But once inside, you'll find it literally glitters with a huge collection of beautiful glassware-the passion of owner, Anita, and sparkles with the potential of hidden treasure in the eclectic mix of goodies in the backroom: kitchen kitsch, vintage irons and sewing patterns, picnic baskets, ceramic chickens, and enamelware to name a few of my finds. The front room is filled with beautiful antique furniture and the whole place is filled with the delicious smells of Anita's hand-poured candles. The shop is open Wednesday through Saturday.

LOVE this antique store. Her prices are reasonable and the selection is beyond huge.

The pumpkin bonfire smelled good and for 60% off I will try it. The room spray "leaves" smell incredible. Last year they had pumpkin spice & patchouli and this was my all time favorite. Of course they did not bring it back this year. :-( Leaves smell a little like it though. Love BBW!

I would always recommend bbw! Today 11/11 I went in and Cecelia helped me and was amazing at…read morehelping me return my defective candle. Yes it was over half way used but the wick was so close to the glass it burned through and burned my decorative outside paper off. No biggie things happen but could have been a hazard. CC was so understanding and helpful. Bernard actually did my transaction and was amazing! His and Cecelia's customer service was great. He asked a girl named Taylor for help. She wore glasses. I am pretty sure that was her name. Well her customer service wasn't the greatest not towards her New coworker Bernard nor her customer Me! She acted annoyed before he even asked for her help. As soon as she walked over and looked at my defective candle she immediately was in a no spirit. Saying since it was used and defective she didn't think it could be returned. First thing in my experience in customer service before giving an opinionated no. ASK A MANAGER. Don't start off with a derogatory comment. I have worked here years ago and never experienced this. The return policy is always great. I don't abuse it at all. But when an item that is $26 regardless if on sale or not and I can't burn it until the end it's getting returned. Which is why I love bbw's return policy. Bbw honor their items. Bernard was very uncomfortable with Taylor's attitude. I didn't like seeing that nor how quick her response was to me where she didn't THINK my item was returnable. No empathy as to wow this could have been bad how it burned the plastic off. Please fix this. I'm sure she didn't mean to maybe come off this way but please make sure the working environment is a happy yet professional place!! Thanks loves

I went in on a mission to get some room sprays and $115 later...I'll be stocked for a long time!…read more I was greeted by Holly who had a wonderful aura about her. I told her I would be FaceTiming my friend as I shopped and she didn't mind at all. In fact, I set the camera up on a candle and filmed myself while Holly graciously walked candles to and from my location so I could get a hint of the entire store. Incredible customer service! My favorite remains "Tradition" but I ventured out with my wax melts. The pricing is super competitive with my usual vendors and I'm so glad this place is here (and remains here)!

Do yourself a favor and make your way over to see these beautiful souls and treat yourself to something nice and made with love.

It was a wonderful time. Because of our booking, we were able to get a discount on anything we purchased today. They also have a clearance section called the Butterfly Garden and everything on the front patio was DEEPLY discounted. They have the most beautifully unique purses and modest clothing - sizes S-5X. They have special little fun giveaways from time to time as well. I can't believe I didn't know this place was here. I WILL be back.

It's fun to hunt for great finds…read more Another reviewer mentioned the exterior looking like a daycare and it made me laugh because we thought the outside looked... colorful... as well upon pulling up. The value at Ollie's is great. We didn't have a ton of time to shop but we nabbed an A&M garden flag for $6.99 and a big bag of Brownie Brittle for $5.99. (Now I will note that we have been "burned" by food at Ollie's in the past -not this particular location- when we bought some mint patties which were infested with bugs. So yes we are "nervous" buying food here but I think that if they are well packaged, that shouldn't normally be a problem.) Now for the service. Wow. Aimee was our cashier and was FABULOUS. She was so friendly and helpful. She got us signed up for Ollie's rewards and explained everything so thoroughly. I honestly don't know why we didn't sign up before. It's not like we shop here much but the points don't expire so we should have done it sooner. Thankfully this wonderful employee was able to get us signed up. Wasn't expecting such great service here. Outstanding.
