My husband and I booked the candle making workshop on a Saturday afternoon around 11. It was…read moreabsolutely fantastic! The owner, Bri, was so incredibly friendly and helpful. We really appreciated that she thoroughly explained the process, but made it relaxing and let us work at our own pace! When you are making your candles you can choose from a variety of scents. You are then instructed to make 3 different scent options. Your nose will tell you which one you like best! She was then so helpful to get the wax melted for us and we poured our own candles. It takes about an hour for them to set once poured. However, Bri, was more than ok with us continuing to walk around Main st while the candles set. One tip we thought was awesome was, she held onto our "scent recipes" and once our creations burn out we can always reach back out to have more of our scent creations created. This would be the perfect activity for a weekend with friends, a bachelorette party, or just a cute activity with your someone special!

This was my second time doing the candle workshop (I did candle and perfume last time)! I met a…read morecouple of my friends, from Kentucky, here so we could have a bit of fun and still be able to chat it up. It was only us so that made it even more fun. Eric was so knowledgeable, helpful and patient in helping us create the perfect candle scent, the French way. Be aware that candies need some setting up time before taking them home. I recommend starting your Galena trip here and then go have lunch and/or a stroll in the city before returning to pick up the lovely packaged candle and/or perfume! I really enjoyed hearing the French music in the background as it helped create the perfect atmosphere. This is a great place to gather, have some fun together and create wonderful memories with a souvenir to take home! I highly recommend this place!

Walk of scents . Lots to choose from.

Beautifully packaged to go!

You should stop in! Yelp, I wish you'd get the address correct so next time I stop I can check in! As it is, it has this shop existing about 7 miles west, so when one is standing in the store it says I'm too far away. Darnit! The woman who was working--ostensibly the owner--was so friendly immediately upon walking in that I felt like she really enjoyed just having customers walk around and visit. She chatted with me as I walked through the store (jamming to the Earth, Wind, and Fire she had playing; man they just make me want to move). There's an eclectic mix of goodies here. Lots of wind chimes, wall art, glass artwork, jewelry. I was able to avoid picking up additional rings, and got a few chains for some a few pendants that I have but haven't been able to wear since I don't have a necklace for them. I also appreciated that she helped me think about how I could find similar stores, giving me a couple of keywords to use when looking, since I often struggle to find the type of sterling and gemstone jewelry I like. If (probably when) I visit Galena again I will be stoping at Nature's Treasures. I probably wouldn't have stopped here without others on Yelp mentioning it so thanks folks! It's a cute store and I'm sure I don't need the future rings I'll eventually buy from here.

I needed help and advice, I could find no one. I then found another area that sold finished shelves, again no associate could be found. It was so noisy in the store, it was causing me frustration. The music was loud and playing fast rock, there was a TV in the corner that was loudly talking about cupboards and every few minutes, the "save big money at Menards" song played. The volume to the theme song was louder than the music! Since the store is so big, I called the service desk and asked them to send an associate. I also stated, it was so loud in the store that I thought I was going to have a breakdown! Of course, an exaggerated statement coming from my frustration. Two younger girls showed up with very condescending attitudes. Actually, they were rude. I went back to the lumber area, a young man showed me where shorter boards could be found. I had to go upstairs and carry the 3 boards down the stairs myself. Associate James, walked right by me and made no eye contact. I needed wood screws, I guess I interrupted him by asking where I could find wood screws. He bluntly said, yep, over here. He walked way ahead of me to the screws, when I got there, he waved his hand and said, here they are! The WHOLE experience was AWFUL! I have spent a lot of money in their store, recently having purchased a washer and dryer. I commend associate Stacey, she has always been so helpful and she treats customers with respect.

I'll address this issue first. On my first visit, I purchased a shirt without trying it on in the store. I tried it on at home and it did not fit. It sat in the back seat of my car well past the 7-day return policy period. When I finally got back to the area about a month later, they still accepted an exchange. Very gracious when I would have been willing, too, to just give it back for them to sell again. I am not a very patient shopper, and usually very focused on an item or two and getting in and out fast. But here I find myself perusing the extensive selection of good, clean, and frequently designer offerings in clothing, at least in men's. I love the pricing. Everything I looked at was either $4.29 for shirts, shorts and slacks, or another slightly higher price (maybe $8.29) for items like jackets, outerwear, suit jackets and dress slacks. Makes everything so much easier, like the dollar store! Check it out if you're a vintage or resale fan.
