Can't say ownership likes it as they're neutral at best. My oldest picked a toy for her new baby sister. Quality is usually very good, but I did get a sticker book once that does not stick at all.

We just bought a house (yaaaay!)...and so the epic decorating battles have begun between my husband…read moreand I. The house is very 70's (think "Brady Bunch" house), so I want to go with a Barbarella vibe (if you have no idea who/what Barbarella is - friends off!). My husband, who has fully embraced my Asian heritage, wants to go full on "Farewell My Concubine". As you can imagine, this house is going to be a schizophrenic hot tranny mess. I can't wait! In one of our attempts to try to mesh our divergent and eclectic visions, we decided to take a look at some Turkish/Moroccan chandeliers for our dining room...and I remembered this adorable store in Tacoma Park. The Covered Market is a Turkish lighting *dream*. I have no idea what any of these things are called, but it was like a rainbow glass mosaic of *awesome*. In addition, the sales lady (manager? owner?) was so incredibly sweet and nice as we plagued her with 50000000 questions about colors, sizes and ridiculous needs (these mosaic balls, with that ring, but of that length, etc etc etc). Heh. And the prices weren't that bad. Yes, the chandelier we ultimately decided upon will be $500+, but we were pretty insane in what we asked for...so I'm quite sure we're the exception...not the rule. Super cute and I can't wait to figure out where to put the other hanging light that I spied. Shhhhhh...don't tell my husband...he doesn't know yet. Heh.

The owner is super sweet so you can call and she'll usually be able to open up, but there have been a few missed opportunities where we were walking by and would have popped in but they were closed. The shop has a large variety, but it is highly disorganized, you will need help if you're looking for something specific. It is packed to the brim, almost claustrophobic to me. Very hard to manage if you have a tiny kid who wants to touch everything.

This is a great beauty supply store in DC, right below the DC/Maryland line in upper NW. I was…read moreable to find everything that I wanted, and I received help that I needed in order to find the exact items that I was looking for today. I would definitely recommend going to the beauty supply store. It was well stocked as well. I didn't have a chance to look around because I had gotten there a few minutes before closing, but I did not feel rushed at all. For safety. You can call to be let in the store, but that is completely fine because I love safety and there are a lot of things going on right now. The owner, a very kind woman, immediately came to the door as I called. I was let in the store immediately and was given time to find what I needed. I will definitely be visiting again and will tell everyone I know about this beauty supply store. I love going places where I am treated well, and the staff/owner is kind along with a place where I am able to find the items that I need. It was a win-win.

I should bring the garments as well, since they keep the buttons behind the counter and I have old lady eyes so it was a little tricky to explain what I wanted from a bit of a distance but I did manage.
