If you are looking for beautiful, higher end, handmade goods, this store has so much to offer!…read moreEvery time I want to send a gift to someone from Collinsville, Carol and Co. is at the top of my list. Beautiful salad bowls, soft scarves, and now colorful face masks (complete with nose wires and non-woven filter inserts) have found homes with my friends and family. This season, for a cute gift, I'd recommend a fiber art clutch purse, a face mask, and a small bottle of hand sanitizer (green tea scent) - it was a huge hit for my mom! Carol has a lot of in-depth knowledge both about the products themselves and the artisans who create them. Many products are made locally, and ones from further afield are carefully curated. Carol has been especially accommodating during the pandemic. She has lots of info and photos on her website (including options for online shopping and shipping), can arrange video calls for questions, and she is happy to arrange curbside pick-ups from her store.

There were so many unique gift & decorative items that would delight many of my friends, family members and me. I wish I had taken a picture of the item that drew me in, a silver little sculpture that says "You are my sunshine," which will be a meaningful gift I can't wait to give. I also love love the glass hummingbirds that were hanging from the ceiling. There were all kinds of art here, including gorgeous fingerless gloves made from recycled cashmere. I may have to come back for those too. If you're strolling Collinsville, don't miss this place.

You'll find jewelry, hair accessories, Christmas ornaments, clothing, candles, home decor and more. The more you walk around the more you'll discover of what they have here. They also have a sale section by the front in the corner. The girls who work here, were all involved in private conversations, none of them were helping any customers. If you were to ask them something, you'd have to interrupt their important conversation. There were a few locations of this store, but now there's just this one left. It's easy to spend some time browsing through everything.

They offer paint and all the supplies you need so you can paint it your self. This is such a unique concept. In addition to the wide assortment of furniture, you'll also find some small locally made goods, like candles and hair accessories. This is a very small store, the items are placed so intentionally, so there is plenty of walking room, without the fear that you'll walk into anything. I really loved Cindarella's Attic, if you're looking for a special accent chair, or a dresser in a unique color this is the place to go.

Jessica is pretty talented when it comes to refinishing furniture so we don't need to pay someone else for their time, since Jessica can do it just as well. She uses great colors, her prices are fair, and she gets some pretty quality pieces. So far we've bought a Thomasville french provincial dresser and a 1930's Art Deco vanity. She does have pretty nice costume jewelry (not really my thing I am a dude), paint for furniture, handmade soap and other assorted items (we got some pretty sweet porcelain door knobs too). We haven't attended one of her classes, but on Saturdays you can learn how to paint furniture (shabby chic style), and you leave with the piece you worked on. If you appreciate things like dovetailed drawers and actual wooden furniture check this place out.

Overall, wonderful experience and great people. *when looking for alterations- i highly recommend avoiding Nataliya Alterations. I know this shop is nearby but do not do this to yourself! She altered a dress that began as too large to too small (Not a weight change.. this was within a couple weeks-to the point that it wouldn't zip). She hemmed the dress too short and uneven. She changed the overall style of the back of the gown. On top of all this all cuts and alterations were uneven and unfixable to a delicate gown. Do not put yourself through this..

When I finally got the owner on the phone she was very rude and made it seem like I was a burden to her. Her questions seemed more like an interrogation than trying to help. Finally asked for inspo pics which I gave her and then she ghosted me. Not really sure why you would make it so difficult for someone to shop at your store. She seemed knowledgeable but needs a better attitude. Every other bridal store I have made an appt with allowed me to just book it and were happy for the business.

It is currently summer, so the inventory is decor for your patio, and pretty woven baskets, and similar summery textures. The lady who I spoke with, I don't know if she's the owner or an employe of The Nutmeg Home, she was so lovely to chat with, and mentioned how pretty soon she has to update the inventory to fall pieces. This store has such a vibrant and fresh look to it. The prices are appropriately priced for most of the items in this store. I can't wait to see what kind of home decor will be there in the fall.
