (my husband enjoys too) without having to drive all the way to Boerne or Fredericksburg. They have a wine bar where you can get a charcuterie board some other shops that are truly gems, like a balloon specialty shop! Definitely check out The Alley on Bitters.

I would say that this just isn't the place for me, but I actually found some cute coasters for a friend's housewarming present and a pair of earrings for myself. By the time I got home, the earrings broke- I had to use krazy glue to get a gemstone back on, and then the first time I wore them, the post fell off the actual earring! It was children's quality jewelry with a grown-up $18 price tag. If I didn't live across the country, I would have gone back for a refund.

But I had to use the restroom and they told me they did not have one for customers. It's quite a large store so you could spend quite a long time in there looking for some gems. To not have a restroom for the public with such a large store is unacceptable. The manager told me they used to have one before Covid, but it never got fixed. Covid was four years ago, and I believe if the store, and any store like it, cares about their customers, would keep them comfortable so they could shop and spend their hard earned money there. But sadly, this was not Vera accessories in Huebner Oaks. It makes you wonder what else they're not being honorable about. Very sad. And unfortunate.

The shop manager, Lori, made our visit unforgettable. She was incredibly kind and took the time to show us the fountain pens as well as introduced us to all the wonderful products the shop offers.

If you're a stationery lover or even just curious about fountain pens/journals or the paper goods they have to offer, this is absolutely the place to visit.
