Last year, my mother in law asked to see a vase and was told she really couldn't afford it anyway so they werent going to bring it down. I was appalled. This store should be avoided at ALL cost. There are plenty of other home goods and decor store who are absolutely kind to the people who come into their store.

I wasn't acknowledged by either of the employees when I was there, though they welcomed pretty much everyone else that came in whilst I was there. Oh, well, their attitude may have saved me some money. I did happen to be in there on "splurge day", so I took one of the chocolate covered strawberries they had for customers. They were pretty good, so, thanks for that.

BE visually AWAKENED to the wonderful store; of an amazing fashion selection paired with a high end decor both integrated into a chic boutique! Walk in and be welcomed by the NEW friendly, pleasing, and helpful STAFF!!! A friend and I had been greeted pleasantly and assisted by Nancy and Robin. We loved the boutique so much that we visited the down town shop twice and made it a point to stop at the main store right off 20, across from the gas station and up the hill from Ulysses S. Grant home. We even got to meet the wonderful owner herself; Robin! I enjoy the perfume and candle selection too.

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!

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!

I can not say enough WONDERFUL things about Becky and the staff at Valley!! My flowers were gorgeous and budget friendly. I brought them lots of pictures of what I was looking for and they were able to create exactly what I wanted. The bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces and flowers for my cake were stunning! All of the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The flowers were delivered to my venue on time with no issues. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Valley Perennials for any event and even just to send a loved one a bouquet - I continue to use them every year to send my mom flowers for Mother's Day!

We had our summer wedding in Galena and was given the name of Valley Perennials as an option for flowers. I am big into research so I took to the internet to find reviews, pictures, etc. After finding it hard to gather information about Galena business I took a chance on Valley Perennials based on the pictures on their website. I could not have made a better decision. It is a family run business that is down to earth and really understands what it means to have a wedding budget. I met with one of the owners Becky and discussed my vision, and with her guidance everything was stunning. She captured the look and feel of the wedding and left people amazed with the flowers. She even takes it that extra mile with her special touches. I had no idea what to expect when it came to the cost of flowers but I found Valley Perennials to be really reasonable. Becky even gave me options with different price points to make sure I was comfortable with the budget. This place is a must for any bride planning a wedding in the Galena area!!
