She walked me through the store to show me which yarns are best for what I was looking for. Amazing service. The store is so quaint and has such a beautiful selection of yarn at different prices. All of the yarn seemed to be of good quality. I have already started working on my project with the yarn purchased. If you are a knitter or crocheter this is the place to be. I can't wait to attend one of their events and take a class. Such a hidden gem that I will be visiting often!

I personally did not get the "craftiness " gene handed down to me, however, my mother is quite…read morecrafty and always has been. She taught ceramics in our home when I was a kiddo, she hand painted floral designs on mailboxes, and she could make or mend clothes. Now in her 80s, knitting is her favorite pass time, and so we stopped in at Center of the Yarniverse to check out their offerings. This is such a great place to browse a variety of yarn, wool, patterns, beautiful books, tools of the trade, and I walked away with some holiday gift ideas. The ladies who were working this day were welcoming without being overbearing. I actually ended up purchasing something small (and locally made) for myself, and I felt zero judgement for it not being related specifically to knitting and or crocheting. I noted that they have classes and social events. And another great thing is that there is parking! Ashland can get a little busy so having parking right at the shop is very much appreciated. If you have family or friends who are into knitting or similar craft hobbies, this is a great local shop to support!

If you live in Richmond, Gather is a real hike. This combination art gallery, boutique and…read moreboxed-lunch spot is waaaay out in Midlothian. It's housed in an old general store that the owners fixed up for business. The atmosphere here is elegant meets shabby chic. It's one of the stores where the inventory is so cool and well displayed, it makes me want to buy something and take a little piece of the store's feeling home with me. You'll find cool plates and glasses, antiques, designer purses and other fun stuff. The owner also sells her landscape paintings here. It's worth planning the drive for some cool shopping. On one occasion I got my mom some really beautiful hand-blown juice glasses. Each one was different, but they made a lovely set. And I got about 6 glasses for something like $35. Not bad. Along with the store, there's a pretty patio and the owner sells boxed lunches. The menu is online. There's usually some sandwiches for sale, but you can also call and place a specific order by 4 p.m. the day before you want to go for lunch. I've never eaten here, I've only shopped, so I can't comment on the food either way. I can say I do love shopping in the store and will go back for gifts...be they for others or me!

When I try this at home, it looks like I'm having a yard sale in my living room. It's not really that far if you hop on the Powhite...I don't know why Richmonders think going to Midlothian is like traveling to another country. Of course, I spend a lot of time in that part of the city since I have family there. It's a great place for gifts, especially for somebody who already has everthing, because there are a lot of one-of-a-kind things to wear or home accessories. I love the colorful cowboy hats and always see dishes or glasses I would like to have, but I've put a moratorium on buying stuff like that until I can afford a big hutch or china cabinet. I haven't ever had lunch there, but there's a really cute patio area so it looks like it would be a fun place to take a break from a hard day of shopping (or hunter-gathering as I like to think of it). I wouldn't call this an inexpensive place...more mid-range or pricing like you would expect in a Carytown boutique.

I absolutely love The Lioness! It is a small but mighty shop!

Every item is so thoughtfully curated by the owner, Kristina, who not only sources items from her travels but also makes several of the gifts available in the store. I always leave with so many cute presents for people or for myself. Some of the things can be a bit pricey but you can clearly see the quality and why it's worth it to purchase it! I will definitely be stopping by there again before the holiday season is through and even more in the year to come! *the attached photos are a little old but show a sampling of the fun items in the store!!

It is a noncollecting contemporary art museum, so note, the exhibits change multiple times a year It is relatively small, so depending on time to take to enjoy each piece, you could see the whole place in 1-2 hrs.

They will tell you it's reflective of the market rate, which is rather unfortunate if you're interested in supporting local business without wasting money. I've been directly told by their staff several times to take my business to eBay. This is functionally a brick-and-mortar store for a WhatNot-style breaker operation. On the plus side, when you overpay for a product with missing hits and they refuse to help, you can try to forget about it with an overpriced beer next door!

I went into Jezebel's with my friend and I found a purse for sale for $4. I thought "what a great…read moredeal!" and since it was marked in yellow, I figured it was a markdown. I went to the register with my purchase and the owner said that $4 was not the correct price. I told her that is what is marked and that she should sell it for the amount listed. She said it might have been the amount that she purchased it for, but that in no way was the correct price and she would sell it to me for $24. She basically just said I could buy it for a 600% markup! This says a lot about her markup on prices in the items in her store. I said it was unethical for her not to sell it to me for $4. She got mad, said I could buy it for $4 if I really wanted to rob her, and I said I would purchase it. She then said "NO! - I would rather throw it in the trash then sell it to you!". I started to walk out, told her I was going to go on Yelp and give my review of her "service", which is what I am doing. I have never given a review on anyone else before, but this woman was completely rude and should not be in business with a terrible and unprofessional attitude like hers. I also had two other friends across the street would might have been potential customers, but I stopped them from going into her store. My advice is to stay away from this store and shop elsewhere.
