Yesterday we went to Platt Hill in Bloomingdale for a last-ditch effort to get two lilac bushes we…read morewere replacing. We walked in the outside area, and all plants were gone - put away. We could tell they were making way for Christmas Trees. Thinking we couldn't accomplish this, and getting ready to leave, all of a sudden, their employee Stephanie appeared. Without a hitch, she asked us what we needed. We then received extensive information on what was available. Not only was she educating us on varieties of lilac bushes, but she was also going to go into was already put away into storage for the spring to bring us what we asked for. Wow! Talk about going above and beyond. She actually brought out 4 bushes so we could choose wisely. We chose our two, and with Stephanie's advice purchased the fertilizer to go with it in planting. I checked out the hot house, and Platt Hill employees were all over the place preparing for Christmas. Everyone employee greeted me and kept working at the same time. I would say the store will be ready for Christmas in a couple of days. I believe they are having an open house this weekend. Thank you, Stephanie for such an uplift on an ordinary buying experience. Next step is buying the Christmas tree. Can't wait to feel the true spirit.

I can't get myself to go in the opposite direction from my main errand, even if the total distance covered ends up being longer. Needed parts, specifically garage door hinges. It's a huge Menards, with very large signs attached from the ceiling indicating which was what. We went to the same area where they sell garage door openers, hoping to find someone to help us. But nope, the hanging display had steel hinges. I was afraid that they would only sell them in complete sets, but they sold them individually . There wasn't a huge variety or brands, but the piece we wanted was there and for a low price (same as what Amazon was selling a hinge for). So we got a couple of different ones, a set of rollers in case the existing ones could be replaced. It wasn't too busy, but they had enough registers open so the wait was minimal (one person in front of us). Menards has the payment register all the way at the end of the shopping belt, so as soon as it's your turn, you are encouraged to move there so you can bag your own purchases while paying for it. it does mean that you can't verify the scanned price is what you think it is. We paid and were on our way...need to make sure that our 11% rebate forms are filled out and submitted.

I buy a lot of firewood. I always look for the kiln dried hardwood. However I cannot tell you how…read moremany bags of firewood turn out to be next to impossible to light and never burn fully. When I tried Lumberjacks, I went to their Lake in the Hills site and got a small amount of wood. No reason to spend money if the wood sucks. I have to say, that wood consistently burned hot was easy to light and burned to ash. I used their wood to burn off the crappy wood I had accumulated. I highly recommend them. Only Con: they only take checks or cash, at least at the LITH location. I would encourage Lumberjacks to invest in Square or Paypal and step into the 21st century.

Kenneth is a true gem. I came by on small business Saturday because I knew the store would be…read moregorgeous and I wanted to see if they had a baby's first Christmas ornament. Reader, he remembered us from a month ago--the only other time I've been in this store. I know he wasn't just saying that because he cooed over my baby and specifically remarked about the fact that she was awake this time instead of sleeping through the shopping trip (which was true). This is what makes shopping at local businesses so much fun; you get to established a rapport with someone who lives what they do, lives their neighbors, and wants to make sure that you enjoy shopping with them. Again as I came through I thought about how I wish I could hire an interior designer with Kenneth Ludwig on the shortlist. They didn't disappoint with their Christmas decor. They have lots of ornaments, all beautiful, and other holiday items. I REALLY love the stocking holders they have. They look like those old ceramic Christmas trees that lots of our grandmothers had, and it even lights up. I am almost certainly going to be returning before Christmas to pick up a couple. If you're in the neighborhood, I highly encourage a drop by.

I stopped by Kenneth Ludwig Chicago because I learned he sells CR Laine furniture and that is the brand I had my eye on. Upon arriving, Kenneth was welcoming and listened to what I wanted. He's so knowledgeable about furniture and design, not pushy at all, and patient. I've been in his store a few times and each experience was great. I did end up purchasing a settee from Kenneth and that was about 1.5 years ago. The buying process was simple. The small couch is still in great shape, easy to clean, and looks great in my house. It was on the pricier side of furniture, but I not a shocking price. I will consider going back to Kennth Ludwig Chicago when purchasing my next nice piece of furniture.

Laurie is a very competent project manager AND designer, for those reasons! She is a consummate professional.

Needless to say, over the winter some of our plants appear to have died. Upon looking thru our receipts, we noticed the majority of our dead plants came from Breezy Hill and we see they aren't covered by a warranty.

My husband selected 2 pairs of pants while we were shopping and they happen to be in the clearance…read moresection for around $10. Perfect! We go to check out and the pants were the only clearance item we had. They ring up full price, which no big deal, it happens. The associate studies the pants! Checking the DPCI to make sure it matches. Ok, that's fine. She then proceeds to call over a total of 3 people over a 5 minute period while they all study the tag. We say it's fine, if there is an issue we won't buy them. The manager comes and says no, we can't sell you these for the price the tag has on it, I will sell them to you for $24. Huh? So I can't pay what the price tag says? She says it's wrong. I informed her there is a shelf full of them with the same price and asked did the DPCI match? She didn't even know what a DPCI was... the associate confirms the match. She then says they have had a lot of theft by the associates (nothing to do with me) who tag things wrong for their friends. I laugh and say look at our cart and receipt, nothing was clearance but the pants and if that was my plan I would want something of real value! Not pants. She says she isn't accusing us. I check out and say it's ok, we will buy what we have. She walks away to check our story and after she sees there is a whole shelf of pants with the same price she pushes us to buy the pants. Offers us free Starbucks for the trouble. We decline. She keeps talking practically begging us to buy the pants. My husband buys 1 pair because we are simply ready to leave at this point and she lets it be. I don't think it's appropriate to make a staffing issue with theft, the customers issue. Especially when it's something as cheap as pants. I would think they would do multiple items and items of value! If Target has this issue, they should track and manage it internally, not harass/ slightly accuse the customers.

This location has gone down hill with store cleanliness, products, and service within the last few…read moreyears. If you notice the vehicles in the parking lot you'll see the customer base they now need to serve. What was once a bright, clean, orderly store with exciting products is now disheveled with products heaped in carts, pallets on the floor with worthless products like it's a warehouse (who wants a 1 oz container of cotton candy for $3.00 and display it on a pallet like it's a great display? This store is always out of popular items as they try and force you into purchasing other products. Like, who wants Target brand food? There's a reason why the stock is down $50.00 for the year or 38%. Corporate decision makers are asleep at the wheel, buyers are not paying attention to product selection, and local management for this store are just bodies with no added value or skill. The average spend of a Target customer is $49.00 per visit and an average of just 21 visits per year. Thats just barely over the $1,000.00 so it becomes obvious as to why the product selection has fallen off a cliff. This location reminds of K-Mart before their demise.
