As we got close to the SC state line, we called to see if it was open and Melissa offered to keep the shop open a little longer for us! We enjoyed talking with her, and found a few gifts for family. If you're passing through or near, it's a fun stop.

I have visited a couple of times and witnessed Melissa working with her customers and neighbors - "Her people" as I refer to them. She shows genuine interest in knowing each and every person who walks through the door or visits online. I have received notes from her when she has found items she knows I will find interesting and I have seen her do this for others, too. She has so much passion for her work. She finds the most unique pieces that reflect her style, but truly they are a reflection of her customers, too. She's just waiting to introduce you to your pearl. Worth the trip to historic Bennettsville just to sit and chat with Melissa for a few minutes after shopping in The Oyster. Her passion and positive attitude are infectious and you are sure to leave with a smile on your face along with new-to-you treasures in hand.

The behavior was unwelcoming and discourteous. So, we left without buying anything. Basic psychology. This shop does, however, sell some adorable llama earrings that will be very popular upon their anticipated relocation to Peru!
