I loved their selection of South Carolina hats, artworks, household items, clothing, etc. Also, as a philatelist, (one who loves mail) this is one of the few places in Columbia to buy postcards (and they're affordable as well!) They also had a lot of cool Carolina and Clemson merchandise, as well as items that highlight the history of the state of South Carolina. All-in-all, it was a great store, and my only complaint is that it's not its own standalone location! Would highly recommend!

Cotton Mill Exchange is often thought of as the gift shop located within the South Carolina State…read moreMuseum. However, it's really more than that. It doesn't just handle museum related items and souvenirs. Its inventory is related to everything of the entire State of South Carolina. As they state, they've "...explored every corner of the state to bring you the best of South Carolina," and from what I've seen they have done that and then some. It's a really big store and has most everything one can think of that would be South Carolina related and most of the goods are of superior quality, not just cheap Chinese built trinkets. But the best part is the selection. They have everything from jewelry to clothing to home decorator items and the staff is more than willing to assist. It's really one of the better shops I've seen within or a part of any public museum.

The Warehouse is a hidden gem, as you don't really know what it is from the outside. Luckily, my…read morefriend and I were in an adventurous spirit as we walked past it on our way to a coffee shop and decided to stop in. It can be best described as a "co-shop" space... there are a few different shops offering a variety of ideas from vinyls, art pieces, apparel, to herbs/wellness. Not only do they sell items but they tend to have workshops on Fridays, and Saturdays that vary from sewing, journal making, herbal mock tails and more. (You can find what's going on through their Instagram). We loved Errapel located here as we were able to pick herbs out that would help with certain wellness issues like anxiety, insomnia, concentration and more. The owner of Errapel took her time to explain them to us, guide us and was a delight just speaking to her. I would say it's worth stopping by and seeing if any of the events or shops interest you.

Everything is real wood. Beautiful crafted, the right colors, the right styles. It is just perfection. The prices are reasonable and they do offer delivery for a flat rate fee in the local area. I feel in love with all the decorations, pillows and other house decorating items. I really like the wide selection of everything they had to offer. Benches, tables, kitchen sets. Really intuitively designed furniture with all the bells and whistles, extra storage space, etc. They had velvet dining room chairs that were just lust-able they were so beautiful. No matter what style your home is decorated in, you will find something here that is a good fit for what you are looking for. If you want local, high quality, beautifully crafted pieces of art. Look no further than Copper Barn Furniture.

They carry everything from ottomans to ocelots (stuffed, of course), with an emphasis on Asian, African, and clean contemporary designs. The winding showrooms are filled to the brim with all kinds of treasures. Yes, you will pay through the nose for their lighting and furniture, but the occasional bargain can still be found. There really is something for everyone here, and the best part is that they feature handmade goods and local artwork alongside ultramod Scandinavian desk lamps and the like. My only beef is that the service can be snotty and careless unless you're spending $2000 on a loveseat. Great storefront parking.

They looked at us and pretty much rolled their eyes and made their way past us to another couple that looked like they had more money than we did (too bad looks can be deceiving).

There were a few things that I really liked, but with treatment like that I'll be more than happy to buy direct from the artist or spend my money somewhere else.

The store offers a plethora of organic plants and gardening tools and resources. The work of local artisans is among the featured products sold in the store.

Open seven days a week, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., these stores also offer an array of premier, robust live Christmas trees during the bustling holiday season. If you haven't been to these stores, they are worth a visit in support of the numerous, diverse local businesses in the vibrant gardening community in the Midlands and surrounding areas.
