I love the leather goods here - there are these European leather couches and chairs that are of top quality and you can get them here for a steal. You sit on them and immediately sense the quality.

The variety and prices and cookies from Italy I love. I'm tired with junky junk food. Give me the best. If you are a super bargain hunter check out the clearance section. They give stuff away and have to move inventory. Good to visit for Easter stuff and holiday stuff. Celebrate everything as they say.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Vintage Owl. Laurie and her team completely transformed…read moremy dull, dated early-90s bedroom furniture set into something that feels timeless, elevated, and absolutely beautiful. What was once heavy, yellowish, stained, scratched and tired is now a dreamy creamy light beige with the most gorgeous detailing. They thoughtfully retained and carefully cleaned the original hardware, which adds so much character and charm. The delicate veneer wood tops on the nightstands were expertly restained and now look rich and intentional rather than worn. Beyond the cosmetic transformation, their craftsmanship and service truly impressed me. They repaired broken dresser drawer tracks so everything functions smoothly again, and they even fixed an old light inside one of the drawers that hasn't worked in years. The entire set feels brand new while still honoring its original character. It's rare to find someone who combines artistry, attention to detail, and true restoration skill the way they do. If you're considering refinishing furniture instead of replacing it, this is your sign, and you will be absolutely thrilled with the result.

I've shopped here frequently over the years. About a year ago I bought a sterling silver ring here…read morewith a blue stone. Unfortunately, the stone turned into a greenish brown color. I stopped by today to ask about it and was prepared to simply buy a new ring-- it was fairly inexpensive. The store was empty, and there were two people working there who did not greet me when I walked in, as they were busy complaining loudly about someone. I stepped up to the counter, and despite the workers standing behind the counter, and one person looking at me directly, they still didn't greet me. At one point, one looked like she was coming toward me, looked me in the eye and then grabbed her beverage and turned away. Finally I asked directly for help. I showed her the ring and asked to look at the identical one behind the counter. She got very nervous and told me they hadn't seen a stone turn brown before. She immediately told me that she would not contact the company for me, that I needed to do it myself. I hadn't even asked her to. She kept saying things like "well if it had been two weeks we maybe could help you." to which I responded, "do you expect a ring to turn brown after 2 weeks?" She then said she couldn't contact the company because they would "ask her questions" she didn't know the answer to. I have no answers either why a stone would turn brown with occasional wear, no chemicals, etc. I would think they would want to talk to the company about this if they are selling jewelry that turns brown. Anyway, I was just really turned off by the fact that they had an empty store, but yet basically told me I had to contact the wholesale distributor myself. It really seemed like these two are doing everything they can to do the least work possible! I typically think a nice thing about shopping at a local boutique would be the customer service.. not here. I did not buy a new ring, and will not shop here again.

As there are MANY candles and home decor goods, I proceed to open a jar at the register to explore the scent when she abruptly and rudely said "Don't open that! It's honey! The candles are over there!" Go figure. I doubt I'm the last adult person to mistake a jar for this, given the store merchandise ALL around (you don't see foodstuff, you see pillows, tchotkes and candles, not jars of honey that could be spilled). Needless to say I left thereafter and wished her good luck with business. Treat your customers with better service and respect. She was rude. I won't be shopping there, nor recommending other locals to shop there either. Inventory and decor style still the same from its inception years ago. Curious to see how long they remain in business.

Every time I walk in, I find something special--whether I'm shopping for a gift or treating myself. What truly sets Hometown Mercantile apart is the heart behind it. The owner is exceptionally kind and caring, and that warmth carries through to her entire staff. She makes it a point to know the backstory of every line she carries, which adds so much meaning to each product and makes shopping here feel personal and intentional. You can feel how much pride she takes not only in her shop, but in being an active part of such a vibrant downtown community. Nothing feels mass-produced or generic--everything is chosen with care, quality, and purpose. The staff is welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to help, without ever being pushy. Hometown Mercantile is exactly the kind of small business you want to support. A true community staple and a must-visit boutique--I'll keep coming back again and again. PS: She always has treats for your four-legged friends!

And to add onto the experience, every time a new customer would enter Ross, his greeting was extremely dim and robotic. "Good day and welcome to Ross". How many times he repeated the same phrase depended on how many people that were coming through the door. It wasn't said in a very welcoming way. His tone was flat and more like a "I hate you all" type of tone. I heard it about 5x and I had to leave cuz I couldn't stand the dark cloud this specific employee was.

It's no longer a dark and cramped museum of over-priced items that sit for literal years, gathering dust. It's now a bright, spacious, and dynamic place to shop and visit. The new owners (a young sister duo) have an incredible eye for pieces from every decade in the past 100 years. No matter what you collect - be it media, ephemera, kitsch, housewares, soft goods, lighting, home decor, clothing, jewelry/accessories, or furniture - you WILL find something that calls out to you for a price you can't resist. I especially enjoy chatting with Sam (the sister who happens to have been there each time I've visited) about our shared fascination with the stories behind, well, everything. There's just something about knowing where an object came from and who loved it first that makes it extra precious. Bonus: A cat museum - appropriate to the store name - is being planned. Stay tuned!
