We ordered six individual salad bowls with a Wood duck image burnished into the side of each one…read more The work, both on the bowl and the image, was exquisite. Burned into the bottom of each bowl is John McLeod's signature, as well as care instructions and Vermont Bowl's logo. They are truly works of art and the wood! The wood is simply stunning. With Donna's expert help, we chose Yellow Birch in the Tulip shape, as the color would show off the image well and the shape would make it easy to burnish. The customer service was fast, the shipping was very reasonable, and the product terrific. We are so proud to give this hand-crafted gift to our good friends. We are sure they will order a matching family-sized salad bowl to go with. What a find!

Baby / youth clothes, adult / young adult clothes including plus size, bags of all kind, shoes for all ages, socks & intimates. While I was browsing through I noted that they definitely had great brands including some more on the lux side - Juicy Couture, Steve Madden, Hollister clothes, and Michael Kors. As always, they have kitchen and bakeware finds, bedding and bath towels etc, plus my favorite - a pet section with tons of dog / cat beds! 10/10 recommend and I am so happy to see it in this area. Finally a great place to shop for clothes and fashion finds locally for great value and price.

(Although he did have another customer to take care off -- and his direction was simple to the other employee... order the item like normal, not on the registry and price adjust to what her return was). Even I understood his instruction. All Jim did was huff and puff and "ohh my Gawwwd". Really Jim? I'm right in front of you. When I told him there's 2 registry's (because the first one was screwed up from my first visit to this location) he about had a blow out! I thought he was going to turn the table upside down! I said "I need someone that wants to help me.. not huffs and puffs." And Jim just slammed my receipt in front of me, again sighing and puffing. No way am I going to be treated like this. I registered here for my wedding because of their so called best wedding registry program.. Yea right! No one was being helpful! All 3 associates had clueless looks on their faces and not one bit of motivation to help me. Unbelievable! I came to this store 2 times and 2 times only, and both times was blown off without any help! The first time when I wanted to add items to my registry, they literally ignored me.. so I ended up adding items online. And having to research my own brands and items online.. no help from associates about their brands/items. Anywho, thank you Don for finally helping me with my registry. I just hope I have no other returns. Not doing THIS again!

I never do this type of thing, but if you are ever in Great Barrington Massachusetts, do not go to…read moreOne Mercantile. I spent the weekend in a small town in Massachusetts, and on the way back to the city we decided to stop by a town called Great Barrington. I researched ahead of time and saw an article from Vogue magazine of places with what we should visit when we are there, and among vintage stores and crystals shops there was this cute home decor and gift shop on the list. I was the one who wanted to go there. And made my friends go there. When we get there, the shop had all these interesting knick knacks and plates, and it resembled a West Elm. They had a section of candles. Now if you know me I LOVE scents and candles. I browsed the candle section and there was a lot of the scent combinations that I never heard of, and to be honest, I do this everywhere with candles because you are buying the scent you have to make sure you like it. I picked up a small travel sized candle that was priced at 8.95 but I was on the fence about it and continued walking around the store and caught up with my friends. I showed them the candle and asked what they thought and they were neutral about it. I was really considering buying that candle, but me and my friends went to a huge Target the day before and spent an ungodly amount of time and an embarrassing amount of money there. Have a huge problem shopping and it is very easy for me to go overboard so I am trying to practice self control. I thought "Milly do you NEED this candle?" I didn't. "Will this candle spark joy?" It won't. No candle would. I set the candle down and continued walking around but I felt the two store employees (a man and a woman who I can only assume are the store owners) eyes on me. They didn't greet me and my friends but they would not stop staring at us. Even when I went up to the register to look at the products they said nothing. Me and my friends were headed towards the door and I saw the woman whisper something to him and he started to follow us, rearranging the shelves near us and circling us but still not saying anything. When he went back the register I talked to my friends "Hey is it me or are we being watched?" My friends confirmed that the vibes were indeed very bad and we decided to leave the store. As we were walking out the door the male store clerk aggressively walked towards me and said "Hey do you have that candle you picked up?" "No I put it down" I said. "Can you show me where you put it?" This dude made we walk through the whole store looking for the candle. It was so humiliating my heart was beating so fast and I was sweating. I went right to the area to where I left the candle and the candle was actually at the FUCKING COUNTER THEY WERE STANDING AT. Had they checked their surroundings for 1 minute they would have saw it, but instead they choose to embarrass me and my friends. If they were really concerned about me stealing they could have approached me. "Hey do you have questions about the products?" "Do you know what scent you are looking for?" Or even a more aggressive "Did you want me to ring that up for you?" All of those things would be problematic but at least it would still have the guise of good customer service. Which brings me to another point, I am the epitome of a dumbass millennial. I drink oat milk matcha lattes, I go to yoga at least twice a week, I live in WILLIAMSBURG, and I have spent lots of money on "crystals" (rocks) that will "manifest abundance." Needless to say I am fiscally irresponsible as fuck. Had they given me the slightest bit of attention and talked to me about the brand story of any of the candles or the sustainability of their 40 dollar salad bowls I would have bought so much shit because to be honest I eat that shit up for breakfast and ask if it's gluten free. Outside of the store I was so angry and embarrassed I couldn't stop crying. My friends were visibly upset and shaken too, I couldn't stop crying so much so that the woman store owner came outside. But instead of listening or asking if I was ok she immediately defended her actions towards me "I just want you to know we do that all the time to everyone, people steal from us all the time" Then it became crystal clear to me why the store owner was outside. It wasn't to check in on me or apologize for bad customer experience (for the record neither the man nor the woman apologized) it was to make HERSELF feel better about the situation. Spend your money somewhere that doesn't make people feel terrible.

We just stocked up in pepper jelly, sugar plum jam, and yummy drink mixers (lemon drop, blueberry lemon mint and pomegranate cosmo), and some mustard dipping sauces and mustards.

I am disappointed in Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Apparently wearing a mask is optional inside the store…read more I watched (and heard) a woman checkout without a mask on. She was quite loud. I moved over to customer service and requested to be checked out closer to the doors. I then asked the manager why a woman was in the store without a mask on. He immediately told me that she had a medical condition. I paused and said then why is she indoors shopping? She was with another person and they were purchasing one small item. Couldn't he at least request that she wait outside for her own safety? (And the safety of the employees and other shoppers?) The cashier, a teenage boy, agreed with me. He said that he notices shoppers aren't even wearing their masks correctly (their noses are exposed) but nobody says anything to them. This worries him. Same story at Hannafords and Dick's. However, at the smaller stores on Broadway, like Uncommon Grounds, shop owners are telling people to leave unless they have a mask on. I've seen that happen too. It's irresponsible for the bigger stores to allow people to shop without masks on. Not only will people get sick, but, if the economy shutters again, they will survive while many smaller stores will close for good. The research consistently shows that wearing a mask protects not only others our community, but also the wearer. We are all in this together, so wear a mask!

At Security they stock the brands that the professionals want to use which are usually not the cheapest, but its what you want. Their business is more focused on experienced heating and plumbing professionals, but they are a decent place for a homeowner to go for a question. I have been to Webb a few times for stuff that Security doesn't have and I have been disappointed each time- it is harder for me to get help there and figure out where stuff is.
