I still have all of it and wear it all of the time (and get a ton of compliments). I was just back in Columbia and bought some new earings, two necklaces (one for myself and one for a birthday gift for a friend) and a print by a local artist for my boyfriend. It is a great place to get gifts for just about anyone. They have a wide selection of art, jewelry, furniture, ceramics. They also have a baby and childrens section (if only I knew more babies...). The service is immpecable and their gift wrap is adorable. Now that I live out of town, I do my fair share of online shopping/online drooling. They have a great website for it!

Between my friend and I, we did drop several dollars and are looking forward to returning. Because I have an affinity for Asian art, I purchased some origami crane earrings and an origami greeting card. I also found an adorable hand-carved mouse that fit perfectly with an inside joke in my circle. The staff was super helpful and they provided "artist's cards" with each purchase. The card gave info on the artist and really help connect your purchase to the inspiration behind it. I loved that idea!! Every time I visit Columbia, BLUESTEM will be on my list of MUST DO's. I left too many things behind that I MUST have!

I cannot visit Columbia, without stopping by and buying several items to take home. This delightful little shop is located in the heart of downtown, on Broadway. It offers practical and unique gadgets. Aprons that make a baker look like a fashionista. They also offer, professional chef quality knives. Also, with the upcoming holidays, you can find table settings, serving pieces, that will make your table an elegant showpiece. The ladies who staff the store, are a delight. They are always excited to assist you and really love it when you share stories of your purchases. My most recent purchase, a large tea towel called, Bartenders Guide, is going to be framed. When I told the owner what I going to do, she asked me to send her a pic when it was completed. She was almost as excited as I was to find this towel and to do something creative with it. If you like to entertain, you gotta shop at Tallulahs. I guarantee you will not be able to walk out empty handed.

Jon's is a one of a kind shop in a city that is quickly losing our luster as one that takes pride…read morein our roots and tradition. Jon's shop includes very nice pipes, cigars, and of course loose pipe tobacco. I've never purchased anything other than pipe tobacco, as that's my go to drug of choice. I was getting ready for a deployment overseas and went in there to stock up before I left. I mentioned I'd be away for a while due to my deployment and he threw in a couple extra ounces of tobacco to hold me over. That is a quality person. Anyone who is willing to subtly help a servicemember without being flashy and bragging about military discounts and such is my kind of guy. The proprietor is extremely knowledgeable and very comfortable explaining the different styles and flavors he carries. The prices are fair and I wouldn't go anywhere else for my tobacco needs. He is not rude, he's just an old soul who enjoys good quality conversation. Unlike the rest of the world that seems to be worried about rushing on to the next sale, he focuses on what matters.
