I popped in yesterday and bought some hilarious Birthday and Mother's Day cards as well as a trivia/card game. They have socks, kitchy kitchen stuff, lots of CT and Hartford themed t-shirts and much more. The layout is easy to navigate and the guy who was working on 4/8 was jamming out some sweet Prince tunes and he joked that he appreciated that me and my coworkers were singing along to it. Definitely check it out.

Hartford Prints is the cutest little shop! I went for their Heated Rivalry Day this weekend and it…read morewas so much fun. From author signings to charm bracelets at a GREAT price, color-your-own bookmark crafts, themed *complementary* drinks, $1 mini prints, flash tattoos, and even a loon calling competition. Such a creative and well-done event, love spots like this that bring the community together.

BK & Co is a ladies boutique owed by two longtime friends Barbara and Karen, hence the name of…read moretheir store. Upon walking inside most items seemed geared toward older ladies. Also, I noticed there were some very wrinkly shirts, from cotton to rayon. Maybe I'm delayed on knowing what's forward in today's fashion, but something tells me every fabric doesn't look best when wrinkly. The further I looked in to the rear of the store, the more I liked the pieces. There are some formal dresses, some purses, shoes and jewelry pieces that I would be interested in when the occasion presents its self. They also have a sale section downstairs. I might return here soon to purchase a birthday gift for my mom.

The overall atmosphere upon entering the store felt less welcoming than expected. The clothing…read moreprices are high relative to the dated fashion selections offered. I'd recommend visiting your local Nordstrom Rack for the same dated fashion trends at a affordable price. I should have read previous reviews before visiting. Both the out of fashion clothing and poor customer service are mentioned.

You'll find jewelry, hair accessories, Christmas ornaments, clothing, candles, home decor and more. The more you walk around the more you'll discover of what they have here. They also have a sale section by the front in the corner. The girls who work here, were all involved in private conversations, none of them were helping any customers. If you were to ask them something, you'd have to interrupt their important conversation. There were a few locations of this store, but now there's just this one left. It's easy to spend some time browsing through everything.

Great store to find gifts-whether it's for others or yourself (because, treat yo-self). Today I got a delicious smelling candle for my office and I will be back because I foresee items here being included in some future gifts (mother's day?!). See you again soon, Heart of the Country!

My brother and I came in looking for some bracelets, and were about to purchase, but we didn't want to give them our business. The employees were hovering TOO close to us and it felt like they were watching our every move. It seemed like they already had preconceived notions just based on our skin tone while other people NOT of color were just wandering without the stares or consistently violating our personal space. Would NEVER recommend coming here." I would like to say that I am DISGUSTED by how they felt.
