SWEET AND FEMININE!…read more This is an adorable little gift shop, very girly. For those of you who know, it reminds me of Piper Lilies or the shops in downtown Duluth. As soon as I entered the store, I encountered this wonderful smell that could not be captured because it was a mix of candles and scents. It was so inviting! There are a variety of gift ideas here, scarves, perfumes and lotions, scented candles, jewelry, cards, home decor hair accessories, fine table linens, bags and clothing items. Surely they will have the gift item that you are looking for or will make suggestions. These types of shops are always great for males because you get very personalized service and the staff will take the time to make sure that you get an appropriate gift for that special lady. If they don't have it her, she probably doesn't need it! Cute shop, definitely recommended for your gift buying/time to treat myself adventures.

Be informed and closely read the contract when consigning your items to Found Treasures of Aiken…read more The owners of this establishment are very friendly and jovial when you bring your items in for consignment. They are very good at being super friendly and sweet talking you as down to earth and very straightforward honest people. They will quickly point out the percentage from the sales that you receive and the monthly breakdown of cost reductions and the 90 day consignment period. All of this is consistent with the many other consignment shops that I have dealt with in the past. Shame on me though for not specifically reading the complete details specified in the contract before leaving my items for sale. When dropping the items off that I had, Richard Mason (co-owner with his wife Joan) indicated prices for the items that seemed extremely high price in nature in my opinion and past experience with consignment shops. When I questioned, he stuck with his pricing, so being new to the Aiken area, I assumed he knew his market and what it would allow. Fast forward, short of 90 days when the items would be completed with the consignment period and any unsold items would need to be retrieved. I called the shop a few days ahead of time since I would be out of town on the 90 day mark. I was informed that none of the items had sold. When I asked if I could come in and pick up the items since I would be out of town the following week when the 90 days was up, I was rudely asked if I had read the contract. I was told gruffly that based on the contract, I was not allowed to retrieve the items before 90 days and that at 90 days I had 10 days to pick up the items. While this stringent pickup was not a big deal, when I then asked about the process for pickup, I was then informed that when I picked up the items, I must pay the owners 10 percent of the original listed price to get my items back. This surprised me since it seemed like an important fact that was never raised at consignment (and additionally, none of the other consignment shops I had ever dealt with imposed such a fee). When I asked about this, Richard then became quite condescending and rude to me. He belittled me for not reading the contract, that it was all right there and why couldn't I understand simple English. Since I didn't want to pay 10 percent of the exorbitant prices that he listed for the items, I asked what would happen if I just left the items at the store and never picked them up. His response was why was I asking him such questions, just read the contract (note - nothing is stated in the contract relating to this situation). After re-asking, he finally indicated that if I didn't retrieve the items, they would become his and any money he made off of them would repay the 10 percent owed on the items. He also said that whatever he did not sell, he would donate to a local charity and the listed donation amount would cover the donation pickup costs and my 10 percent owed. For anything left over, I would receive a donation receipt for that amount. Bottom line, think twice about what you bring to this store and the amounts agreed to charge for the items and whether you want them back if they don't sell. Based on my experience, I personally think the methods of operation for this establishment are (1) Price high - if it sells, the owners get half of a great price, the seller gets half; (2) If it doesn't sell and the seller retrieves items - the store owner gets 10 percent of a high price and you haul everything away for them; and finally and maybe best of all for the store owners (3) if it doesn't sell and you don't retrieve - the owners keep items, sell, and retain all the profit.

SELLER BEWARE - If you use Found Treasures to sell your merchandise be sure to ask them every few…read moredays if an item has sold. My experience is that they DID NOT notify me or pay me when an item was sold. Only when I questioned the status of items did I learn it had been sold - and the amount I received was at the low end of their scale. They also provided me with a new contract which would have enabled me to receive payment for items in their possession during a new 30-day period. When I called to thank them for the new contract they said it was sent in error and that I would receive NOTHING for anything sold during the new contract period. Found Treasures is anything but a reputable business. They have little consumer awareness, are extremely unprofessional and have an absolutley terrible location with hardly any traffic.

We went to Cold Creek and explained our proble. My wife and I communicated with 3 different employees while explaining our problem. At no time did any of them suggest replacing them. They said they don't know why they didn't bloom. One of the employees asked about the time of sun vs shade. I have never set and time the shade in any area of my yard. That employee suggested they don't get enough shade. They are planted in a bed that gets regular watering, its is on a timer. All the plants in that bed are thriving even the non-blooming azaleas. The new owners just don't concern themselves with customer satisfaction. The main reason I filed the complaint is to make others aware of the customer policy at Cold Creek. If a person bought anything that was supposed to do something and a year later it hasn't produced the expected result, I would think the product is at fault and it would be replaced.

It was busy in the best possible way: people drifting between shelves with purpose, a small line forming at the register, and an author set up at a front table signing books while chatting with readers. Moments like that feel like a quiet victory for local culture, a reminder that #LocalBooks still matter and that Augusta shows up for them. I lingered longer than I meant to because the browsing here pulls you in. The front tables were stacked with new releases and staff picks, and the red dot discount display added that little spark of treasure‑hunt energy. The range of subjects is part of what makes the place feel so alive. Politics and gender identity sit alongside fiction and romance, sci fi and fantasy, table games, cookbooks, and a genuinely thoughtful section on Augusta history. It's the kind of curation that reflects a community rather than a trend algorithm. And of course, there's the upstairs. It's one of the shop's best features. Quieter, a little more contemplative, with shelves that reward slow wandering. A busy bookstore on a weekend afternoon is a small civic joy. The Book Tavern manages to feel both rooted and evolving, a place where Augusta's literary life gathers itself and keeps going. [Review 212 of 2026 - 913 in Georgia - 25401 overall]
