It's one of those stores where you walk intending to browse but inevitably find something you love that you just have to take home with you. creme de la creme is a little hard to describe; I guess I'd call it a home goods and decor store. They sell candles, rugs, art, and various items of decor. The merchandise is of really high quality. On this past visit (I'd been in one before, too), I found a rug that just called to me. I had to have it. The store is beautiful (and festive around the holidays), and the service is so friendly and helpful. Definitely one of the many stores worth visiting in historic Frederick!

Before we sat down to have a cup of coffee at Colada Shop, we were walking around some of the…read morestores on this strip of Mosaic District when Kimi was like, "We gotta go into this store, I think you guys will really love it." And I'm certainly not one to say no to shopping... and Kimi knows me pretty well - so in we went. In this adorable little shop you'll find a bit of everything: From chic baby toys and gear, to Women's athletica, adorable spice recipe kits, dog treats, jewelry, natural deodorant, candles and so much more that I'm forgetting. The store is immaculately designed. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're in a higher end boutique - but it's also not stuffy at all like some places. It's just highly curated with interesting unique products, and could be the absolute best place for stocking stuffers, small gifts, making a gift basket and also obviously splurging on yourself. I ended up getting some natural dog treats for the pup, and I almost splurged on some fancy balsamic vinegar. This splurge was for the pup, the next time I come in the splurge will be for me lol. Definitely worth stopping in. If you're someone who LOVES getting little treats and surprises for your friends and family this could be the perfect spot. The mix is eclectic and Kimi pointed out that they even sell this soap that was gifted to us for Latinx heritage month as it's a Latin owned soap company. I feel like it's the apothecary David would open if he was a woman.

Everything they feature is ethically-sourced and sustainably obtained. AND OH so cute. I could spend forever smelling all the candles, delighting over the handmade jewelry, perusing their cookbooks, picnic blankets, baby rain boots and so much more. This is the perfect place to grab a special gift for a friend and reminds me of those cute, indie boutiques that are on every corner in LA. I hope this shop stays around for a long time.

Their candles are soy based and have a wooden wick so it's not toxic for you compared to other candle brands. There is a smell for everyone; they have floral smells, sweet smells, fresh scents, and they even had Halloween scents. I would recommend this store to all my candle lovers and you can find a great gift for others as well. The sales rep was friendly and informative! It's a great addition to old town Manassas. FYI: the candles with glitter... the glitter remains and does not evaporate so your candles will remain shimmery!

The mother-and-daughter duo who run the classes are incredibly kind, welcoming, and so knowledgeable at what they do. They explained every step clearly, guided us throughout the process, and made the entire experience so much fun. The selection of candle vessels was amazing -- everything from vintage-inspired pieces to fun, unique styles and everything in between. Then came the scents... and wow. Thank goodness I made three candles because choosing just one was impossible. There were SO many incredible fragrances to pick from. We already booked another class for next month and plan to return every season since they change up the vessels and scents regularly. Such a magical experience from start to finish.
