I really liked the items in the store and nearly just bought two $45 candles. However, my nine…read moreyear-old niece went to sit on a leather sofa ( a cheap one that would be in a doctors office ) and got yelled at by a blue haired male staff member for sitting on the seat quietly. Based on the other reviews, I've seen clearly this is an issue in the store with staff attitude. I definitely will not be returning. And before I get a response that there was a rope across blocking the seat, there was but it was not visible as it was pushed all the way down and under the blankets. They moved it back up after. Either way there was no need for the attitude. She wasn't on the blankets or touching anything.

The store itself is inviting…read morewhere just the window display is enough to draw you in upon seeing the plants for sale and the unique ceramic pots + planters. I like the unique selection of goods from bath care to bento lunchboxes. Each plant is labeled and has insight on how to care for it which is helpful for folks that aren't sure about the level of commitment that plant would need. The owner is friendly, asked us where we were visiting from and got to talking about places of travel which was nice.

Ok, I just have to tell you about this little Halloween shop I stumbled into while in Salem,Mass…read more It's seriously so adorable! They have cool stuff including cute clothes/bags/hats w/ fun prints,greeting cards that make you laugh,& even books! The vibe is full of Halloween fun! The staff are super nice & they act like they actually want to be there, which makes the experience even better. I ended up leaving w/ way more than I planned but honestly it's impossible not to. The prices weren't too bad which made it even harder not to buy something.If you're a fan of all things cute and Halloween-y this place is def the place for you!

The selection is incredible everything from adorable plushies to cutesy socks, unique gifts, & even seasonal treats. I was especially impressed by the variety. There's truly something for everyone! The prices are fair which is perfect b/c you will not leave out of here w/o purchasing something. I picked up a box of Olde Boston saltwater taffy (based out of Boston,Ma. Of course)for my nephew. He said it was the best salt water taffy he ever had. The staff was friendly,helpful,& very knowledgeable on their merch and where everything was located. If you're a fan of Halloween, novelty items, or just love discovering unique gifts, this shop is a must visit in Salem. It's charming, festive,& full of little treasures that make every visit memorable!

This is a super cute shop. I was looking specifically for a coffee mug and magnets. Surprisingly,…read morethere are quite a few shops that I popped in to with neither or some things that were a bit too kitschy for what I was wanting. Prices are a little expensive for what I am used to, but I like that they're a small business and locally owned. I feel like the quality does reflect the price so I am happy to spend a little more in the case. Very cute place to browse and I did get my cute coffee mug and magnets.

Another great experience with Waters and Brown! I was there on a Saturday, they are extremely…read morecautious with COVID-19 concerns, and only allowed 2 people in the store at a time.

I wouldn't trust any other store to come close to their service.

Yes, you'll pay more for their paint than you would at say, Home Depot but it is so worth it…read more Don't believe me? Then try it for yourself! Go to Home Depot and show the guy behing the paint counter a swatch of your granite countertop and ask him what color he would recommend considering you have cherry cabinetry. Then, when he's done laughing at you, go to Waters & Brown and show your granite swatch to Sam and Lauren (I think her name is.) That's what I did and they immediately both thought of the same color, Quahog. So much darker than I ever wanted to go but wow, just the right color. Then Sam suggested Oxygen (a pale blue) for the ceiling and a color called America's Cup for the trim. The America's Cup (an off white) threw my husband into fits of worry. Will it be too yellow? Will it look dirty and dingy? Sam, promised it wouldn't and explained why . . . and he was right. So right, that my husband went back and asked him what color we should paint the adjoining hall, Sam made a recommendation and my husband walked out with that color paint. This is the same husband who would gladly spend months deliberating every decision, no matter how minute!!! So it is no exaggeration when I say that Sam may have single-handedly saved my marriage, or perhaps my husband's life because I was ready to either kill or divorce him. So as we decorate our entire home over, all I can say is thank God for Waters and Brown, and thank God for Sam!!!!

It's in a small space but every inch is covered in coolness. I called to see if they had a philodendron. They said they would text me when they had some in. I can't think of many local businesses who would call or text someone back when something was in stock. The owners are very knowledgeable. I have a tendency to kill plants and they gave me useful advice for the welfare of the plant. It was a bit large and the owner (Eric I believe?) carried it to my car. Seriously what a class act. Shop small and don't overlook this little gem of a shop!

I don't think I've ever found the perfect shade of red and perfect smell for the gossip looks. I want until now. If I had more time (and budget), I would've looked at the jewelry and hair accessories. I will say that the prices were very high. I know that when it comes to Gothic culture and aesthetics, it's bound to cost a lot. I have my own thoughts about that as a whole and capitalism but now it's not really the time for that. I do acknowledge that a lot of the items in the store are from smaller businesses or meticulously made which is why I don't really have an issue with the prices. Just something to take a note of before you come here. Just to give an estimate, I bought five items (none bigger than the palm of my hand) and the total was close to $200. Overall, the people were amazing and I loved the atmosphere. I would love to return here and resupply myself with a lot more items.
