As there are MANY candles and home decor goods, I proceed to open a jar at the register to explore the scent when she abruptly and rudely said "Don't open that! It's honey! The candles are over there!" Go figure. I doubt I'm the last adult person to mistake a jar for this, given the store merchandise ALL around (you don't see foodstuff, you see pillows, tchotkes and candles, not jars of honey that could be spilled). Needless to say I left thereafter and wished her good luck with business. Treat your customers with better service and respect. She was rude. I won't be shopping there, nor recommending other locals to shop there either. Inventory and decor style still the same from its inception years ago. Curious to see how long they remain in business.

They make all their designed there and are solely owned by the artist. This isn't your boring chachki store, but somewhere you can actually buy quality made goods. They had everything from clothing, candles, Taylor swift items, jewelry and so much more. The place was clean, the family that owns it is super sweet and can answer any questions.

The store was extremely clean and it's definitely a place that I would get someone a gift that's different than anything online. You can tell that the items are newer, nothing seems to sit on the shelves so I'm happy to see family owned business flourishing! I love giving back to my community and buying local.

She said something that didn't make sense about it and I didn't think to check what she actually sold me until I was home. I was quite dismayed and shocked when I saw that she traded the beautiful item I selected for one of lesser quality. It was quite deceptive and I still can't believe she had the gall to do such a thing to an unsuspecting, paying customer. I will not trust that woman again. Buyer beware.
