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.

If you're into all things fountain pens, you're good here too. They have fountain pens such as Kaweco, LAMY, TWSBI, Cross, Sailor, Pilot, BENU, and many more. They also stock fountain pen ink and rollerball refills. They also have postcards, notepads, binders, stickers, and so much school stuff! Regardless of what you're looking for, there's a great selection of analog writing supplies here. The owners and employees are very nice and helpful, and the prices are great. We came here on a recent Saturday when there was a mini-pen show happening. If you want to go to a big/regular pen show, look for info about the Triangle Pen Show online.

The Paper Source is your fix if you still mourn the loss of great scrapbooking supplies…read more The Paper Source is your fix if you love the look (but cannot afford) beautiful handcrafted paper in every hue. (eventually, you WILL break down and buy a few sheets to just stare at in the privacy of your own home.....because...well, it is just too embarrassing to keep going to the stores to just finger them). The Paper Source is your fix for fun things to give as office gifts or presents to your friends family and yourself....little things and big things. The Staff is cheerful, and the stores are well lit for the admiration of the famed paper wall. The only con is not being able to see the prices on individual sheets without having to tease them out from the racks.

There are so many beautiful things jewelry, pendants you can hang up in your house or porch , Art , bath and body stuff and little bit of this and that!

They even rapped everything up so beautifully. So I am set to just put them underneath the tree. Next time I am in the area I will definitely be back !! Thank you so much !!!

I love how everything sold here is fair trade and I also love the unique card options as well. I even bought the sweet "Nothing will replace your loss... but I'll be here for you, today, tomorrow, all the days to come" what a beautiful message! I plan on gifting this card to a friend who lost his mom recently. It's the perfect something to day you care when you really don't know what to give. Parking is ample in the lot right on the side of the shop, although getting in and out of the lot isn't as easy as the driveway is tucked away and you can easily miss it. I do often forget about this place but absolutely love strolling in here when I'm running random errands at the businesses nearby.

I found this one last second with about a half an hour before closing 11 minutes away from us. So we sped off get there in time. When we got there and walked through the little pink door, it was the cutest little shop. So my friend is visiting from Scotland and we wanted to get some kind of necklace or piece of jewelry that matched. They have a great selection. We opted for some lava rock bracelets that help with communication, truth, and strength. I grabbed a little shot glass that said North Carolina on it because I have to have a trinket from every trip I make. When we were checking out, she said that somebody wanted to donate a basket to somebody that they had bought and wasn't gonna pick up so we ended up getting a free basket from Krystal! That was the sweetest thing. We were like two little school girls opening it up and dividing all of the little snacks inside. So thank you for making the end of our trip wonderful!!

Amazing service and products!…read more Our company always gets gift baskets for our customers for Christmas. We've used a popular online company for years, but this year, they messed up our order and we had to scramble to find a plan B! After doing some research we found Gingham & Posh. We loved how we could design the gift boxes with the colors of our company logo. The staff was great to work with and finished our boxes in a great time frame, even with the Christmas rush! We ended up going with the NC boxes. We've received many compliments from our customers of how much they loved their gifts. We loved how we were supporting a local business with Gingham & Posh, as well as supporting the businesses represented within the boxes. We're so glad our Plan A didn't work out this year. From now on, Gingham & Posh will be our go to for gift baskets!

The place is not too large, but the selection is up to par. I went for a $10 office chair. All the chairs are $10, which is fortunate and unfortunate since some are in a lot better shape than others. I got a cute blue swivel chair, which was very clean. I am planning to cover it with a cloth slip, just for sanitary reasons. I cleaned the wheels when I got home, and yea, it works, nice and cheap! I definitely recommend. Also, if you are looking for a desk, I would get a bigger car, the desks are ginormous and look pretty heavy.
