I have to say the woman who was working Saturday July 8 at 4:30-5:00 PM was the best help I've ever…read morehad in a store! We came a long way to a week-long event and we stayed in Harrisonburg both on the way and on the way back (halfway). I had found the store through Yelp and was eager to visit. We missed the business hours the first trip and got there at 4:50 on the way back. The clerk was so kind to stay open nearly an hour longer so the five of us could shop and see the art and studios. (All of us are artists). She was more than gracious! I'm in a power wheelchair which got caught on the rug at the check out and she was completely unfazed and kind about me thrashing about, causing her to move many things. The prices were a bit steep on many things but that didn't stop me from buying a lot of goodies I've searched for a long time. I left very happy, and so did my companions! We will all gladly go again next year if not before!

Great place ! Artists from a dying art ! I can best describe this by the poem the :…read more THE GLASS-BLOWER BY the red furnace stands Apollo mute, Holding in upraised hands His iron flute. Slowly from back and brow The bright sweat drips; He sets the clarion now Light to his lips, And ever, as he blows, Without a sound His molten music flows, Golden and round. Never from herald's breath In brazen horn, Telling of strife and death Or of peace new-born; From silver clarinet By fingers small To lips of ruby set In raftered hall; From jilted shepherd's reed Plaintively proving How he in very deed Must die of loving- Never from all these came A music sweeter Than this bright sphere of flame With neither sound nor name, Cadence nor metre, That steadily, as he blows On his iron flute, Trembles and swells and glows, Gold-amber, amber-rose, In melody mute. Enough said ! Go enjoy ! Simple !

But, the scheduler was rude and told us that just like hair or nail appointments (which don't require deposits) they can't refund or reschedule the session. We have been shopping at sun spots for years and this has left a bad taste. Will not shop there. Buyer beware!! Also, most of the glass is overpriced compared to other local glass blowers. We only supported because it was a local business, but, this is what happens when you support local businesses.

From plant lovers to Schitt's Creek fans, to dog and cat parents, to social activists - if you need a gift, The Lady Jane has something perfect for them! Highly recommend getting some things for yourself too while you're there. The stuff is hard to resist! I recently needed to buy a gift to ship out to a friend and I was so excited to see that The Lady Jane now offers online ordering and shipping. I accidentally put in the wrong zip code when I placed my order and Sara at the shop called me to confirm the correct address. She even offered to include complimentary gift wrap and a note! You don't get that kind of service at a chain! Sara is a gem. She is so sweet and provides the best customer service. The whole store is such a delight to walk through because everything is so carefully curated and beautifully displayed. Shopping online is wonderful too and I'm thrilled to be able to support this small business even though I no longer live in Harrisonburg.

The used photography gear is not terribly well organized, but if you're willing to dive in and brave the dust, you can find some real vintage gems. They stock newer stuff as well, including all the current Canon EOS DSLR bodies, along with a decent selections of lenses. They always seem to have a staff member knowledgeable about photography in the store; yesterday, I passed a good half hour talking shop with the man behind the counter, and walked away with a new lens at a respectable price. Their other inventory is eclectic, to say the least, but it's the kind of place to go for something unusual. I vacation in this area nearly every summer, and a stop at Glens is always on my itinerary.

The plants are very health with such an interesting assortment. I've purchased multiple different plants that have thrived with repotting once home. Succulents, a large assortment of air plants (I purchased 5 different ones on my recent visit). Other plants I've purchased from their selection include a split rock succulent, a moon plant and some cactus that actually looks like a stem of broccoli. It's a must for anyone interested in house plants and unusual gifts. I find that there are a few plants that are a little pricey for my taste but they are also ones you are unlikely to find elsewhere. In that case they do become a great value. Did I say that I love that place?

I had collected several works of art that needed to be framed. Framing is almost, if not as,…read moreimportant as the piece of art. While I had an idea of what I wanted, I needed help in selecting the right look. My parents had used this framer in the past, so I gave them a call to schedule a consultation appointment (I believe you can also do this via their website) and took my items into the shop. Note, they are following COVID prevention guidance - face masks must be worn, social distancing in the store, limited appointments, hand sanitizer, and partitions between you and the staff member. After I arrived, the staff member viewed the items to be framed and asked me if I had anything in particular in mind regarding framing. Then she pulled together several mats/frames for me to view. It was impressive how she pulled what I was envisioning, but with her expertise took it a step further to make it perfect. I was thrilled with everything. And, I was even more thrilled with the price being within my budget. Since I was getting ready to move, they quickly worked to get everything completed within my timeframe and were kind enough to securely wrap the items. They will email you when your items are ready and you can pick up in shop or by curbside pick up. So easy. I am excited to have a go to frame shop that is not only affordable, but makes my artwork be best presented. Plus they have pre-made or assemble yourself frames available should I need something quick. I can't wait to get to my new home and hang everything! Cheers!
