I enjoy local boutiques and understand you will pay the standard retail rate, unlike going to…read morebigger department stores that can afford discounts. This boutique carries Jellycat stuffed animals, Voluspa candles, and adorable kids clothing. It's beautiful in there. But unfortunately I can't recommend this store due to feeling unwelcomed and judged. Not sure if it was because I'm a minority or because I was casually dressed, but every look from the staff seemed to be a quick scan to my hands and pockets to make sure I'm not stealing anything. It was incredibly uncomfortable and offensive. Which is too bad, since my daughter would have loved that store and I would have loved to purchase a few items there. Oh well, I can find those same items elsewhere and save some money and the hassle.

I want the owner to decorate the whole entire world, because the place just dazzles the eye with beautiful little details, and it just makes me so happy to be here. I try to pop in whenever I'm in Texas Corners, which is one of the shop local hotspots in our area with so many local restaurants, a stellar spa, and great little shops like this. Things can be a little spendy here (Lilly Pulitzer is among the brands they carry for a comparison point), but they have to sales racks right now so it's a great time to find the perfect gift at the right price.

Everything here is so exquisite and beautifully displayed that I kind of want to move into that corner and live here. The shop is mostly tailored toward moms with some money to burn (or those shopping for to-die-for baby shower gifts: great gift items for mom plus the most adorable baby clothes, shoes, books, and decor. They also host monthly workshops. In June, guests can paint pennants/flags, and in July they've got a terrarium workshop that sounds amazing. They're also open late on Art Hop Fridays (the first Friday of each month) and they had an ice cream food "truck" (actually a bike-based business) visit in May. Yummo!

I've had satisfactory experiences here bringing in items for them to buy. Most of the time I don't get the cash I was hoping for, but I also know I am paying for the convenience of them paying me on the spot. As for the selection of merchandise, this is my favorite place to buy children's books. I could spend hours and hours looking through their extensive collection. Most books are $1.50 apiece, and they often are on sale. Typically I get rid of stuff we no longer need for a huge stack of books costing nothing out of pocket. And that's gold.

There tends to be a difference between a thrift shop (like Goodwill, and religious mission operated…read morebusinesses like St. Vincent DePaul) and a second hand store (generally pricier, higher product quality, and operated under a more traditional business model). This place seems like a hybrid of both. Prices seem to be right around the Goodwill range or even less (and like Goodwill, they were offering 50% off of certain colored tags). I hope you've got Macklemore playing in your head because I know I do. I got the velcros ... Anyway, decent variety of older games and toys, lots of kids clothing in a wide range of sizes, even some maternity bras and clothing for mothers, and a huge rack for shoes in the back. As is off in the case, there were three times as many girls shoes as boys. The spot is definitely way off the beaten path -- tucked in the very back corner of a strip mall at the corner of Gulll and Sprinkle roads (if you've found Main Street Pub you've got the right building -- it's around the back).

Early this year in summer, we wanted to have our kid's birthday party at a place where not just kids but even adults have fun and are involved. And with Bricks and Minifigs we hit jackpot. Allison was super nice throughout the process, helped us work through some questions that we had. She ensured that she personally made us feel comfortable and met all the stuff we needed. She is very creative and made the birthday party cater such a memorable experience!! They have a private party room and they had 2 birthday planners with us throughout the event, right from the time we entered till we left. The make kids play super fun car race games, and they had a Lego building competition which adults were more involved in than kids. It was amazing to see that! All kids got very cute party favours by building their own Lego Minifigures!! They have a tie up with Schultz bakery and had an adorable Lego cake and Lego cake pops!!
