I really liked the bull dog behind the counter, I'm sure he must have smelled my pug on me and started wagging his tail like crazy. I didn't score anything the day I came in but I'm sure if you need to buy a gift suddenly, and you're in the area, SWAG is a great spot for such a need.

They do NOT have a restroom so you have to drive a mile either way if you have to use it. If it was an emergency she said you can go out to the bushes. Yes. This was said. This may be important if you're drinking a lot of tea. If you just want a cup of tea they will serve it in a to go paper cup. They use plastic silverware and paper plates. But if you can spent more on a pot of tea then you can get the nice china. So I ordered the pot of tea for more money because the my mother was having a different tea. So I only had 1 cup of tea and a big pot that I didn't want. I was told that they usually serve "Starbucks" style where you go to the counter and they give you a cup of tea to go ( even if the whole point is not to go to Starbucks but have lovely afternoon with my mother) The only way you get served is if you get the pot of tea. The treats ( cookies and such- no scones in this day) are individually wrapped in ziplock bags) Again if you don't mind a different type of afternoon tea experience and you are just there maybe for the atmosphere and don't need a restroom ( sorry I keep bringing that up but I still can't believe it) then you can indulge in these teas and the company of the lovely owner. It just not our cup of tea.

The next day it was on my credit card bill for $18.10, one day and then the next day Esty changed it to $32.94. This is ridiculous for a tiny 1/2 inch wooden heart. Don't trust Esty' How is it possible that they can keep changing the price on my credit card account. I knew better then ordering through this company i had been warned by many friends. But the darn heart was perfect . AND they never answer the phone, they make it very hard to complain and ask for a refund. Scamers they are!

I worked for a florist in Providence, RI while attending the Rhode Island School of Design. I enjoyed floral design very much and I had a natural flair for it, probably because I'm an artist and have an "eye" I visited Mar Floral to see if the shop might need help. The owner was beyond condescending and in a barely concealed disdain let me know she had "kids" coming home from college that would be her underlings and no, she did not need my help. Flat out rude. Zero warmth, zero interpersonal skills. Maybe she fakes it with her paying clients but no thanks, I would definitely take my business elsewhere.
