You could probably fit a group of four MAX. But it is absolutely worth the visit if you're a plant lover. They have a small variety of plants like philodendrons, cacti, and Pothos plants. The price of these is excellent. I brought home a $6 baby cactus and a large Brazilian philodendron for $21. They also have pots, t-shirts, candles, and quirky jewelry - also very reasonably priced. And you can't go without meeting the shop dog, Navajo! Just as sweet and charming as he is adorable. He and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back!

No additional signage, just a sign saying they open at 11:30 on Tuesdays. (Not 10, like Yelp/Google say.) I'm standing there at 2pm, staring at a 'closed' sign, with the open hours clearly saying they should be open while I'm standing there. I'm aware life will happen, but in that case, you post a sign saying why you're closed, and when you expect to be back. Like 'getting lunch, back at 1', 'closed early for vet appt' and so on. You don't just... do nothing. Honestly, speaking as a former small-shop-in-a-small-town owner myself, the lack of note or warning is disrespectful. If your hours aren't reliable, what does that say about the rest of your shop? Do you even care you're risking losing customers? And what certainty does the customer know you'll be open the next time they come by? If your hours are so changeable customers have to call ahead to see if you're open, then don't bother promising them hours you don't intend to keep. Just say Sun-Sat, open by appointment, please call ahead.

I always buy something when I'm here, and I always have to remind myself not to buy every beautiful thing I see. Even though I really want to! This is a little shop so with all the goodies on display, parts of it are pretty cozy. While this means I'm always very careful with my bags (I don't want to knock things down!), I don't mind. It's certainly not a bad thing to take my time in here looking through the shelves and racks of goodies. Funny magnets, cute greeting cards, pretty jewelry, eye-catching notebooks, colorful paperweights, unique stationery...the list of things here almost feels neverending. Often during visits I also take time to chat with the owner, who is a delight to speak with and who always makes me laugh with her stories and humor. As someone who doesn't usually like chatting while browsing and shopping, I think it says a lot about the store as a whole that I'm able to relax that much while I'm in here. I definitely look forward to future visits here, and I also recommend this shop for your own shopping needs! From custom designs to sweet gifts to snarky greeting cards, there's definitely something here for you, a family member, or a friend.

The outside envelopes came back without seals (their mistake) and we had to hand seal most of the envelopes ourselves.

A number of them unfortunately opened in the mail. We called to see if they could help in any way (and even offered to pay full price for reprints, etc.) and they told us "it wasn't urgent" and essentially that it's our problem not theirs.
