This is my 300th First to Review so I wanted to choose a special business. A Christmas Shoppe is…read morethe perfect business to sing the praises of. I ordered a personalized ornament on eBay and this is the business that sent the ornament. Fast service, check,! I ordered the ornament that was going to be personalized with the year, first names, and last name. That same day I received a notice that the order had been shipped. What! Maybe the company didn't get my special instructions for the personalization. Wrong, I received the ornament two days later and it was PERFECT! High quality, light weight, appropriate size, clear personalization was exactly what I received. After getting the ornament I went to their website and identified a number of ornaments that are on my wishlist. If I were independently wealthy I have dreamt of all the ornaments I would order. I do plan to order at least one more ornament for this year. I have always collected an annual ornament from Hallmark but now I'm going to add an appropriate personalized ornament each year from A Christmas Shoppe.

Great variety and extremely helpful, polite staff. Love just walking through getting ideas.read more

Caulfield's Creep Fest in Louisville was exactly the kind of event I was hoping for…read more The Caulfield's store is downstairs and all the vendors were upstairs, and let me tell you--the costume contest was being taken VERY seriously. There were some seriously good costumes! It was really crowded, and there were definitely some screaming kids who were scared, which honestly just made the whole experience even more entertaining. They advertised having food trucks, but I honestly didn't see any. There was one possible food truck right at the entrance, but I wouldn't go expecting a whole variety of food trucks to choose from. Maybe I just missed them! Overall, it was crowded, creepy, fun, and wonderful. Exactly what you want from a Creep Fest! #CaulfieldsCreepFest #LouisvilleKY #CreepFest #SpookySeason #PhoebeExplores

This is such a lovely store! I visited with my mother-in-law, who considers European Splendor…read moreprobably her favorite store in Louisville. And I can see why. ES has so many delightful home products to look at, including pillows, linens, art, furniture, glassware, pottery, books and more. Lavender also seems to be a favorite of the owners. You can find linens especially with lavender on them as well as sweet smelling lavender sachets. The prices range. Yes there are some expensive pieces, but the quality seems consistent with the price. One item I keep thinking about are their line of leather aprons. The staff was very friendly. I'm looking forward to going back and shopping there more soon too.

After passing European Splendor for a year, I finally stopped in when something in the window…read morecaught my eye. The store is aptly named, as it is splendid and immediately had aspects that reminded me of Europe. After crossing through the threshold, I immediately smelled lavender -- good lavender. There are few things that I am picky about, but after spending a summer in the south of France in college (where the scent of lavender literally wafts down the street from the open air market), I am something of a lavender snob. This is the good stuff! The store is delightful, and feels homey in a sophisticated way. There is a huge variety of merchandise, from furniture to decor to hand painted pottery. I passed on the item that caught my eye as I am looking for something just a little different, but I didn't leave without buying something lavender-scented. For your own splendid piece of Europe here in Louisville, stop by European Splendor today and discover a new favorite place -- I know that I did!

I think this is the best boutique gallery I've ever been to. It has such a wide array of art from…read moreover 150 artists in the area. Everything in here is unique and impressive. They also have a small gallery in the back to specifically show cases one artists work but it's for sale. I love the variety of types of art and prices in here so it's affordable for everyone. You could easily spend an hour looking at all of the art in here so definitely check it out.

I continue to pop in during trips to Nulu ... and still haven't bought anything. I truly enjoy…read morecoming in, I do - it's just that everything is a splurge and it doesn't prompt me to buy. I spotted several local artists items today and for that I'm adding a star back to Revelry. It's great that local folks have a spot to showcase their items and become recognized by new customers. Roman, the store's dog, is also a fan favorite. This store is full of items. Be aware the shopping spaces are tight and if you have young kids, several expensive items that are breakable may make you feel anxious.

No crowded space so a lot of elbow room to roam easily. A local family that specializes lady clothing. My wife was happy with her gold bracelet purchase and will explore this place again.

Six Sisters is such a fun spot to shop in Nulu!…read more My SIL and I ventured in last weekend, so she could find some new work clothes. And I love how Six Sisters has expanded into consignment as well. There was a fun mix of more expensive, new items and some great condition, used clothes as well. They range from casual to formal -- I even saw a few bathing suits. Six Sixters had a full range of sizes. There were several great Derby dresses to choose from, plus Six Sisters is selling several fascinators to go with them. Add in the great accessories and shoes, and you can come away with a whole look! My SIL bought several items while we were there. The clerk was helpful, and overall, it was such a delightful shopping experience. I'm excited to go back!

There's so much to see and the spaces are tight, including the upstairs rooms. (Parents with strollers or exploring toddlers, this was one of my least favorite spots to take mine when my boys were younger. You've been warned.) You're going to find a bunch of things you don't need yet want plus gifts for friends and family. The store is full of home decor, jewelry, artwork, candles, and even more home decor. During the holiday season they are known for their ornaments which they dangle from the ceiling. I've bought several items, including furniture, from the Red Tree and I love it all. Prices can be a bit of a splurge but the unique vibe makes up for it. Always friendly service. Find them primarily at the front counter downstairs. Street parking is available and most without meters.

I wasn't expecting much, but after a quick sear, it turned out absolutely restaurant-quality--tender, flavorful, and perfect for a gourmet meal at home. It's rare to find high-quality seafood at such a great price, and this was a total win. If you love good food on a budget, Aldi continues to deliver!

Aldi is the closest, most convenient grocery store and somehow I went 8 years without ever shopping…read morethere. This has changed and will probably not revert after seeing their interesting selection, great prices and ease of shopping. Growing up, Aldi was kind of crummy; pallets of food sort of arranged in aisles and it seemed to nickel and dime you on things like that quarter for the shopping cart and no bags provided. The last two are still there, but the selection of food has definitely gone upmarket. I was impressed by the wide array of meats, frozen and packaged foods, as well as the many gluten-free and no sugar added choices. The wide aisle made getting around other shoppers a breeze. I'm less impressed with their produce department that doesn't seem as well-handled (bruised and broken veggies) or the fact that most of them are required to be purchased in bulk. I don't need 10 onions. Some of the more exciting choices are around for only a limited time, so you can't depend on adding them to your regular menu. Finally, I don't think I've been where there are more than one check out lane open, so busy hours can mean decent lines. The cashiers do their best and its appreciated. I can't believe that I waited nearly a decade when it was right here!
