She made the process seamless and removed any anxiety that we felt. The selections available were numerous and absolutely gorgeous. My mother and I both agreed that what we received was definitely worth what was paid. The cost of the wreath and floral vase arrangement, did no justice to the effort made by the owner and beauty of the flowers. Wild Orchids will be our go-to florist going forward, for all of our events.

I've walked by the shop a few times on my way to other businesses in the facility and my curiosity finally lead me in. The Hidden Gem is a descent size shop, clean, organized, and has a lovely aroma of incense. It felt very inviting and open. They have a huge assortment of crystals, stones, and gems--small and large. There is a large display of incense too. Many other treasures can be found throughout the shop like candles, plants, and unique items from local artists and brands. I found adorable Alice in Wonderland candles that I may need to return for. Everything seemed fairly priced too. The shop's staff are beyond nice and they have readers (tarot, physic, crystal) at the shop everyday. Whether you are looking to add some enchantment to your everyday life or looking for a unique gift for a crystal loving friend, Hidden Gem On Main is the spot! It's also fun to browse around too like I did on my first visit. I will likely be back to do a little gift shopping soon.

The people working there are friendly, knowledgeable, and no question is too silly for them. I am not consistent with my practices, so I usually have some questions about materials and uses. The pace is well organized and not overwhelming. Sometimes these places put way too much out and it looks messy/cluttered. The store hosts events like readers, sound healers and classes. I personally have attended some of these events. They will also feature crafts/jewelry from local artists. Check out their website or Facebook page for announcements and events.

Recently, I placed an order for a floral arrangement to be delivered to my 90 year grandmother for her birthday, my credit card was charged. I spoke with my grandmother the day after her birthday and asked her if she liked her flowers, she said she never received them. I called Amberworks right away and no one picked up the phone and no way to leave a message. I called all day and more of the same. I emailed them and finally (2 days later) recieved this response, "We were unable to fill it. We will forward you the email confirming cancelation." That's it, no apology, nothing. I am sad that my grandmother did not get anything from me on her 90th birthday and this company absolutely did not care. Not a place I want to do business with.

At a…read morePocketful of Posies you will get lost in all the great finds this small and might boutique has to offer. The shop is carefully curated and laid out. Upon walking in, the shop felt small, but all the little nooks and corners made it feel large. Something new to see at every turn. They sell some of the softest t-shirts, delightful scented organic soap bars, cutest stuffed toys and fun quirky gifts. My favorite part was the wall of teas and honey. I will definitely return if I have to find a thoughtful and special gift for a birthday, Christmas or baby shower. I liked how each shelf was a vibe. There was a section with "plant lady" gifts for the friend or loved one that is talented in the garden. They had a rather large area filled will baby clothes, toys, and the recently popular Jellycat plushies (they were SUPER soft). I personally love going to a boutique like this to find a gift rather than ordering online. A Pocket Full of Posies is hidden as I discovered it while on my way to Perk On Main. It's located INSIDE the Main Street Market building. There is, conveniently, a large parking lot with access from the backside of the building. There is also street parking in the front as well, look for the big sign "Main Street Market," sandwiched between Perk On Main and Pokemoto. Parking is $1/hour or free on Sundays.
