I have been “window shopping” in this store many times and have always been greeted and had my questions answered. I’ve never been made to feel unworthy even though I wasn’t buying anything. Many years ago I bought a nice pillow here and while owning it I washed the insert against the advice of the directions. My washer destroyed it. I happened to mention it while in this shop on one of my visits and the lady gave me an insert to replace it with no questions asked. I was not even thinking about her giving me a replacement. I was the one that did not follow the directions yet she did. Today, I stopped in to buy a nice set of sheets. Again, I was greeted with kindness and had all my questions answered thoroughly. I bought a nice, well-made set of sheets and had an excellent experience. I do not believe all the negative reviews are deserved. I think YOU need to give this small business a chance to earn your business. I truly believe you will find a great place to buy exquisite linens, luxurious pajamas and interesting gifts.

Local appeal is cute but rude manners will loose you quiet a bit...
Read moreNice local shop with a good selection of linens and other gift items. But what I really wanted to share is my experience with great customer service from Pat - which seems hard to come by these days! I purchased 11 dinner napkins and needed a 12th, which Pat ordered. There were delays in Homestead receiving the napkins from their supplier - beyond normal. Pat did a good job setting expectations with me and communicating with me about the issue. Once the 12th napkin finally arrived and I went in to pick it up, Pat refused to accept payment for it - stating how sorry she was for the extended delays. This was not expected - as the delays weren't Pat's fault - but the gesture was very much appreciated! Great...
