    Firefly - More cool vibe bead necklace's

    Firefly

    (22 reviews)

    $$

    I wanted to convert a vintage bag chain into a necklace, but was struggling to find proper hardware…read morethat would look good with the chain. (Ex. Size, color, plating) I had checked craft shops and stores, but couldn't find anything that was a good match. Earlier during a quick trip to Chapel Hill, I remembered this shop was in the same mall as Mulberry Silks and we decided to stop in during our next visit. It's kind of across from Mulberry Silks and is near a ladies boutique and the CBD cafe. The shop offers jewelry making tools, beads, closures, and some pre-made items as well. There is a small workspace where you can make jewelry there and I suspect that they may hold workshops or classes from time to time. (There are signs saying that the staff could also try to design/help create custom jewelry pieces for customers if they are interested.) I believe we've run into the owner both times I've gone in and she's usually working on something but will look up and greet customers. If they have questions, she is happy to help. I like that there are closures and jewelry parts available that are 18 KT plated gold, and in addition, there are some gold filled ones as well. We did ask the owner to take a look at our chain to see what size of the 18 KT plated closures would fit or suit the chain we brought best. She pointed out two sizes and felt we could go either way. We didn't have the proper tools at home to install the hardware onto the chain, so the owner was gracious to let us use the workspace and tools to attach the hardware to the chain. Prices for the hardware were reasonable. Also I appreciated that she had the workspace available for us to utilize when we needed the correct tools to add them to the chain. With regard to parking, it can be a toss up. There are a few surface lots you can park in, but one of them is shared with Harris Teeter and can get full.

    After seeing a few other bead stores the area, Firefly is sensational. Not only is it beautifully…read morelaid out, but the selection of beads is amazing. And then there's the owner, Melanie ---- so helpful, accomplished, and personable. Melanie creates some wonderful pieces of jewelry. Anyone having ideas for creating something from beads will have a hard time deciding which ones to use; however Melanie is there to help in any way. If I could give more than five stars, I certainly would.

    Carr Mill Mall

    $$$

    We did a little shopping here between a wine tasting, and a dinner reservation nearby. My biggest…read moreconcern is that the shop seem to be well attended, but also overpriced, and frankly, you can't even use the bathroom without talking to somebody who owns one of the establishments to get a code to use the restroom. Doesn't feel very inviting and the parking requirements. Here are such that if you even leave this establishment for five minutes, your car is gonna be towed and you're gonna get a bill for over $200. It just gives me the willies to come back.

    We've been to Carr Mill Mall for a couple restaurants…read more 1. Tandem (New American cuisine) https://www.yelp.com/biz/tandem-carrboro-carrboro and 2. Thai Station https://www.yelp.com/biz/thai-station-restaurant-carrboro Both Tandem and Thai Station are good restaurants worth visiting. You can read my reviews of each for more info. We might come here for the other restaurants (e.g., Grata Diner, Venable Rotisserie Bistro), but other than that, there's not much for us here. Carr Mill Mall is a shopping mall with restaurants, a grocery store, and local boutique shops. The mall is named after Julian Carr, whom the Town of Carrboro was named after in 1913. It used to be a cotton and hosiery mill. The cotton mill was built in 1898. The original brick structures have been renovated and repurposed into the mall it is today. Like other converted developments across the country, the complex has an industrial/warehouse vibe and it's got some charm to it. The grocery store is Weaver Street Market, a local chain of cooperative (community-owned) grocery stores. There are four Triangle locations. The aforementioned Venable Rotisserie Bistro is presumably named after what the Town of Carrboro used to be called, Venable. The mall is located in/near the heart of Carrboro, within a short walking distance to a lot of local businesses. According to Yelp reviews from 2011 to 2023, this property has been strict with parking enforcement and quick to tow. Being from a big city like Atlanta, I'm used to it, but I wouldn't expect it in a town like Carrboro. I've personally never had an issue parking here and judging from the reviews, I wouldn't leave my car here to walk to another place off-site.

