I have seen items in there that cost hundreds of dollars, and I have bought lip balm for $2.50. Everything is hand made by local artists. Since the store operates as a co-op, each of the artists puts in weekly shifts working the floor. This is a nice touch, as you get to meet different artists and talk to them about their work. They sometimes have demonstrations for Second Friday Artwalk -- a few weeks ago I got to see an interesting demonstration of wood turning by one of their members.

They also stock fountain pen ink and rollerball refills. They also have postcards, notepads, binders, stickers, and so much school stuff! Regardless of what you're looking for, there's a great selection of analog writing supplies here. The owners and employees are very nice and helpful, and the prices are great. We came here on a recent Saturday when there was a mini-pen show happening. If you want to go to a big/regular pen show, look for info about the Triangle Pen Show online.

For my wife's Valentine's Day flowers this year (2023), I ordered online and had delivered early a…read more"Chef's Choice" arrangement from University Florist, an independent local florist in Chapel Hill. The flowers are beautiful and my wife loves them. The ordering and delivery experience was easy. I give this place five stars. Highly recommend it. I found University Florist on Yelp after doing a search for "Flowers & Gifts Delivery" in Chapel Hill: https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=Flowers+%26+Gifts+Delivery&find_loc=Chapel+Hill%2C+NC. University Florist popped up as the #4 "best" result. The reviews, pictures, and the business' website looked good, so I went ahead with University Florist. On the front end, I loved how quick and easy it was to navigate University Florist's site and order. I shopped "From the Fridge" and chose Chef's Choice. With Chef's Choice, all I had to do was choose a size. I let the experts decide which flowers to use to "serve up a super fresh slice." The sizes ranged from Small ($65) to Super Duper ($225). I went with Medium ($95). After shipping ($12.50) and taxes ($8.05), my total worked out to $115.55. Other shopping options included "From the Ground," which did not look as lush and eye-popping (understandable given the winter season) and "Valentine's Day 2023." The "From the Fridge" options weren't available February 10-15, 2023. The Valentine's flowers were available starting February 10. The simplicity of University Florist's website is great. I wasn't overwhelmed with choices. It saved me time. I appreciated that. My wife's Chef's Choice arrangement came with roses, tulips, hydrangeas, and other flowers we're not sure the names of. As soon as she first set eyes on them, I heard her repeatedly say, "Wow" and "I love them." She also said, "These might be my favorite of all the flowers you've gotten me." That says a lot because I've gotten her many different types of arrangements over the years. This arrangement from University Florist is outstanding. My wife loves the unique, bold, and colorful combination. She thinks it's creative and, refreshingly, unlike the "generic" arrangements one typically sees (e.g., those advertised on websites). She likes how the roses have different color petals than usual. The arrangement has served to brighten up our living room and they make my wife very happy. She also likes how the card holder is a repurposed stem and not a plastic piece. Eco-friendly. Needless to say, the flowers have done their job! Other things I've heard (or overheard) my wife say about the flowers when she's in the living room: - "So pretty." - "I love it." - "I'm obsessed with the roses and this arrangement. They're beautiful." - "I love the roses and hydrangeas." - "Oh my gosh, the tulips are so beautiful. They smell so good. They changed overnight." - "Oh my gosh, it smells amazing. I can't get over how good it smells!" Christina delivered the flowers to our door at 11:45am on the day that I specified. Christina was very nice. She had to hike up a few flights of stairs too. The flowers arrived in excellent condition. Thank you again, Christina. I ordered the flowers five days in advance. University Florist's brick-and-mortar shop is located in the heart of downtown Chapel Hill, right on Franklin Street near the "major" and popular intersection with Columbia Street (where UNC Tar Heel fans congregate to celebrate big wins). The business has been around since 1946! The current and previous owners, Henry House and his father Charles House, were born and raised in Chapel Hill. This is a true mom-and-pop shop and, unlike other florists, it is not affiliated with national floral wire services like FTD, Teleflora, and 1-800-Flowers.com. Over the years, I've liked to order from different flower shops and review them on Yelp. You can check out my collection here: https://www.yelp.com/collection/BsisJC9_j6A_evQYhzGxqw/Florists-and-Flower-Delivery. In recent years before I found University Florist, in the Triangle, I've ordered from Victoria Park Florist in Chapel Hill (2022: https://www.yelp.com/biz/victoria-park-florist-chapel-hill), Chapel Hill Florist (2021: https://www.yelp.com/biz/chapel-hill-florist-chapel-hill-2), and Pine State Flowers in Durham (2021: https://www.yelp.com/biz/pine-state-flowers-durham-2). University Florist compares favorably to the competition.

First, an apology, to William Travis Jewelry and to anyone who read my recent review posted on…read moreFacebook and the Yelp page for the business: I screwed up--big time. The review I posted for William Travis Jewelry was not meant for them, but for Wentworth & Sloan Jewelers. It is no excuse for my mistake, but I was new to the mall in which both businesses are located; I didn't note the name of the store before I left the mall, but felt sure I had found the correct store when at home I looked for the store on-line. My oversight caused me to ding a store that did not deserve to be dinged, and I regret the mistake (which I have since corrected--you may find the properly-posted review on the Wentworth & Sloan pages where I meant my review to go). Second, I learned of the mistake when the owner of William Travis Jewelry messaged me. I called him expecting an unpleasant exchange, but Travis could not have been more understanding and friendly. He understood how I made the mistake, and forgave me for the mistake. That is to say, he behaved as someone who had aced Customer Service 101 would behave. My rating for William Travis Jewelry is 5 stars, not because I have done business with them, but because of the way the business calmly dealt with an issue I alone caused. While I have not previously done business with William Travis Jewelry, I will do so, and I will highly recommend others patronize the business. I'm new to North Carolina, but I've found "my" jewelry store!
