Tableco — Local services in Lincolnton

😍 Had a "King of the World" Titanic-Movie-Scene experience at TableCo! It was everything I wanted it to be and more! I'm serious, I had high expectations and the real experience blew me away! Let me paint the picture: I'm pulling my 2 kids out of the car quickly because I have exactly 20 minutes to find the perfect gift for a best friend that I have to ship out THAT DAY (I know, disaster waiting to happen, right?) and so as I pull out my baby I realize I forgot her stroller, so as I'm struggling to pull my toddler out of the car while holding my baby, we send his bucket of toys scattering through the parking lot. At the same time, a happy lady was walking to her car and eagerly (and non-judgmentally) comes over to me to help me get it together, all the while, saying the most encouraging things and successfully keeps me from feeling bad about being a total mess in public, lol. She's a saint. So I've got my kids finally, one holding my hand and one on my hip, and I start to enter the store and reach for the door, and there right on the door it says, "The Marketplace of Hospitality" and I realized that I felt the hospitality of the store through the helpfulness of the parking lot Lady-Saint before I even got INSIDE the store. So as soon as I walk in, I am greeted by the nicest ever lady (I forgot your name, I am sooooo sorry!) and she offers to help me. I didn't even wait, I said "Oh yes please help me I have 20 mins to find the perfect gift for my perfect friend!" and I then proceed to have the shopping experience of a lifetime. You see, this dear friend that I am shopping for, is my "shopping" friend. She loves to shop, and she makes shopping an absolute riot. We haven't gotten to shop together in years and years because we live far apart now, so going shopping for her gifts is important to me and her birthday is the most fun to shop for all year long. So I asked the Tableco-shop lady, (Can I call you Coco? I feel like you're probably a fancy lady named Coco). Ok, so I asked Coco if she could pretend that we were shopping together for a mutual friend that loves farmers markets and having special kitcheny things, and could she please point me in the direction of those fun and fabulous items. Coco was so fun to shop with! It reminded me of shopping with my "shopping" friend. She gave me quick tips and advice, showed me products that I didn't even know existed, and gave me a whole tour of the store, and also carried everything for me, because let's not forget, I am carrying a baby and trying to manage a toddler (who was dancing nonstop to "Cotton Eye Joe" and waving his toy trains in the air).

It doesn't even stop there, you guys! It keeps getting better! I go to check out, and Coco offers to gift-wrap everything for me!! Which was amazing, incredible!!! So I'm assuming that she's going to put it in a bag with some tissue paper, but NO! She throws everything artistically together in a gold wire basket with crinkle-tinsel in the bottom and then puts cellophane around that and ties it in a pretty ribbon and everything! So for real, my birthday friend got the nicest. present. ever. With the most beautiful presentation, and with the most fun story and memories behind it that I can ever remember attaching with a present. Despite everything I had going against me, I got in and out of the store in 20 minutes, with a beautifully gift wrapped present for my friend, with happy babies and a full and joyful heart, totally upbeat to see what great thing was going to happen next in my day.

Thank you so much, Tableco! Thank you, Coco! (I'll learn your real name one day I promise) Thank you Alyssa Martinez, you and your cousin Coco have built an amazing business and you are living your mission statement! Thank you, Winter Graham for suggesting the store so often...

So many great choices! And for dessert get a doughnut from Sweet Side bakery opening soon or grab a delicious cookie from...

Donna and her team are absolutely wonderful. Donna specifically went above and beyond to be accommodating, she allowed me ample amount of time to browse and try on as many gowns as I liked- she never made me feel rushed and encouraged me to try on as many gowns as I wished. I appreciated her direction in the process while also allowing me to explore various styles. She is very knowledgeable and truly seems to love what she does. I went into the dress shopping experience with a bit of anxiety- not knowing if I would be able to find a gown I truly loved as a plus sized bride. But my fears and anxieties were quickly calmed thanks to Donna’s reassurance and large selection of gowns in all sizes. Thank you again Donna and the Tulle LKN team for a wonderful...
