Everything was set up and streamlined efficiently, and the owner and staff were so sweet and helpful, checking on everyone's progress and taking the time to answer any questions we had. The owner, who started this business during the COVID-19 pandemic, was so knowledgeable about scent creation and candle-making, and I'll definitely have to be back to sniff and buy some of her creations. In addition to her handmade candles, the store is also stocked with little trinkets, art, jewelry and collectibles from small local artists. Highly recommend stopping by this hidden gem on Main Street, and supporting a small, Asian woman-owned business!

We were looking for bracelets and I have a very small wrist so it's hard to find ones that fit with out chains hanging down. The owner offered to take out links for me which was so nice and I may go back to get the bracelet that I loved. In addition, the Valentine's merch was so over the top cute that I wanted to buy everything from socks to chocolates and everything in between. Merchandise is all displayed very nicely and prices are very reasonable. I didn't snap any photos but I highly recommend this store if you need a great quality gift and you're on Montana Avenue!

The outside of the shop had a beautiful bed of flowers and a gorgeous window display decorated for the Fourth of July holiday. Such cute decorations to display in your own home! The inside of the store was surprisingly smaller than expected but that added to its charm. I just came here to browse this time but I did find some nice items that would make great gifts!
