Besides being a place where one can find a good variety of beautiful gifts for all occasions, one can also find very nice Virginia and Roanoke City souvenirs, as well as Virginia Tech Hokie Bird and Virginia Cavaliers t-shirts and items. The pink flamingo is the store's logo, which has been opened for over 40 years. Victoria, one of the store's owner, and working there on the the I visited was very nice and helpful in showing me around. For the small space, they have a very nice variety of quality items very well placed all around the store. It's a pleasure just visiting the store, and one will always find something irresistible to have to buy and take home. I would recommend this store to anyone who is around Roanoke Market Square and looking to see a nice variety of good quality items in a small but well used space, and treated with excellent customer service that will make you feel at home while shopping.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience deserves attention…read more I returned an online order within the stated 90-day return window, with proof of purchase, and followed the store's instructions. Despite that, I was told the refund could NOT be issued back to my original payment method and that only store credit would be provided due to "system limitations" between online and in-store purchases. What followed was hours of confusion, conflicting instructions from staff and management, and repeated customer service emails that ultimately confirmed there is no ability to issue a refund to the original card--even when the return is valid and within policy. This is not a small detail. The website states items can be returned within 90 days, which reasonably implies a standard refund if the return is valid. That is not what actually happens when returning online orders in-store. After multiple attempts to resolve this, I was still offered only store credit or conditional workarounds, not a refund. At minimum, customers deserve clear, upfront disclosure that online purchases returned in-store will NOT be refunded to the original payment method. That is a significant and misleading gap in expectation vs. reality. I am sharing this so other customers are not surprised after the fact the way I was.

The items I've purchased from Tonja are heirloom quality and make my home feel cozy and inviting. Highly recommend!

All I did was asked a valid question as to why I did not get 50% of $149.98, which is what my necklace was listed for. Instead, I got $67.49, which was 50% of $134.98. I would have expected $74.99. I was told by the lady who works there that sometimes the owner gives a special discount to regular customers. I was fine with her answer and that should have been the end of that The next day, I got a call from the owner telling me that he was told that I was upset when I called to ask about the difference. I emphasized to him that I was not upset. I was only wondering about the difference. He explained to me just like what the lady said to me the day before. He also said that that was on him giving that kind of discount to his customer. He then said that they seem to always be doing something wrong by me and that they should return my stuff to me. I felt like I was being punished for having asked a valid question. When I first started the consignment with them, they had lost a couple of my stuff, and they compensated me for them, which was well and good. They even said that they hoped that I was going to continue consigning with them. So, we moved on. Back in July, I noticed that a storage box that I had dropped off for consignment was no where to be seen, this box would have been hard to miss. It was not there but was still showing as available in my 'available' list. I brought it up with them on the day they returned my stuff to me, and the owner said that I dropped it off on 7/10, and it was sold and paid out within a couple of weeks, I think. Anyway, if it was paid out, it was not to me. The pay out must have accidentally gone to someone else. I had also brought up with the owner, when we talked on the phone, that I seemed to have been missing a necklace. I brought 4 necklaces, and only 3 were accounted for. When I got back from my vacation to pick up my stuff, somehow the missing necklace has appeared. I did not bother to ask where it was since they were already returning my stuff. I did not want nor expect to be banned from consigning. All I did was asked a valid question. I didn't think it was fair that they did that to me. I really enjoyed shopping at their store. I think that it should have been up to me to make that decision to discontinue doing business with them if I thought they weren't doing right by me. It is really sad and unfortunate this happened. Now it just really makes me sad to drive by there and not go any more.

During the holiday season, I love discovering unique finds by exploring and shopping at local…read moreantique and gift shops. Today, while I was headed to one in particular, I drove by Willow Tree Antiques & Primatives, located off Buck Mountain Road, in Roanoke, Virginia. And on my way back I couldn't help but to make a stop there. After being awarded the Yelp NC Triad Squad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, celebrating their contributions and accomplishments throughout the year, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and businesses, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Willow Tree Antiques & Primatives, in Roanoke, Virginia, is a perfect example. Inside the establishment I was able to meet the owner of this family-owned and operated business. Robin Barker is a friendly, elegant, and hospitable lady, who explained how she started the business in 2015, and now the two floor building, 20,000 square foot building, haa around 100 vendor booths, offering a diverse selection of antiques, collectibles, primitives, vintage furniture, unique jewelry, rustic home decor, and hand-made items, just to name a few. As I walked through the establishment, I noticed the many unique one-of-a-kind quality items in very good condition. They were well organized in nice clean vendor booths spaces. Right now many of the items had to to with Christmas and the Holiday Season, but I was told the vendors rotate their seasonal pieces throughout the year and keep their other pieces year round. I only had an opportunity to visit the first floor because they closed at 5:00pm. But I observed many of the items very closely, and purchased a souvenir greeting card with a photograph of the Roanoke Star. This gave me the idea of marketing some of my photographs in this way, and I would use this as a sample of how I can make them and the wording to put on them. After I paid for the greeting card, that by the way all of the items sold here were reasonably priced, I made plans for returning another day to view the items on the second floor. I could either park in the parking lot of this floor and walk the stairs to the second floor, or park in the parking lot of the second floor and be right there. I would highly recommend you too visit this establishment when you have time. At least the many items there will be a treat to your eyes. And who knows, maybe you'll end up coming out with something meaningful to you.
