The best vibes came when I talk to Tom. I enjoyed learning something about the first kilt I ever owned. I learned I could aquire buckle extenders for my kilt that no longer fits me. Yes, married men tend to get a little pudgy as they get older. I am doing my best to control this tread so belly and butt don't get out of control. Back on track, I talked to Tom about acquiring a utility kilt or cargo kilt. Something I thought would be very beneficial when acquiring my first traditional kilt. My first kilt is made out of wool and is for everyday use. My second kilt is for formal dining or settings. Both of these kilts need Sporran to hold your personal belongings. Now for those of you who don't know about Sporrans, they can be very basic to very fancy. All of them if not properly secured can back and attack your manhood. This goes doubly so for guys that go True Scotsman way. Some women who have worn a Sporran might have experienced this Nunchaku like experience. If I lost you, I will explain "The nunchaku is a traditional Okinawan martial arts weapon consisting of two sticks, connected to each other at their ends by a short metal chain or a rope. It takes lots of practice and respect to use this weapon. The moment you do don't show respect for this weapon, you will be smacked by the very weapon you were holding. The True Scotsman way is very liberating I might say, but there are others who find it "Childish and Unhygienic." I once wore my kilt after the Scottish Games to nail salon. The lady or ladies working on me or near me had this smile on their faces. The woman giving me the pedicure obversly knew what she was doing to get a better view. I am digressing again... Tom informed me this shop tried selling the cargo kilts, but they were not big sellers at the time. The fact that cargo kilts generally are not traditional kilts and don't tend to be clan affiliated, I can see why the cargo kilts didn't sell well. Nevertheless, my next and only kilt will be a cargo style kilt. It will either be all black, heather grey or two tone of black and purple. Tom told me of a fragrance they sold (name escapes me right now) and it smells delightful. It comes in a big bottle, which you should not try to take through the airport or it will be confiscated 99% of the time. I think my wife and I will be acquiring a bottle or two the next time we are in town. I liked the Guinness Jerseys did not feel compelled to by one for nearly 100 dollars. I might have if I hadn't already bought a sweater at another store. My wife and I enjoyed our time at this store and look forward to coming back here again. Tom made this experience here well worth it.

And yet I'd never stopped in until last week! I don't know what took me so long. It's a bookstore, but it's not your every day bookstore. Back Creek Books sells used books and antiquarian books (rare and very old books). It's small, so I wondered if I wouldn't find something I wanted to take home with me. What a silly thought. I had about 20 minutes to kill before heading to a work event and popped in. I found several books I wanted to take home within just a few minutes and without even leaving the first one or two bookshelves (fiction). They have lots of older editions, signed books, and less common finds - many at still very affordable prices (don't get intimidated by their very rare and quite expensive books in the front window, not everything in the shop is a first edition with a high price tag). I picked up a signed book of short stories that I'm really excited to read. This probably isn't the bookshop for you if you're looking for something specific or if you only read new releases. But it's a great shop for browsing if you're looking for something unexpected, different, or special!

Its quite large and has a huge selection of jewelry, accessories, cards, and such. I always look at various scarves, the Hobo bags, dangling earrings and the stationary and cards. Sometimes I sniff a candle or lotion along the way too. Over the years I have acquired a good amount of fashion jewelry from this store and I've been happy with it. The prices are really reasonable too. On my most recent trip I was pleased to get some Christmas stuff 70% off and some fresh cards made by a local artist. To visit this store I usually park in the Noah Hillman garage just one block off of Main Street and then its a quick walk to the store. There is a second location in Annapolis at the Town Center.

GAL‼ I went into Sephora with nothing but a screenshot of a shopping list from my wife and absolutely no idea what I was looking for. Hyacinth immediately stepped in and made the whole experience incredibly easy. She took the time to ask about my wife's skin type, complexion, and what she was trying to achieve before helping me pick out every item. She explained everything in a way that actually made sense and never made me feel out of place. When I got home, my wife was genuinely impressed and said Hyacinth picked exactly what she would have chosen herself. Customer service like this is hard to find. Hyacinth was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about getting everything right. She deserves the recognition--and honestly, a raise. I spent more than I planned! But happy wife=happy life. I'll definitely be asking for her the next time I shop at Sephora. Thank you so much Hyacinth!
