Think Joanna Gaines, Fixer Upper, style of items. We have a found several items here that we used to decorate our Wilmington home. The owner is very friendly and helpful.

After you go through the door, then you'll see the Coastal Farmhouse Decor at the end. It's a small store but they had a lot of cute decor, ranging from signs, pillows, vases, mugs, wreaths. Currently there are some Christmas themed decor. The owner plans on ordering more items in January or February. Mostly everything seemed reasonably priced. If you're looking for farm-style home decor, this is a good place to check out.

Planet is a store full of odds and ends that scream hip, dirty fashion and Durham...I mean Wilmington (just reminds me of a Durham, NC/Boulder, CO crowd). If you are in the mood for original t-shirts, summer dresses, raunchy bumper stickers, gem jewelry, fake aviator shades or a bench NOT made for sitting. I've been attracted into Planet on almost every visit to Wilmington and haven't been disappointed. It's cute, a quick stop, and if you're looking to but something, there's so much variety, it's hard not to see something that catches your eye. They even had a very small selection of items on sale (under $10). Planet is a great stop if you're downtown and wondering around.

The Cotton Exchange has its own parking lot, and stores in the Exchange validate parking. The small business is women-owned and filled with so many treasures. There is a great selection of cards, notecards, stationery, postcards, journals and pens. But they also carry specialty art paints. The shop has a very warm, cozy, and inviting atmosphere with items beautifully displayed. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, allowing you to browse at your leisure, which I liked, as I am never sure what I will be drawn to and like to let items find me. Whether you are looking for a unique gift, fine stationery, or high-quality art paints, this shop is an absolute gem in downtown Wilmington!

They also had a number of fountain pens to choose from, though I was not in the market so skipped over them. This alone is enough to make this a regular stop for me on my visits to Wilmington. On the downside, I spent a good 20 minutes browsing in the store AND made a purchase and the clerk never really engaged me other than seeming to keep an eye out that I was not shoplifting. When I was leaving I saw a sign outside the door that they were promoting a special project where people could write notes to service people overseas. I didn't see the sign when i came in and never did the clerk asks me if I wanted to contribute to the project -- which I totally would have. I absolutely DO NOT like clerks who are all over you when you are shopping, but a friendly greeting and promotion of an event like they were running is not overboard.

The selection of flowers in the arrangement was amazing including hydrangeas, liatris, lilies etc. And the vase the flowers were placed in is beautiful. I have received bouquets from them for other occasions and they were always beautiful as well but this one for Mother's Day was exquisite. My son lives in NJ and when asked about a local florist I suggested Sweet Nectar. He has been using them for my birthday and Mother's Day for a few years now and the arrangements have never disappointed. I cannot recommend a florist more highly. Beautiful flowers and lovely arrangements. Wish I could add a picture!!

I ordered "Mother's Day Flowers" from Sweet Nectar for my mom online & chose a beautiful bouquet & spent $113. The flowers that were delivered were NOTHING like what I ordered. When my sister called to let them know they were very nice & said they would fix it. They also, said they wanted the flowers back that they messed up on, very tacky & unprofessional. The new flowers were delivered the next day. The vase was correct & the colors were correct, but again nothing like what I ordered. Thank goodness my mom took pictures, so we could see what she got. Again, very disappointing. I've learned my lesson & will not be ordering from this establishment again.
