Awesome awesome store. They are always as friendly as they possibly can be. Even if they were…read morehaving a bad day, you will never know. They will never show it to their customers and remain sweet as candy. I collect Zippo's and have bought many there. There was a Day Of The Dead set they had, and being 2 lighters they couldn't set it in the carousel. One of the women who works there (I forget her name as I suck at remembering names) told me that she was hoping I would be the one to buy it. She obviously couldn't deny selling it to someone else, but I was happy to pick it up. Also their stone carvings and statues are masterpiece's. But they are nothing compared to the staff. I hope they keep up running for years to come. I've even tried to volunteer there, but they have unfortunately turned me down. I'll definitely keep trying though. I highly recommend everyone visit this store. You won't be disappointed! If I was being forced to choose something to be bummed about it would be that their jewelry is silver. But that is strictly because I am allergic to silver. So it is no fault of their own. It's entirely on my personal biology.

Legally they need a form 149, which I also had. They wanted a copy of the actual Missouri tax license which is not required and frankly none of their business. I also noticed that there were a lot of empty booths that weren't empty a few weeks prior, guess their vendors don't like their policies either... To the guy selling a Stanley Bailey 5 1/2, if you want to sell it without the mall making up laws to block your sale, hit me up.

Tallulahs is one of the crown jewels, in the retail community in Columbia. Tallulahs is a kitchen…read morespecialty shop, that caters to those of us who have a passion for cooking and entertaining. I cannot visit Columbia, without stopping by and buying several items to take home. This delightful little shop is located in the heart of downtown, on Broadway. It offers practical and unique gadgets. Aprons that make a baker look like a fashionista. They also offer, professional chef quality knives. Also, with the upcoming holidays, you can find table settings, serving pieces, that will make your table an elegant showpiece. The ladies who staff the store, are a delight. They are always excited to assist you and really love it when you share stories of your purchases. My most recent purchase, a large tea towel called, Bartenders Guide, is going to be framed. When I told the owner what I going to do, she asked me to send her a pic when it was completed. She was almost as excited as I was to find this towel and to do something creative with it. If you like to entertain, you gotta shop at Tallulahs. I guarantee you will not be able to walk out empty handed.

There was so much to look at that it was easy to lose track of time just wandering from booth to booth. The mix of items kept things interesting, with plenty of pieces that made me stop and say, I forgot this existed. It felt more like an experience than a quick shop, which I always appreciate. Even if you do not buy anything, it's a really enjoyable place to browse and soak it all in.

Between my friend and I, we did drop several dollars and are looking forward to returning. Because I have an affinity for Asian art, I purchased some origami crane earrings and an origami greeting card. I also found an adorable hand-carved mouse that fit perfectly with an inside joke in my circle. The staff was super helpful and they provided "artist's cards" with each purchase. The card gave info on the artist and really help connect your purchase to the inspiration behind it. I loved that idea!! Every time I visit Columbia, BLUESTEM will be on my list of MUST DO's. I left too many things behind that I MUST have!

This is a cute place with lots of interesting goods: seeds and planters for the garden, dishware and picnic sets, homemade blankets and kitchen towels, mints, chapstick, storage ideas, and cute knickknacks. I purchased these reusable beeswax wraps that I've seen online but never in stores, plus a handful of other small things. The kind of things they sell here are things I like to buy, so I was happy. I feel like a lot of the merchandise would make good gifts for Easter or Mother's day too. My favorite part of the store was the antique cash register. It adds a fun touch and you can tell lots of thought went into every part of the store.
