What truly sets The Lily Pad apart, however, is the exceptional customer service. Susan and Jennifer were absolutely amazing and are the reason I will continue to shop here. They were kind, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in helping me find the perfect gifts. They even wrapped my presents beautifully, making the entire experience effortless and enjoyable. It's rare to find a store with such a wonderful combination of quality products and outstanding service. Susan and Jennifer made me feel welcomed and appreciated from the moment I walked in. I highly recommend The Lily Pad to anyone looking for baby or children's gifts, and I look forward to returning again and again! The Lily Pad is fortunate to have team members like Susan and Jennifer who make shopping such a pleasant experience.

Such a fantastic locally owned business. I have had the pleasure of coming in here on a few…read moreoccasions for various reasons. The first time I came here was to help my grandmother get supplies to make a christening gown for my daughter. The people in here are so friendly and helpful and produce some amazing looking items. My wife and I were gifted a smocking class by family and gave us a different experience with them than what you normally have with a retail store. And yes, I did take a smocking class... and it was a blast! The teacher really helped us learned the strategies and was great about it when we made mistakes (which is bound to happen). It was a fun experience that we have not utilized the benefits of to its fullest potential. Anything else we have needed, the staff here has given great assistance. Any time we need fabric or have questions, the Smocking Bird is our go-to place to visit.

Bring your patience as there were only two ladies working this small store. Thank you Carolyn for pointing out the discontinued low priced fabrics that I would find in their next door warehouse and the discounted remnants in the basement. You'll find a plethora of hanging fabric samples organized by color and/or manufacturer. They seem competitively priced with online fabric stores, but here you get to see the fabric up close, and touch and feel. If it's in stock you eliminate shipping cost. Today, I was fortunate to find a fabric I had been contemplating ordering. They had it in stock at a competitive price. I purchased several yards, and I avoided shipping expense! Score!

Really nice fabric store. I was looking online first since it's hard to get there on a weekday…read moreduring work. I'm glad I went in store because they allow you to take larger home samples to try out for free (be sure to return them or by the looks of my paper work they'll charger you 30k) Online stores do not touch the quality available here. Also I'm really cheap and love a discount and I'd say to value to cost ratio is worth it. I even tried to google lens the fabric I wanted to no avail, so they really have a unique selection.only wish they were open at least one day on the weekend. I guess only trophy wives and retired ladies can shop here..

I figured a shampooer is like a vacuum so I called another place and they said they don't fix them. I called Bessemer Sew and Vacuum Center and spoke to the owner who said he doesn't typically fix them but if he can get the parts, he will see what he can do. I dropped it off the next day and less than 24 hours later, he called to say it was fixed!! He actually didn't even need parts so I just paid for his time. I was super happy. The owner is great, really nice, cares about helping you, and won't charge if he can't fix it. He even carried it out to my car. Highly recommend!
