This is my favorite local nursery. They grow their own plants (unlike most nurseries that just buy…read moreplants from growers). Because of this, they have a much better selection and lower prices than other nurseries. They have tons of plants to choose from: annuals, perennials, ferns, vegetables, etc. and they come in all sizes (except for the plugs which they unfortunately won't let you buy). The employees (with the exception of one crabby lady in the first building) are very friendly and willing to help you find what you're looking for. This is my first stop for almost any plant I'm looking for. And if you're putting together containers, you've got to come here; they have much better and more interesting stuff than the other guys.

I love coming to Casabella. First of all, the store owner is a staple in East Cobb - just about…read moreeveryone I know knows her. (Sadly, I do not but that is ok). There are so many fun things and trinkets and big items in this store and the aesthetic is absolutely my vibe. I usually get gifts here. They're more on the expensive side but what do you expect for nicer items??? Perfect for gifting & perfect for gifting gift cards because its one of those places that I dont typically shop at for myself but I totally would if I had a gift card. They were not able to wrap everything like they usually do but luckily I didnt need things wrapped. :D

Casabella used to be my shop for special gifts-especially Christmas ornaments. Last December, the…read morecustomer service was less than I've ever experienced and I decided to never return. Today, I thought I'll give it another chance. Again at checkout- rude, entitled, and snarky staff. Plus, they all look like they're miserable. I guess that decorative tissue paper got hit with tariffs? My sale blouse only warranted, "sure you can have a sheet of white tissue paper." Pineapple Porch will be my go to gift shop going forward.

Not like it used to be, but maybe I'm older & established not needing so much anymore…read more But wow, still a nice store. Wear your walking shoes & if you are someone who needs breaks now & again know there is a big cafeteria for you to relax. I see folks sitting in the staged rooms as well. I guess OK?! I'll share pics. The kitchen & home decor is downstairs with the furniture & purchase kitchen/bathrooms/bedrooms is upstairs. Even a staffed playroom for children- check them in, shop, pick them up. I guess the costs are still good. Inflation happened, no doubt. I don't see the selections I used to, just over stocked with the same items to fill spaces. You need to experience this yourself. A big parking deck isn't too hard to navigate. Very large vehicles may be tricky, so if you can drive a smaller car or maybe park outside of the desk is a good option.

IKEA is still my favorite stopping point in downtown Atlanta. I love the simple and practical items…read morethey carry. IKEA members still get free (very good) coffee in the upstairs restaurant. Today we had 8 pieces falafel with garlic dressing on couscous $4.99. Not bad. However, my first choice was Salmon salad plate. It had slice of raw salmon, lettuce and potato salad on it. They only had two plates, and I missed it because I let people go ahead of me on line. This was 11:15 am. When I asked for more , I was told that they didn't have enough employees to prepare more. So sad! I will always support IKEA but I'm not so impressed with the cafeteria anymore.

Nearly all of the booths in this store are great and I will give credit to those who spend their time and money to have them on display... but I do have experiences in here that completely ruin our time. This includes these two old women that work at the checkout, I am not sure that they work there everyday, but I know that they are in there whenever my dears and I are. Now these two old angry women are very very passively rude and will make you feel dumbed down each time you try to buy or ask something; looking at you like you're an alien.... Along with this, over half of the store smells like sewage.... Have more mercy on us odd folk and fix your pipes, please.

WHOO! THESE PRICES BITE!…read more This little antique shop is located in downtown Dawsonville. I always enjoy visiting local furniture stores when I am in town for festivals because you just never know what you will find. This particular store had mostly furniture items placed in several rooms. I felt that the prices were a bit high for the quality of the pieces and the area. Now, I don't know if these were "festival" prices or everyday prices but several, (not all), of the price tags gave me pause. If you are looking for antiques, it is an option but I would prefer to just drive up to Dahlonega for great selection and pricing.

I have been to many antique shops in Georgia as well as North Carolina, but this shop is the best I have ever encountered. The employees were so friendly and nice and the items were all in excellent shape, well placed and reasonably priced. There was an upstairs as well as a back area full of a variety of items. As you walk in the place smelled wonderful and clean. We met the owner's mother and she was a delight; we hope to return on our next visit to Ellijay, Ga. I highly recommend this store and if you're in the area, suggest you stop in and check it out. Congratulations to the owner.

But what I love best about Rife is that they can and will custom make items for you based on your vision. I wanted live edge wood shelves for my great room and had an idea on the size and materials I wanted. Eric at Rife drew up a sketch, helped me pick out a nice slab of wood for the shelves, and Tim constructed it! And with the left over wood from the slab I chose, they built a nice little live edge table! I am happy that Rife is literally just up the road from me and constantly has different things to consider.
