It's so cute, well stocked and priced, and has amazing gifts for everyone, from the foodie friend to the bearded boyfriend, to the dog mom or dad in your life. You'll be the talk of the holidays when you tick off your gift list at Cocoon! From the silly socks with literary quotes to the immense selection of unique cookbooks, and the gorgeous locally made jewelry, we spent a good half hour browsing around the small but well organized shop. The shopkeeper was pretty low key, which was actually a refreshing change from the folks in stores who follow you around or ask you how you're doing every five seconds. I'm trying to buy a present for my cat, Virginia! Leave me be! I hope to come back here for the slew of fall birthdays and special events in my squad for the inevitable present hunting trip. It's definitely the best place to shop for all my weird pals! :)

He apparently didn't hold the same views as the shirt's statement and demanded that she have a conversation about why she would wear that shirt. She kept saying no, and he wouldn't take the rejection. No one else who worked in the store seemed to care either. If you only want customers to enter your store who share your hateful and ignorant views, you should post a sign outside stating such. There is another antique shop within walking distance whose employees are friendly, helpful, will not harass you, and welcome everyone.

Just because you demand a conversation does not mean you are owed a conversation, regardless of the "rules" you made up, stated OUT LOUD, and tried to enforce. ("you cant wear that and not...") Becoming combative when denied said conversation does not, then, give you the right to LOUDLY make sweeping and untrue generalizations about anyone who does not want to engage you in conversation when all they came in the store for was to browse antiques. (Maybe YOU are the problem? Maybe your unearned entitlement is what makes people not want to engage with you?) When told those generalizations are untrue, you continued to be loudly combative and commented again on the shirt. Thank you for ruining my experience in your store. Yelp readers: if you present female and want to be left alone, better dress modestly and conservatively before entering. As I was told, LOUDLY, by this employee - I had no right to wear what I wore and not engage with him. (If you're asking what I wore, I'm asking you if and why that matters.)

Beautiful store in many more ways than one:…read more Firstly, the SCENT inside the store is aromatherapeutic, but not in a strong herb doctor or mentholated way. It's a gentle smell, perhaps a mixture of the candles / soaps / parfums / teas they carry. Secondly, the ladies that work there are warm and inviting, welcoming us to the shop / offering complimentary iced or hot tea / providing overall GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Next-ly (if that's a word? and I know it's 3rd, I can count, for really), the items offered are a beautiful array of HANDMADE PRODUCTS in a wide price range for: _ home decor (furniture & accessories), _ bath (soaps, perfumes, candles), _ kitchen (some utensils, tea pots, mugs) _ children (clothes, toys), _ wearables (jewelry, some clothing, flash tats) _ gifts (cards, all of the above, and did I mention flash tats? ^ _ ^ ) Let's talk about FLASH TATS some more! Flash tats are these fun metallic temporary tattoos that adults can wear and that I first noticed some yogis wearing about a year ago. I'm into them these days - I came in wearing some - and chatted w/one of the ladies there about the small 2-pack of gold feather flash tats I was holding while she packaged the delicious tea I was purchasing. She said that her flash tats lasted her about 2 weeks which, if you're familiar with flash tats, you know that not all of them are made equal. Some come right off when you put them on but the ones sold here are long-lasting! _ GOLD FEATHER FLASH TATS ($6.50, 2-pack) She also explained that the tea I was purchasing which was the hot tea sample of the day - Cinnamon Vanilla Rooibos (red in color and looking lovely in the clear glass teapot heated by a tea light candle below it - which I think they sell and I wish I took a photo) was only 1 tbsp of the blend steeping for a few hours, and that it won't (and hadn't) become bitter. Also, the proceeds for this tea vendor go towards AIDS research! Gold star with a cherry on top! _ CINNAMON VANILLA ROOIBOS ($2.50/ounce = about 6 tbsp for this specific blend) After I purchased the tea and flash tats (9th mention here, haha!), I said to keep the change and instead of keeping in the register or putting it into a tip jar, they put it into a jar for DONATING TO CHARITY (which one I don't recall)! 2nd gold star with a cherry on top, a la mode (oui, that is vanilla ice cream). So come here if you're looking for a gift for yourself or someone else! It's a lovely experience for the senses in this lovely atmosphere of Nectar. Have and will return! Highly recommended.

Buyer Beware. In my past 30 years of various home improvements and renovations, I've usually been…read morevery happy with the people and businesses I've dealt with. Marigold Home was a glaring exception. If you buy something in the shop, with a price tag on it, you'll be fine. But if you get into any ordering with them, WATCH OUT! I attempted to buy Hunter Douglas window treatments from them. I'd bought them for our apartment in Brooklyn and was very happy with the entire experience. The experience with Marigold Home was completely different. Most businesses, when you're placing a special order, will write up a quote, detailing what you're purchasing and how much you'll pay for it. Not Marigold. They don't want to give you that because they say people might take that and go elsewhere for a better price. It was my mistake for not stopping right there. I allowed myself to be gullible and believe they were an honest business. After they took my deposit and placed the order, only then, and only after I requested it three more times, was I given a printed quote. Even then, it wasn't as detailed as what I'd gotten from the dealer in Brooklyn (L.W.P. Home Products) before they'd asked for any money from me. Just to assure myself Marigold's price was somewhere in the ball park (because it had seemed so expensive right from the start), I submitted a request to LWP, without telling them I'd already had a quote, because I didn't want LWP to give me a competitive quote, just the usual quote they would give. They did so right away, and it was literally HALF the price Marigold was charging. (I called LWP then and told them what was going on. They said they could arrange a local installer to do the installation. If only I'd called them first, I'd never have had to have this awful experience!!!! But of course it was too late by then, as I'd already been fleeced of my deposit.) Most, if not all, Hunter Douglas dealerships give discounts off the "Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price." Not Marigold. Not only don't they give any discount, they also add exorbitant installation costs ($400 for approximately one hour's work) and "freight" charges (around $200) that I wasn't charged for by the other dealer. In the end, I was so disgusted with Marigold that I didn't take the shades. I paid the deposit, which covered their costs with Hunter Douglas, their "freight," Maria's time in coming to my house to measure my 7 small windows (four of which were all the same size anyway), and left enough over for Maria and her husband to have several expensive dinners out. That was about $1500., but it would have cost me another $1500. to have the shades. It was a painful and expensive lesson in being gullible, but I will never make that mistake again. I will eventually deal with the shades the way I have in the past, by going to Home Depot and ordering shades which I will install myself. Unfortunately. There are other local dealerships for Hunter Douglas - and whatever other products Marigold Home carries - and I strongly suggest you check around before ordering anything from Marigold.
