Elizabeth calls itself a home and garden store, but it's a store you stop by when you have your…read moregarden essentials from other places and want to add extras in the way of decorative items. Most things seem too nice for outdoors, so perhaps they're more for an indoor garden room. Either that or I totally misunderstand the garden part of home and garden. It is a good store to find a nice gift, with the small statues of every kind, clocks, mirrors, pictures, wrought-iron wall ornaments, and even some personal items, like jewelry, scarves and handbags. In the back room is the most beautiful log cabin dollhouse that I've seen in some time. Elizabeth's is a relaxed store, where they've kept the feel of the house. There are two small rooms on the first floor and a larger room with the larger items, upstairs. Despite the limited space, there's still a light feel. In my visits to Elizabeth's there's been something new to see. Certain things are moved to another area, displayed in a different way, giving it a fresh look. The owners seem to have a great deal of retail experience that shows in how they treat their customers and in their down-to-earth attitude -- especially noticeable during the holiday rush shortly after they opened.

Nice collection of gifts but I experienced horrible customer service…read more So, I walked in and said a friendly "hello" the lady behind the counter saw me but did not acknowledge me, kept talking to her colleague/customer - after I decided on an item I wanted to buy, I came over to the counter and stood there to check out, she saw me, never acknowledged me, she proceeded to answer the phone instead before helping me - then, muttered a question, "is this a gift", I politely said "yes it is" - she never said another word, proceeded to wrap it up, put the receipt in the bag and pushed it towards me while she muttered, "thanks" in a very brash @ unfriendly manner. In a world where you can be anything, please be kind and polite. Nice collection for gifts though.

The ladies in the shop are super sweet and very friendly! I'm hoping to take some classes here soon. I noticed some conflicting reviews regarding location. At the time of this review, the shop is at 417 Kildaire Farm Rd in downtown Cary near the new park. Parking is a bit tricky when it's busy but the big parking garage is just across the street.

Unique and brightly colored apparel and gifts "graced" the large front window displays. I was greeted warmly by Lisa. She knew her inventory well and made several suggestions for me; I tried on multiple items including a ruffled dress with metallic thread detail. She educated me about the unique brands behind Queen of Sparkle and Shu Shop sneakers. They carry stretchy Risen jeans, too. You can find lovely pieces to bring a unique look to your everyday wardrobe or for a special occasion. They also offer pretty accessories. Need a gift? You can find it there. I'll be back to see what Gail and Grace will offer for fall as my summer wardrobe is overflowing. Also, I'll be back for holiday gift shopping. Worth a visit! And, why not? It's lovely to be in Apex!
