The best thing about Blue Heron is the fact that there are choices. Gemstones, arrangement, color, size, etc, all can be made to order. I ordered a custom bracelet as a gift for my mother, and despite the fact that it had over 5 types of precious stones and gems, including freshwater pearls, it only cost $63. When I was picking up my order, the attendants were enthusiastic and genuinely enjoyed their work, which means a lot. This company is a fusion of creativity, ethical trade, and the wonderment of knick-knacks. I mentioned to the employees how their products are so much better than the blandness of Helzbergs, or any other run of the mill Gem A + Metal B = $500 jewelry shop. Helzbergs is boring at its core, and with Blue Heron, you don't have to settle for boring everything is original and much more outspoken.

My husband and I tried out this antique store for the first time on one of the first Fridays of the…read moremonth in the afternoon. It was a fun place to look at the wide variety of antiques. The service was good and the ladies were fun and friendly. They have a lot of merchandise of a wide variety throughout the warehouse. There were some things that I thought were reasonable, and there were other things that I felt were out of price range, but I believe that's individually priced by the person selling it. I purchased two handcrafted notecards with envelopes by a local artist. They were along the price range of a Hallmark card or slightly under. We would recommend this particular store!

I stopped by in December and they had the best Christmas and holiday decor. I was also able to find gifts for a few people on my list. I think they have a great selection and things are generally reasonably priced. I am not a vintage expert, but I still like the pieces they have. The second floor is my favorite, but the third floor has a coffee shop. Definitely stop by this place for a treasure hunt!

I love this antique mall. It is situated in a nondescript strip mall in Olathe, but once you are…read moreinside it is like stepping into a whole new (beautiful) world. It is a very decent sized mall-large enough to make it worth a special trip, small enough you don't need to put your feet up when you are done. The mall is laid out neatly. Each booth is curated and displays are creative and attractive. There is no new or crafty stuff, which has taken over some antique malls. I never leave without buying something, and I have been there dozens of times. Every time I am there I see a dealer or two cleaning and adding things to their booths. The turnover rate on booth product is great-I can go to this mall two or three times a month and feel like I am seeing all new things each time. Some antique malls in the area I only visit once or twice a year because things just seem to sit around-not this one! This place has something for everyone-my husband loves to browse this place. The best part about this mall-it is a high quality mall-a great place to source furniture and decor for CHEAP. The prices here are very reasonable for the area. Also, it is great to have a nice antique mall in this area, and not have to drive into the city to get my fix. GO! It will be worth it.

Kat greeted me right away and said if I needed any help to ask. I browsed for a long time because there are so many little things to look at. I could easily spend an hour just exploring every little thing. I bought some incense, a couple of 7 day candles, a lucky cat, an incense holder and two books and the prices were VERY reasonable. If you love incense, this is the place for you. So much to choose from! Plus the store smells LOVELY! I have a lot more I want to explore. I'm just beginning to explore Wicca, so I look forward to many more visits and purchases. I wanted some book recommendations for beginners and Kat was so helpful. She showed me several books, took the time to show me what I'd get out of each one and even tell me about the authors. Thank you, Kat! Love this place!

Do people really like these? They look like odd, christian voodoo dolls...weird. On the surface, this place looked like it carried all the trinkets viable to adorn a nice, suburban house for holiday or not. They also had a pretty nice knitted section of unique gloves, hats and scarves, some candles and bath soaps too. But if you look a little closer, you'll notice that things might be a little too funky for your average housewife. The purses maybe a bit too diy, or the gloves too chunky for your average wearer. I'm not truly sure how I feel about this store. I definitely found it entertaining to walk around, and was surprised by the whole back section of stuff.

This place was pretty adorable I must admit. Just a sweet little store with home decor that's a bit zany but every bit inspiring. Much of the works are done by national artists/designers with a few sprinkles of locals. Much of what's available had a story behind it. As was the case with my favorite item, these watercolor prints with some random story/quote from Story People's Brian Andreas. The shop carries an assortment of feel-good items like karmic chimes and little pottery people-shakers with beady little eyes that will bring you good fortune or so it said on the tag. I was even fortunate enough to be offered a whiff from a new diffuser scent that just came in to the store. It was Coffee. MMMMMM. If you know me, I'll take a nice bean under my nose anytime. After that little connection, I took a nice liking to this place.
