Lynn Turner, an employee, was there to help me figure out what was causing the problem. She went through step by step in the sewing process of my machine and discovered that my needle was bent and it was as simple as that. She put in a new needle and it worked! I was so sure that something complex was the cause, but no!! Whew!! I love that store and have learned a lot with their classes and of course asking many questions when I visit. Thank you Lynn!!

Debby's Hallmark Shop is ok but could be great with better service. the store might be closing or…read morethey might be renegotiating the lease and renovating. The non-Hallmark products are 20% off. Hallmark products are regular price. All sales are final. The store and products are nice but the service leaves a lot to be desired. They were pushy about the bath bombs that I had no desire to look at or buy. I don't need a lecture about being able to use the Hallmark rewards coupon as the products I was buying were not on sale. The Hallmark rewards cannot be used on non-Hallmark products or sale prices anyway. It has always been that way. I think I will stick to buying Hallmark cards online or at Walgreens or the Dollar Store. Service is friendlier.

Cards are a part of our family traditions and Debby's has been my go to since 2018. The folks…read morethere are consistently kind & knowledgeable. Make someone's day, get them a card from Debby's Hallmark. PS: They are dog friendly! (please make sure your dog is socialized)

I love this store. But it seems the people who run it make up the store hours as they go. The…read morewebsite says they are open at 9 am. I'm in their parking lot and it is 10:45am. The doors are locked, nobody is answering my knocking and nobody ever answers the phone. It just rings and rings. No voicemail. Tried the toll free number, call cannot be completed. This is the third or fourth time this exact scenario has happened. However, when they are actually open, I find the selection amazing and the people very pleasant and helpful. I just wish they were open when they say they are.

A&B is pretty much the go-to-place for anyone with a business…read more If you need fixtures, a cash register, tags, bags, racks, shelves, etc. This place has them. They also recycle and reuse TONS of stuff from businesses that have turned over their 'fixtures'. Did you always secretly wish to have a 'Dockers' display rack? Now you can! Even if you do no own a business, this place has some 'interesting' furnishings at super cheap prices. You do have to hunt around, but it's got some cool cases, giant hot dogs with chalk boards, drink coolers.. Hey, maybe you have a collection of oakley sunglasses, you can find a fixture here to display them in STYLE! For the Roadside attraction geek - this place also has an IMPRESSIVE collection of mannequins. They are eerie, because they are all nude, staring at you, while lacking various anatomy. Some of them have interesting names given by the staff - male, female, old young, it's a strange sight. They have a sister store in Greensboro that is even bigger than the Raleigh one! *Note, they also BUY fixtures but don't expect to make bank. They are also cash and carry, they don't deliver much.

We stopped in after leaving our fur baby for surgery to remove a splenic mass, as we were in great need of something to divert our minds, if only for a few minutes. The manager (wish I had asked her name) was so incredibly kind to us, even gifting us a small token for strength before we left. Highly recommend... we'll definitely be back!

They offer all LOCALLY made products, ranging from pottery, ornaments, soaps (they smell and look so yummy), signs, and much more. If you're looking for NC goodies and want to support a local business, this is your place!

Staff are always nice but there has never been more than 2 registers open at a time and most of the time it's just one. They have a huge selection of books....all kinds including children's books. I buy for my kids here all the time. It's just hard to find if you are looking for something specific. They keep up with items from the current season which is nice. Some prices are better than other stores bur some are not. If you sign up to be a member you get emails about current items, discounts on your order and invitations to special events. You don't want to see pictures....it's not pretty but is worth the trip if you have time to look around.

I found the Cocoon Gallery on Yelp, which far exceeded my expectations. First, the historic town of Apwx, NC, is picturesque and charming. My only regret in stopping here is that we arrived after some of the other wonderful shops had closed for the evening. We will definitely be back! The Cocoon Gallery has a terrific selection of pottery, handbags, and jewelry, and the woman who helped us was friendly and welcoming. After debating over several gorgeous and affordable pieces, I ended up purchasing a long pair of dangling earrings made of brass and sterling. They are so prettt and lightweight, I cannot wait to wear them. I highly recommend that you visit the Cocoon Gallery, whether it's a special gift you need or a small indulgence for yourself. Just make sure you allow enough time to walk the street and visit the other shops too.

Cynthia arranged the class for us and the teacher Loretta was so charming and helpful in teaching us the art of making paper flowers. Highly recommend the class as well as the store. The prices are what you would expect for these items, in many cases one of a kind items.