    Twin House Music - Showroom

    Twin House Music

    (5 reviews)

    This is my new favorite music store in the Triangle. They've got an awesome selection of guitars,…read moreall of them are well set-up, and it's a super comfortable environment in which to try out instruments. If you're looking for a guitar in the Triangle, don't buy anything before you check out Twin House.

    Below is a timeline of my experience with Twin House. To start on a positive note: the employees…read moreare very kind. The rest of my experience has been poor. December 6, 2023: I bring my bass in for a setup. I'm told it should be done in three weeks (before Christmas).  Some time after Christmas: I called to ask for an update. I'm told that, due to a backlog, it should be ready within the first week of January.  Some time after the first week of January, 2024: I call for an update (since Twin House does not provide updates; you have to ask for them). Twin House has had a chance to look at my bass now. The wiring is all funky; the pick-up doesn't seem to work. They need to get in touch with Ernie Ball to get their hands on schematics.  About two weeks later: I come into the store again. I don't need a cord, but I buy one to cover for the real reason I'm there: to get an update. I'm shown the schematics (the schematics arrived and this is another update I never received). We use an iPad to look up the parts that are needed. We find them. We discuss prices of parts plus labor. I'm given an estimate. We agree to move forward. I'm told the parts will be ordered the next day and should arrive in 7-10 days (but who knows when the order was actually put in). I'm also told that once the parts arrive, it should be a one-day turnaround to get them installed.   Maybe two weeks later: I ask about the parts. I'm told that whoever is shipping them had some kind of personal thing come up, so there was a delay in shipping the parts. February 7, 2024: I email Twin House about how I've had to leave town due to a death in the family and will not be back until February 15th, unable to pick up the bass until February 16th. I receive a kind reply, telling me there's no rush for me to pick it up.  February 8, 2024: I ask for a reminder of what parts were ordered. This was really me softballing in a question in hopes that I'll be provided an update.  February 11, 2024: Still no response. I remind Twin House that supposedly parts were ordered three weeks ago and I have to imagine they've arrived by now. I end the email telling them I'll be checking for updates. February 15, 2024: Due to the costs incurred from traveling to LA for the death in the family, I cannot afford this repair anymore. I communicate this via email. This finally prompts a response.  February 16, 2024: Twin House responds with a legitimate reason for why they've been incommunicado. They propose that I just pay for the parts since they're specialty items the store doesn't typically carry.  February 16, 2024: I respond a few hours later that, yes, I will find a way to cover the cost of the parts. We should move forward. February 16, 2024: Around 5:30 PM, I drive to Twin House. The technician is there. He says he hasn't started on it because he heard that maybe I couldn't pay for it. I reaffirm that I can pay for it and actually offer to pay before leaving. He says that isn't necessary. He tells me he'll get to work on it first thing Saturday morning.  February 17, 2024: Saturday. I call at 3 PM to see how it's going and am told it's going on the bench now. Not sure what happened to "first thing in the morning," which is 11 AM, but whatever. February 18, 2024: I call Twin House and ask to speak to the repair shop. I'm informed they don't come in on Sundays. I ask if he knows if my bass was completed the day before. He tells me it was not. I tell him I'm coming to take it back. I understand that I'm not the only customer Twin House is dealing with. I understand that getting the schematics was an ordeal. I understand that after the parts were finally ordered, it took longer than expected to receive them. Sometimes things are just out of our hands.  What I don't understand is why I was kept in the dark during the entire process, or why I was never given a realistic timeline for when my bass would be ready, or when the parts arrived, or any of that. The only ways I've ever been able to find out what was going on were when I called or physically entered the building and tried as politely and patiently as possible to ask for updates.  Everyone I've dealt with at Twin House has been super nice. I love the employees. What has absolutely driven me up a wall is the customer service. I've never felt there was any sense of urgency in completing a project. At this point, it kind of feels like I'm being pranked, or that this is some kind of sick social experiment to see how long they can make a customer wait without ever delivering anything, so I had to pull the plug and take my bass back nearly two and a half months after dropping it off. Twin House has amazing reviews and I was excited to do business with them. I was beyond excited to have found a place with passionate employees who seemed to genuinely care. Unfortunately, their lack of communication and urgency prevented me from doing that.
