Where to start! The inventory is really great and the store is quite packed to the gills! It's almost like a hoarder decided to open a boutique! It is NOT somewhere you bring children, strollers, wheelchairs, crutches, or walkers or even if you're a bigger person because it is labyrinthine and has a lot of areas where you have to squeeze between things to move by! The elderly woman at the register is quirky and adorable! And that's the reason I gave this place 2 stars instead of 1!
The woman who owns the store was working on a table and my husband had to move past her as we could not walk past due to aisle restrictions. She bent over the table and kind of fell into it after he went past and knocked over several items and I noticed she was kind of shaky almost as if impaired. I asked my husband "what happened?" And she turned to me, pointed at my husband and said "that man over there knocked into the table and made all this stuff fall over!" And my husband and I just locked eyes and he said "what the hell?!" And she went to picking up and I skirted by her and we continued on into the store.
When we were done we headed to the register with a couple trinkets. A man in front of us had his kids bring up 2 trinkets and his wife had a little pair of knit gloves that were maybe $20 but his total was $130+ so he asked why they cost so much and the owner explained as follows:
"Whenever we get any LV merchandise that is defective, we cut it up and sew it into other clothing items and then they become LV and that's why the price is what it is! You're paying for LV!" So they are committing fraud and copyright infringement!
Then it was our turn at the register and two of my items (socks) did not have price tags and the owner looked right at me and asked if I peeled the tags off my purchase! To which I replied "no ma'am". And she said "are you sure? Don't worry about it. I will go find out how much they are!" So I left the store while my husband finished because I was about to say some things I could not take back and then I realized the best venue is this one! So enjoy the art, watch out for anything marked LV and if the owner is rude, you've...
   Read moreMy husband and I purchased a beautiful embellished cow skull at the 2023 Stock Show and were very happy with the purchase. The team was great, wrapped it up for us and we easily got it home. However, fast-forward about 2 months later and we are now dealing with an infestation of red legged ham beetles in our house. I snagged a picture of these green and blue iridescent beetles because I have never seen one in this area in my life. I took a picture and reverse image-searched to confirm the type of bug it is. There’s not a lot of info online but they are scavenger beetles and they tend to infest taxidermy and similar specimens (cow skulls) as well as dried meats, dog food, etc. We were finding these grubs on the floor under where we had it hanging, they burrowed into our couch and rugs (made of wool, unfortunately - so basically like a buffet) and took chunks out of the rug because of eating it. I also found the larvae inside the skull (we placed it outside as soon as we discovered the issue). We’ve turned the house upside down, vacuuming and disposing of the ones we’ve found and set out traps, fingers crossed that the issue has been resolved. I just wish I’d known ahead of time so we could have figured out a way to treat it first and thus I wanted to educate anyone else thinking of getting a skull from here as I can’t imagine ours was...
   Read moreHarassed!! Ruined my afternoon... Very unhappy with customer service. Went to check out and was accused of tricking checkout attendant because price stickers wouldn't stay on the items I bought. I bought a couple of metal art magnets. My Mom also bought stuff from them. The lady with the checkout attendant went on and on about how I was tricking them... prices don't stay on rusty metal items. I tried to make sure the register had prices for them. But not everything is marked in store. In addition, i handed the register attendant my credit card twice while she was harassing me... and then I said sorry she has me confused.. and she said "No I Don't" twice in a row to me. Yeah she did. I am a local... I will never buy from this place again!!! Ever!! I'm ready to take this stuff back.. How about if they mark their items with price tags that actually stay with the items. I think she charged me $2 dollars more for one of the items than it was not marked. But I chose not to get a receipt because I just wanted out of there. A+ hole...
