THIS is what I'm looking for in a local gift shop! In a world where so many makers seem to be…read moremaking projects they found on Pinterest, Center Street Mercantile is full of original goods carefully crafted. First of all, location: Center Street Mercantile is not on Center Street anymore - it's on Block Street in the same shopping center as Little Bread and Dark Star. It's a welcome change, much easier to get to with a better parking situation. parking nearby is paid during weekdays, but it's free nights and evenings. There are coin meters and you can get more than an hour of time with $0.25. Second, the goods: Nice variety here of party food, decorative bowls, jewelry, local carvings... Good hodgepodge of things. You'll pay more here than at a big-box store but the goods are fairly priced. They also have a farm fresh eggs sometimes! Third, the candles: Yes, the candles get their own category. The owner of the store has a collection of candles he has made that are scented like different hot spots in Northwest Arkansas - Majestic Lounge, Common Grounds (RIP), Thorncrown Chapel, the ballpark... and they really capture the scent of each of these places! I would buy the entire collection if I had the money, but I do have four of them. Fourth, the owner: SUPER nice! He's always been super friendly when I am in the store but he doesn't look over your shoulder while you're shopping. He's really knowledgeable about everything in the shop. The store is generally open Tuesday through Saturday, but I was super thrilled it was open on a Sunday for the Christmas season and I definitely spent my money there today. I'm really happy to support this local business.

But unfortunately the staff is not, a few of the staff members were friendly but somewhat condescending. This one lady was shadowing us from the moment we walked in. Every turn she was behind us, we would go into a different area and she was a few booths down. We were in the back room and she was just strolling around doing nothing but being a bother. We were trying to enjoy our time looking around your lovely store but if you think so low of people, then just close your doors. We were going to purchase antiques until we realized the staff doesn't trust the public enough to enjoy their store. Guess if your not local enough your not welcomed here or looked at as a thief.

They also have naturally-made bowls, vases, and other crafts that were made from wood and marble. This store is connected to the actual Blue Spring in Eureka Springs, which is a Native American healing place. The reason I ranked this store a 4/5 instead of a 5/5 is because I think it could use more variety in their inventory, but I still do like this store.

The two workers behind the counter were masked, which I appreciate during the pandemic. Like someone else mentioned, they seemed a bit too busy with themselves to really help us or show us anything in the store, even though we were the only customers. One never even lifted her head up to acknowledge us. There's a big snow storm about to blow in, and I was going to pick up some knitting supplies. I'm a newb and wasn't sure what to get, and the workers seemed too preoccupied to help. I did happen to find a candle I love.
