My husband and I really liked them so I needed to go back to buy 3 more. When I went the first time, they were going through inventory and the curtains were not out on the floor. I asked an employee if there were any in the back. He said "Yeah but because of inventory we can't get them. I can't go in the back cause it'll be in a box somewhere. Come back next week." I was a bit perplexed - so you refuse to sell me curtains because of inventory? I've done inventory with stores before and I've never heard of this. Such a wasted trip. So I call the store a week and a half later to ask - the employee goes to the curtain dept to look for them. I try to give her the UPC# but she doesn't want it, she's looking via the description. She says "They're probably in the back and I'm not going back there. It's in a box somewhere. They're unloading a truck now so it'll be out soon." I ask why it says there are 5 in stock online? She says "Well it's probably 5 cause there's 5 in the truck coming to the store right now." Even though it has said there's 5 in stock for the past 2 weeks. So my question would be - how unorganized is it in the backroom that no employee wants to go back there to check merchandise?? Is it just me or is that crazy?

Come celebrate local business, merchandising magic, and some locally sewn goods!

I have been eyeing striped pants awhile but this was the first pair that had the quality feel and smart styling that made them worth a trip into the dressing room. Thanks, Sabrina and Nava! You made it easy to support a small business!

Located right across from Lorraine Fabrics, I've been wanting to check this place out for awhile…read more I was finally drawn in during their annual sale. As soon as I walked in, I wondered why it had taken me so long to check it out. Located in an old warehouse, CMI doesn't have that warehouse feel. A good size room, filled with hand-braided rugs and baskets, the place is cheerful and inspiring. Even though I wasn't looking to buy anything, I just couldn't resist purchasing a Pawtucket rug (made from scraps of fabric) and a basket (perfect for storing those odds and ends). The staff were friendly and helped with moving rugs, giving the background to how they are made, and helping to roll them up for take away. While I was there during a huge sale, it seems that even the normal prices are pretty reasonable, as it was, I got a full area rug for less money that my IKEA rug cost me. And it is more beautiful, better made, and local. S This place has been there for 20 years, and is still a hidden gem.

You never know what you'll find, yet you can always count on finding something fabulous. Mary has an extraordinary eye for discovering special goods from all over the world, including things you might otherwise find only in France. I was so pleased to see some of my favorite designers still here from twelve years ago, before I moved away. Candy, cards, socks, blankets, candles, tea towels, wallets, totes, beautiful things to hang and admire, and whimsical--or not-so-whimsical--spiritual and manifestation treasures. They even have motion-activated sound boxes that chirp like birds! Simple Pleasures is exactly what its name promises: a shop filled with discovery, imagination, beauty, and joy.

Because the shop is on the small side and it absolutely filled with goodies, the service is impecable. A warm greeting, a helpful eye, a friendly chat. There's also a section in the back that has children's clothing and other items, and what looked like a sewing station for personalization of any number of items or even tailoring. This will become one of my go-to spots for picking up a lovely gift for a friend or even for myself! Only thing is, no parking means circling Wayland Square or paying for one of the nearby lots.

In a very real sense, the product being sold was beauty-it just happened to be in a rug.
