I got to talking about running and he knew all the best organized races and weekly meet ups... has me wanting to move to Lawrence more and more.

They're long lasting with a variety of scents. I like seasonal usually. I've bought pillows, their fresh build-your-own flowers, locally made pottery coffee cups, you name it. Each product doesn't disappoint. The only idea that I had was that they may consider figuring out more of their online store or presence. I would love to buy online and ship now that I'm out of town.

We've bought wonderful framed and unframed decor for our new home, along with some plant pots, ceramic and glass containers, and an authentic brass fire hose nozzle. I can't remember what else! I could buy more, but food, the mortgage, etc... Chris, the owner, is an incredible woman and savvy business owner. She is warm and welcoming. It's obvious from the second you walk in that she takes great care curating the items she sells. The way the items are arranged makes it fun to browse, and she never pressures you. Often there are only one or two of something, so what you see changes every time you visit and there is always something new to tempt you. Chris has exquisite taste, and she is clearly committed to choosing high-quality products that often are locally made. She knows about the owners and artists, which really adds to the shopping experience. I've brought someone with me each time I've visited. It's a pleasure to introduce people to this charming store. We take our time and always walk out giddy. I can't say enough about enchanting Nesting Goods! Let's all support small businesses, especially in a town like St. Joseph, where so many people are trying hard to create a destination!

There are so many amazing coffee shops in the kansas city area, and every time I try a new one it…read morebecomes my favorite. This one was no exception, but I do believe it might remain the reigning champion. First of all it is a coffee shop in the basement of a church, and its name implies that it is religious. So the reviews that act surprised or give lower ratings for that reason are silly gooses. The ambiance is outstanding! It is a whole vibe. You are surrounded by books, some of the tables have pew seating, there is a kids area, they sell T shirts cheap ($7) and used books at an amazing deal. New books are priced as marked with regular retail pricing. I was shocked at the number if new hooks they had. The crowning jewel for me was they have natural house made (or local bought) syrups so you are not getting a run of the mill commercially based anything. I expected that to limit their menu but it didn't! I had the caramel crunch chai, hands down best chai I have ever tasted. I wanted to chug it. My friend loved her drink that had winter mint! I also splurged on a winter pomegranate spritz and cake pops to go. This is a coffee shop where you come in, slow down and enjoy the experience. I do not recommend this place if you want a quick coffee to go. The Barista was exceptional and she put time and effort into each drink. She did get backed up because she was all alone when a coworker called in and got slammed! She was clearly overwhelmed but never once rushed a conversation or made any of the customers feel like she didn't have time for them. Rare beauty in this rushed world we live in. She encouraged checking out the gorgeous sanctuary and stained glass windows upstairs in the sanctuary and shared stories about them. I never once felt like I was in a church basement- if that makes sense. It was warm, cozy and inviting. This is my new weekly spot! PS the kids area has a full tote of scrapbooking stuff, and the tables all have cards where you can write up a handwritten note and they send them of somewhere to spread joy and kindness. It does not get better than this.

The last I knew that the space had been an events / wedding hall, a B and B and vacant. Little did I know was that it had been reformed as an Anglican church and the coffee shop was being ran by the church in the basement. The vibe was just kinda weird...it's basically a cluttered Christian book store and gift shop serving coffee and sandwiches. The staff were polite but not very welcoming; I felt like I was intruding on a private function that didn't want me there. I took my Mocha Cream Breve' and went out on the patio for some views of the beautiful historic structure. When asked about their source for coffee beans, I was told "we get em from someplace in Arkansas". OK!?? I'm sure that some demographic here in the bible belt will find this basement quaint and charming, but it just gave me a desire to go spend my money at a more secular venue.

After coffee, we made our way over to this beautiful house turned into a candle and home store. As I have frequently visit this place multiple times it gave me an opportunity to get my supply of candles, the smell when you first walk in is lovely.

Only thing is the pricing is a bit high... the T-shirts are thin and soft - but some adult ones are $36 (XL men's) and the kids ones are $32 (size 8 kids). I was hoping the kids one would be half the price of the adult one bc they usually are in most other stores. This is a chain and it's also at MCI Kansas City airport (Concourse A - MCI only has 1 terminal w 2 Concourses A & B) and the prices there are only $1 more expensive so if you don't want more stuff in bags, but it at the airport once you get through security.

It's not just a few balloons twisted and tied together to adorn a doorframe, no, these are carefully designed, well-executed exhibits that leave you wondering how it all comes together. My first experience with Up, Up, & Away was a balloon display - during COVID, mind you - for our youngest daughter at her 9th birthday. The colors were phenomenal and she simply LOVED unicorns back then. The display was sensational and held up very well in October weather, making for a golden memory for our family. But over the years, I have followed some of their artistic displays through social media and word-of-mouth, since my wife is friends with the owner, Johnna (and I'm not a paid spokesman). Whether it is celebrating milestones, sportsball, civic events, or just media happenings, Up, Up, & Away delivers extraordinary work. You have probably even seen some of their work in the KC area and just not known to whom to give the credit. The point is, you can plan your own displays or you can hand over design to the creative geniuses who deliver again and again. Are they cheap? Heck no! But the value is unmatchable and the the color palette never seems to find a boundary, and the balloons are durable for many purposes. You just can't miss with these top-notch artists. Find them on social and peruse their work; prepare to be amazed!
