When I lived in STL, I was a regular shopper at Abigail's. When I shopped, I always knew I'd find…read morethe perfect gift, or something just for me. I now shop their website and still find exactly what I want and need. I am a garden flag guy. I have multiple post and change the flags on the regular. My collection of flags celebrate, holidays, local sports teams, pets, pride and my foodie personality. Since STL added a new sports team, I needed a new garden flag to support them. I was on-line researching and found one. I was getting ready to purchase my new City SC flag when a e-mail from Abigail's popped into my in-box. I cannot explain why I stopped my purchase and went to check my new mail, but I'm glad I did. Lucky for me the e-mail was announcing their new merchandise promoting, City SC. I went back and cancelled my order I was doing with a major retailer and placed an order with Abigail's. I prefer to support a small business, then pad the pockets of a major retailer. My package arrived in just a couple days. I received text messages telling me, they received my order and then telling me it had shipped. When I opened my package, it had a hand written note, thanking me for supporting a small business. This is the second business who has done that for me, this month. If you need a unique gift, I recommend shopping at Abigail's. However, if you're a shopaholic, beware, you my lose self-control.

Bundle up to support Urban Matter this week, and be sure to give yourself plenty of time to browse. There's a lot to shop!

It was crowded today, and it's tight quarters. The proprietors and clerks are friendly and engaging. I got an Olivella face and body bar of 100% virgin olive oil with anti-aging properties for $4 (buy 6, get one free) and a beautiful container of foaming bath gel ($5) looking like a Christmas tree ornament (and the shape of the container was of a tree), including a hook on the top, in orange color (and smelling of orange) -- both for our Thanksgiving hostess. There's a lot packed into this small store!

First off let me tell you the name can be a little misleading. Yes, they do have gardening items, but they are also a home decor store. Today I found a couple of decorative Easter themed items for my mantel in the living room. I change the mantel for every holiday or season, to for me these were great finds. In addition to the gardening and home decor, you'll find cookbooks, a small variety of gourmet food items and entertaining accessories. Those who know me, know I have a love for jalapeños so I almost went crazy when I found a jar of, Jalapeño Pickles. The brand is, Natural Pickled Pink. So, I guess you could say, I was tickled pink. I am also known for my cocktail napkins. I take them to parties, gatherings with friends at restaurants and I usually add a package to coordinate with gifts. So, if you too are in to unique and funny cocktail napkins, come shop the rack here. I can guarantee you will walk out with more then one package. Whoever is working, the service is friendly and attentive. It the type of service you expect and deserve when shopping a higher end store.
