Cute store with lots of good stuff, however customer service was snobby. I spent 10 or 15 minutes going through a box of $2 postcards. I found one that I liked. However, when I went to pay, the lady behind the counter, told the guy ringing up my purchase that it was a "vintage" postcard and therefore I would be charged an additional dollar. Not that the dollar was lot of money, but the 50% markup when I got to the register that was unethical. Then I had also asked for the price of the little ring boxes they use for displays and if they had them for sale. I was told they were "too expensive", and then the same lady who jacked up the price on the postcard, started trying to convince me I didn't want the little ring box because the "boxes only worked for small rings and didn't close appropriately with large rings", before the gentleman who was actually helping me, told her that I wanted to use a box for a miniature and had no intentions of using it as a ring box. I just found it very condescending to assume that I couldn't afford a ring box, and then try to convince me that I didn't want it anyway. If you don't want to sell the ring boxes just say they're not for sale. I left feeling a ripped off...

It is a family owned and operated by Dan and his lovely wife, Toni.
From the moment you walk into their store you realize you have entered a place that feels very magical and special!
The most difficult part is when you have to say goodbye when leaving. All of their employees like Barbara and Grace are kind and most helpful. You will leave feeling like a Valued customer! They do their very best to make you feel appreciated and they are most genuine.
Every item in this unique place is so magnificent. What a Great place to shop!
However, allow me to warn youāthis beautiful store is addicting! The items they carry are Outstanding! It is a great place to purchase that special gift you have been searching for! Or, perhaps buying something very special for yourself!

Ā Ā Ā Read moreI had an item for sale online. I had listed the item low so that I could sell it faster. Anyone who has sold anything of any value online knows how difficult it can be.
Donovan texted me inviting me to call the store regarding my item. At first I was a bit unsure (with all the scams and such). I called him and he knew immediately who I was due to my posted item. He informed me that I was asking too little for the item and invited me to bring it in to be checked out.
A couple days later I did. Very pleasant shop and even better people. They were great. Friendly and chatty. Donovan checked out my item and offered me a fair price. That just so happened to be more than I was asking. Saying they are fair is an understatement.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy something from these folks. When you go in plan on staying for a few because they are just so pleasant... Like hanging out...
