I haven't ever seen someone get so defensive, abrasive and unpleasant over a singular question before, especially one that is directly related to her "we buy gold" sign out front. If you're reading this lady - take a day off or hire someone to do customer service, because the vibe you're bringing is ugly.

We made the mistake of visiting this shop over the weekend after attending the Scottish Festival…read more The store was cute with interesting jewelry and a nice young guy working the counter. The owner/manager (not sure who she was) was awful! She did not treat the young guy with respect and honestly made me feel like a hostage. The young guy saw me looking at a bracelet and overheard me comment that I wished it were just a little bit different. He was super nice and offered to restring the bracelet to my liking. So kind! The older woman BURST out of the back room and started LOUDLY telling everyone in the shop that she had been in a meeting and started asking people how she could help them. The young guy had been calmly helping everyone before her chaotic vibes burst into the room. She took over helping me and talked super fast and really loud and kept telling me it would take a long time to restring the bracelet and she acted like I was a huge inconvenience. I kept saying not to worry about it and I would look around the shop some more. She would not allow that. She was beyond worried about it. She was so abrasive. She kept commanding the young guy to go in the back room and look for some special bowl of beads. He went back twice but could not find what she was asking for. He looked terrified to tell her that he could not find her special bowl. Why didn't she just go get it herself? Why would she not allow me to look around the store? Why is she so loud and abrasive? She finally went to the back room to search for her special bowl and my friends and I bolted out of the store so fast. When we were passing through the threshold of the door to outside I could hear the woman YELLING from the back room for us not to leave!! It was so scary for me and I am sure every day working there is scary for the young guy. I sure hope he gets a job working somewhere else. If she was not the owner, I sure hope the owner takes this review into consideration. The shop itself and the items being sold were great, but I honestly am afraid to ever go there again because of that woman.

I fell in love today with a little but fine store: Sally Mack in Chapel Hill right on Martin Luther…read moreKing Jr. Blvd. next to other gems like Flyleaf Bookstore! I was sitting at the Root Cellar with a friend of mine when Sally walked up to us greeting my friend warmly and after a very nice chat, we said we would stop by her store. I had not yet heard of her store and I couldn't have been happier to have walked in. The story features beautiful home decor items and gifts. Truly lovely and carefully chosen things and Sally is wonderfully warm and funny. So I couldn't have asked for a more amazing shopping experience. I walked out with a gorgeous gift for my best friend (so I can't reveal what it is right now but I promise an update) and a cute notepad with a demanding zebra telling me to get it done. I will surely be back very soon and I will put this store on my list of places to go to and explore and buy gifts alongside Vespertine and This and That in Carrboro. Thank you, Sally!

I went here to get a ring repaired and another ring sized. I'd been to a competitor a couple of…read moreyears ago to get one of these same rings repaired. What a completely different experience. The sales people at Hamilton Hill were very warm and friendly. The goldsmith who was going to do the actual repair met with me, explained what he would be able to do and gave me a choice with the estimated cost. It was by far less expensive than the estimate I received from the competitor. I am very, very happy with the result and so glad I chose Hamilton Hill.

Do you love pop-up shops, locally made products, once-a-month special events, WOMEN,…read moreboutique-thrift items, recyclable goods, sustainable cleaning supplies, jewelry, BEER, letter-press cards and oh so much more?! Then let me know you, the Durham Patchwork mini-market is about to be your new best friend! I "secretly" took my boyfriend to Fullsteam on the first Saturday of the month so we could "grab a beer." Little did he know that there was a full-blow POP-UP shop within! My eyes got wide and he realized he'd been tricked, but man oh man was it worth it [and he got a beer out of it!]. This little market is any girls dream! While you sip on a brew you can wonder between vendors [the majority female entrepreneurs and artisans] and have conversations while they tell you about their products, which they are all very passionate about. The vendors change from month to month, but the covered [non air conditioned] space in Fullsteam is filled to the tippy top. This is a perfect spot to pick up presents for friends, yourself or stock up on Christmas supplies! You can support many local business in one stop AND in a chill but popping environment. Check out their facebook page [www.facebook.com/TheDurhamPatchworkMiniMarket] for the latest vendor news and updates. And now you know where to find me every FIRST Saturday from 12:00-4:00pm.

I found out about this pop up market just the day before, lucky me! Unlike other pop up shops,…read morethis one was free admission. The event went from 12-5. There were a variety of craft vendors that were local artists. I would rather buy a local artist print, mug, ring, etc than go to a mall. I wish there was more 'walking' room though, it was very packed (which is a good thing).
