A small but thoughtful shop. Great decor items; both times I've visited I didn't leave empty…read morehanded. Unique items that are both beautiful and useful, and not the same-old selection found at the usual "coastal" Carolina gift shops. Love that they are open until 9pm, a rare find in small town shops it seems (as if no one wants to shop after dinner? I'll never get it). Only two downsides: pricing is a bit all over the map, even for a boutique store. Most items are reasonably priced, but some seem a high ($150 for a pair of salt and pepper shakers) and they don't take American Express. To make the matter worse, after asking me if I had another payment method the clerk told me to "call American Express and let them know their merchant fees are too high" and that a "small business can't afford to take Amex". Talk about poor customer service! This really left me with a sour taste, especially considering that Amex merchant fees are only 1-2% higher than Visa or MasterCard. Going to have to call "BS" that the margins on the products at a boutique decor store don't allow for an additional 1-2% cost. Either way, very unprofessional of the clerk.

They have crafts of great design and of the simplest perfection for those living in the Pinterest-ed Lap of Luxury. Now Yelpers and Yelpettes, y'all can say I'm weird, but this place also smells great, I'd stay all day and just walk around for hours... I mean a few minutes. Yeah, that's what I meant.
