I had purchased various of their wares at pop-ups or other shops over the last few years. But I learned from a friend that they had an actual shop (and while it is not open at the moment), they are selling from their website. Ordering was super easy and they have a nice variety of items. I like that you can shop by cause as well as by type. You can't actually smell the candles from the website, but the descriptions are really good! I also like that if you finish a candle, you can return the empty clean glass to the store for a small credit.

I had two key words to go off of: tea and candles. Hmmmmm.... I had my friend Eric tell me about The Collective Shop a few months back when he bought some prints and I obsessed about them at his house. I was told it had recently opened on Magazine Street (this was around Halloween) and it was not only #blackowned but #womanowned and #opentoall ! *sold* I had this ace in my pocket for a while now but wanted a reason to shop for someone else, besides myself, and have a proper visit to explore and shop. I'm notorious for buying gifts for myself then as I'm in my car realized that I needed to shop for whatever the occasion was for. The shop is so stinking cute and is about 2-3 blocks away from Drink Beauty. Honestly, I love taking a stroll on Magazine Street and just basking in the ambiance. Once I found the cute little shop, I made my way in and fell in love at first sight. Had the chance to meet Alysia, one of the owners and she showed me around. I had asked her if they offer shipping and they do if you hit a certain threshold. WINNING I mentioned about my secret mission and wanted to make sure this could be sent incognito. She was super awesome and handled the details once I provided the address. I even left the items there since I needed computer access to her address. They have their own loose leaf tea and were super informative on which ones work with alternative milks and best for chai lattes. What won me over though were their #vegan candles which Alysia and Toni make in-house! I took a few sniffs and selected my fave two scents. The smaller ones were $8 a pop and the larger ones were around $14. You can find tons of knick knacks around here and make sure to ask which items are made in-house. Really loved my experience here and this shop implements COVID-19 safety practices! I snagged my secret santa gift for a little over $30 and left with a huge smile on my face. I hope CM Anne F. likes it just as much when it arrives to her doorstep.

Like many of the business along Magazine, this one is situation in what once was a house. Just letting you know this, so you know what you are looking for. Once inside, you will be overwhelmed by the amount of beads they offer, in addition to a lot of other items that the person who enjoys making jewelry will need to create their craft. There is truly tons and tons of beads and other items in this shop. In addition, you can also find pre-made pieces of jewelry. All of which are beautifully handcrafted. Meaning, it is a great place to buy that gift for that special person in your life or for yourself. One thing to keep in mind, once inside this business, due to all of the items they have to offer and all of the customers who love this shop, you may find it to be a little be crowded. That's just something to keep in mind, as you can feel pretty cramped inside, if there's a lot of shoppers. Overall, this is one of the best bead shops around. Definitely worth the visit.

Too many beads to look at. This place is stuffed with beads. All kinds, but everything is organized. There is a method to the madness. Staff recommend that you grab one of the small baskets that include small plastic bags and a pen. You place your selection in the baggy and write down how much it costs on the outside of the baggy. There are strings of beads hanging from the walls. Beads and clasps in bowls and dishes of various types, shapes, and sizes. A large assortment of chains, cut to desired length. Everything necessary to create your own custom jewelry. There were some serious bead shoppers in the shop. One of the ladies was assisting a mother and daughter duo the entire time I was looking around. They were still there when I made my purchases and exited. I purchased the cutest miniature tea cup and saucer and a faux pearl in a shell. There's even a back room where things have already been made. The staff are friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable. The back of the business card: Beads; jewelry; findings; beading supplies; classes; repairs; charms; kids and adult parties; custom designs; wedding jewelry.

Unfortunately, when I asked about gift wrapping I was told sale items are not eligible. I offered to pay extra, I was on the way to a party. I was refused, put in a plain bag, no tissue. When I mentioned in the future about charging I was told, my boss has owned this shop 20 years so I'm not telling her how to run it. Really? As a customer for years and only suggestions, not appropriate response. So, instead of at least putting in a bag with their logo for advertising I had to buy a gift bag and they didn't get any recognition. Common sense should prevail.

Another I like about this shop, it's not packed to the roof with stock. You can actually peruse without being overwhelmed and move without fearing that you're going to take out a shelving unit of glassware. WHEW. The staff has always been helpful without being push and there is often free wine while you shop (BONUS). Sometimes I hit the jackpot and sometimes not. The upstairs (ok 3 steps) back room is a separate business so be prepared to use your card twice if you want merchandise from both spaces.
