She shared her vision for the Green Thistle Emporium and shared upcoming community events and classes with me. Green Thistle Emporium holds sections of goods from local vendors, refilleries for beauty/bath products and plants. I picked up a calathea plant, soap and a lip scrub. The prices range from inexpensive to affordable. Green Thistle Emporium is a wonderful addition to the Riverside Arts District community.

I also love the focus on sustainability--make sure to bring your own bags and jars for refills.

I've been coming here for a while but that's no longer going to be the case after my last encounter…read morewith the owner here. I handed him a stack of cards to look at for trade-in. After he looked at all the cards he was reluctant to give me a number. So I had to play the guessing game and just figure out what he was valuing it at. I had already done research on my cards so I knew what they were worth in my head. Well over $100. I asked him if he would trade for a $20 card and a $10 card. Making the value $30. I knew I was taking a loss but I didn't really Care, I figured I might as well trade cards I don't want for some cards I do want even if I'm taking a Loss in value. He said no way, It's impossible to get to that value, I'm valuing your cards at like $15. So I just laughed, Got on my phone and started getting screen shots of the values of all my cards So I can show him what I'm seeing. I finally get around to explaining to him the values of my cards with picture proof, And he says yeah but you're pulling that up on an app, Apps generate fake Sales too so it's not reliable. And then he said he goes off of eBay Instead. Funny thing is when you click on the links on the app it takes you to the eBay listing and it shows the price it was sold at. So I told him this is eBay, And by the way eBay is also an app. Then he just started arguing, And acting obnoxious. Saying he doesn't use apps, Blah blah blah. He also went on to say eBay is full of fake sales, but had just said he doesn't use apps, just eBay sales. I told him that everybody Uses these apps to determine the value of cards. He asked me who is everybody. I said other collectors, Other card shops. And he said are they running my business? And then he said when you order something on eBay can you get it in 30 seconds. And I said no. And he said exactly that's the benefit of retail is that you can get it in 30 seconds and not have to pay for Shipping and fees. I said OK well you're just making my point stronger than because that means people paid more than what you're saying my cards are worth not only on price, But they also paid fees and shipping. Got to the point where I just had to leave, When I got out to my car I realized I had forgotten my drink inside and went back in. When I went back in he said some smart comment to me, In front of another customer. Just more of his usual nonsense. This guy is an absolute clown, And to his question about if these other places and people are running your business, No they are not. And that's why they are bigger than you, And that's why they have more product than you when you have none. The only product you have Is what you buy at another retail store, because nobody is sending you anything. You're too small of a business. And it's probably because of how small your way of thinking is.

The class is about an hour long and includes a walk through of the plants, step-by-step instructions on how to build the terrarium, and an opportunity to personalize your little garden. Our instructor was very knowledgeable and friendly! He was patient with us and did a great job demoing each step. I love all the little figurines you can add and that the prices range based on what you want. Looking forward to my next class!

It was just lively enough -- there was a couple making a pretty large terrarium together and a handful of others who came in and out to buy a small plant or little knickknack, and this shop is bursting with both. You'll find all kinds of beautiful houseplants (will yours live in the sun or shade?), a variety of containers (terrariums!) in every size and shape, and endless decorative goodies to personalize your new plant-home with: crystals, pebbles, dried flowers and leaves, tiny toys and figurines, glitter and gemstones. For $25 you can choose a small plant, a small terrarium, and then have access to a specific assortment of decorative items. You can purchase any other knickknacks and doodads that speak to you, haha. They seriously have tiny figurine versions of everything... animals, superheroes, food items, zombies and aliens, cars, cartoon characters, seasonal stuff. I chose a little witch and tiny barn owl to add to my terrarium. It's the cutest thing ever! And the guy who sold it to me and walked me through the whole process was really cool and funny. He made everyone in the store feel comfortable and proud of what they were doing, haha, but he didn't hover! He was just a cool guy who seemed to like his job, which is really nice to see. I have so many ideas for more terrariums, both for both myself and as gifts!! I'll be back soon.

What really stood out to me was the people behind it. The father-and-son team curating the museum are incredibly genuine and welcoming. They're the kind of folks who take the time to talk with visitors, share stories about the cars, and make you feel like you're part of something special rather than just passing through. The collection itself is outstanding--beautiful vehicles, tons of nostalgic toys, and plenty of unique pieces that make you stop and look twice. There's clearly a lot of thought and care put into how everything is displayed. The most amazing part? It's free. In a world where everything costs something, they've chosen to open the doors to everyone simply because they love sharing it. That says a lot about their character. If you enjoy cars, history, or just meeting good people doing something the right way, you need to check this place out. Fort Worth is fortunate to have it.
