She wasn't very friendly and couldn't care less that I received a receipt that looks as though my account was charged. When sharing my concern she stated I wasn't charged and ended the conversation. This isn't a good representation of customer service and community. It was their error and a little kindness would have been nice. With this economy small businesses need all the support they can get. Kindness is the least they could give when they made an error and alarmed you that a charge was made on your card.

I was looking for a place close by to purchase some Charleston items for our corporate gift. I…read morestumbled upon Pluff Mud Mercantile while looking for Callie's Hot Biscuit items. They have a good selection of made in Charleston food items: hot sauce, jams, jellies, tea, salt, biscuit mix, cookies, honey, just to name a few. I found the prices to be very reasonable without the arduous drive through downtown to find street or paid for parking. They also have Charleston made tea towels, soaps, lotions, shirts, jewelry, and signage. I also found out they offer soap and candle classes in which you can make your own. I would recommend anyone looking for some great gifts for themselves or others, check this place out. While it may look tiny, they truly have amazing things here.

Her first store under the same name was located in Summerville on Trolly Rd which she later sold. (That new owner has since moved the location and kept the same name though they are not affiliated.) Trade A Book is a used bookstore where readers are able to bring in their books in exchange for store credit. There is a limit of 25 books per person per day that can be brought in. (Please don't be one of those that tries to sneak more in.) You May find new books on the shelves when someone trades them in but TAB does not order stock of new releases. What books should you expect to find? A little bit of everything. - general fiction - fantasy / sci fi - Upper YA - Lower YA - Children's books (grade school as well as picture books for the little kiddos) - Historical fiction - Classics - Romance (historical, contemporary, fantasy) - Mystery/ thriller - Horror - Religious / Christian - non fiction (this space is very small and limited) - Westerns - Local authors - and much more!! At this time operating hours are Thurs-Fri 11-4P. It is best to call the store ahead of time to confirm they are open as Beverley runs the store by herself and can take leave while she assists with family care. Beverly is one of the nicest store owners and is super knowledgeable about the books on her shelves. Readers are always welcome to request temporary holds if something comes in. There is a special charm to this place that you won't find anywhere else in the Charleston area. 10/10 recommend visiting yourself. There is a coffee shoonnex

I went here as part of a bachelorette party group and it was such a fun experience! I was…read moreoverwhelmed coming in seeing how many scent options there were to choose from, but it actually ended up being a way easier process picking scents than I expected! The employee helping our group was very friendly, and did a great job walking us through the process as well as helping people figure out if their scent combinations worked well or needed some other suggestions. The process started with deciding what you wanted to make, and then moving to the scent walls to pick out fragrances that you wanted to add to your product. I decided to make a candle and picked out the tobacco scent oil to mix with a couple beachy scent oils. Once you had picked your scents you put a few drops of each into a container and were able to confirm that you actually liked this combo and didn't want to switch any scents. And then from there, you kept adding scent oils and tweaking proportions until you had the amount needed for the product you were making. My candle was ready to pick up the next morning, and I am really happy with how it turned out! You can choose to pick up your product (if you don't make something that will immediately be ready to take home) or to have them ship it to you. Overall, this was a really fun experience with items you could make at a wide range of prices and great customer service. I highly recommend checking them out!

We made an appointment, but because it was a holiday, they weren't crowded. The lovely staff member was so friendly and helpful - she was an absolute delight! She explained the process, helped make suggestions on pairings/ratios to help the scent remain balanced, and had a great playlist going on top of it! We went through and smelled pretty much everything in the store and finally narrowed it down. Once instructed on how to mix the scents, she helped fill the diffuser and the refill bottle. The space itself is very cute, with plenty of options to choose from. It is probably $20-$50/per item, but the experience make it so fun. It won't be something I do every week, but it's definitely something everyone could enjoy. They highly recommend appointments, but can accommodate walk-ins if able.
