For some reason, when I searched "Shadowbox" on Yelp, all that came up was "Shadow Box Paperie"…read more(reviews a couple years old) at an incorrect address with no website listing. So . . . let's correct that! This darling little store is inside Warehouse Row on the "main" level. It looks like a little jewel box and if you love paper like me, you need to stop by sometime. There are lots of cute little boxed notes from all the nice-stationery-place brands, list pads and calendars (lots that would make great little gifts for stockings, baby or wedding showers, just because or just for you!), and if you need custom invitations - engraved, printed, or letter press- there are books and books to peruse. For a tiny little store, they have an impressive selection of all these pretty papers!

And looking for something "special"? Proprietor, Mariah Shadow Mayfield is always available to assist with the offer of her first-class consultation services. Highly recommend. Repeat customer.

It is always a pleasure to visit Local Only Gifts & Goods! They keep this delightful shop of…read morelocally made goods and edibles fully stocked with new items available throughout the year. This visit, I discovered that they carried Divine Purity Incense and ventured to try Cocoa Amber. The Divine Purity brand lip balm has always been a favorite of mine so I knew the scent of the incense would most likely be top quality as well. The scent of the incense was perfect from start to finish. I liked the incense so much that I went back and bought several more scents to try. Can't wait to visit again and see what new items have arrived. Service: The staff are always upbeat and pleasant. They are knowledgeable about every item stocked in the shop and always glad to answer any questions you may have. Value: Prices a relative to most shops selling locally made goods. Though value is similar to other shops...I'm not sure you can beat the experience or people. Tip: To smell the scent of the incense so you find the perfect scents for you, simply tip the closed container upside down and sniff the bottom of the container where excess oils have gathered.

Most of the items are Chattanooga themed and make a great souvenir or gift. There is no dedicated parking that we could find but there is some street parking. Do not park in the Walgreens or you may get towed. There is also parking at the nearby park. The staff was friendly and the prices were what you'd expect. Overall, I love this idea and would rather support local artists than some multi million dollar corporation.

If you love stationery like I do, you will love this store. Besides stationery, this store has Miffy and Hello Kitty products, tea kettles and teacups, sake cups, chopsticks, ceramics and so much more! The sales associate Emilia was very helpful, knowledgeable and patient with us. She took her time and showed us the fountain pens and tested some out. My friend and I fell in love with the broad nib and Emilia shared what she had in stock. I picked the TWSBI Eco in rose gold nib and picked the Kobe Ink Shinkaichi Gold and my friend picked the TWSBI Eco in purple. They have a great selection of Travelers notebooks and had an olive color which I don't have so of course I got one. Emilia shared the travelers notebooks that just came in from Japan and my friend and I felt like we were kids in a candy store. We were in stationery heaven! We bought so much and there were items I have seen online that I was in the market for so of course I had to have it. Emilia also recommended highlighters and shared the blackwing colored pencils and sharpener with me. I really enjoyed the pen and pencils and trying them out. I tried out every pen they had and the blackwing pencil. If you have never used a blackwing pencil, you are missing out. It is one of the smoothest pencils I have ever written with. I prefer shopping in independent stores over the big box stores anyday. My friend and I were there for two hours and we even went back the next day since I forgot some items. Emilia was there again and helped me with the scissors and even measured it for me since I was flying home. If you are ever in the Chattanooga area, this store is a must visit!

We were able to find free two hour parking in Renaissance Park and took a short walk over to the store. They were even kind enough to allow our small dog to come inside and shop with us, which was especially appreciated since it had begun to rain outside. The staff were all friendly, helpful, and genuine in their passion for the items they had for sale in store. Some of the highlights for us of the many lovely and quality made items offered for sale were their stationery, beautiful artisan figurines, and the infamous Japanese KITKATS! They carry the most of the unique flavors we've seen to date. They also offer a small bag of various KitKat flavors to try if you didn't want to commit to a whole bag of one particular flavor. We're so happy we've found I Go Tokyo and look forward to another shopping visit!
