The Forget Me Not Factory is an absolute gem and time capsule located right in the heart of…read morehistoric Ellicott City. After living in the area for years, I always passed by the whimsical exterior. I finally ventured in for the first time and wish I had done so sooner. It not only has the charm and magicalness of walking into a witch's cottage or a fairy garden shop, but is also a time capsule where you can find calendars from 2007 with whimsical fairies that you can still buy today. In other places, I would absolutely be put off by the old merchandise, but in a place like Forget Me Not Factory, it absolutely fits the vibe of the establishment, and I actually really enjoyed finding old things for sale there. It felt like stepping into the past, and I cannot wait to go back. Whether to find new items for my garden or supplies to make my next Ren fair costume.

This place really captured it correctly when it picked its name. You will not forget this place…read moreonce your visit it. You walk in and are transported into many different lands. This place is multi-level and can take quite some time to explore. If you are looking for items for a fairy garden, you will definitely find it here. Honestly, there is so much in here that it can be overstimulating. I know I wandered about this space for quite some time and contemplated buying so many items in here. Everything miniature you can think of is in this space. A lot of the items in here can possibly be used to construct Christmas villages as well. If I remember correctly I was mesmerized by the Ghostbuster items. I just couldn't justify the prices they were asking for some of the items. In short, this place is quirky and definitely worth a stop if you want to grab a unique gift for someone. Or if you have a little one with you that might want to indulge in some make believe.

I happened into Joe's store a week and a half ago and found the breakfront (aka china cabinet) of…read moremy dreams! Solid mahogany with book-matched mahogany burled veneer, beautiful crown molding and trim and original finish. Also two Duncan Phyfe matched drop leaf tables. Needless to say they are all sitting in my new home! Joe is fabulous! He is more of a teacher than a salesman; he wants you to know about the tradition and history of each piece. He also keeps and eye out for things on you "want" list. I am looking forward to completing the furnishing of my home with Joe.

A bit preppy/feminine for my taste but a great little addition to the Mt. Washington & Roland Park neighborhoods.

The other factors were the bed was she wanted a new bed.  If I know women's thinking, she did not wish to sleep in a bed that my ex-wife slept in. It is not the major reason for wanting a new bed, but it was on her mind longer than I knew. Looking around a different stores, we found nothing the got our interest.  We were looking around for a number of weeks and still weren't satisfied.   Then one day I got the idea to try out Sticks N Stuff in Rockville Maryland.   The place wasn't busy when we showed up, but we did find help right away.  I don't remember the name of the salesman, but he was knowledgeable about the products sold here.  My wife and I liked the adjustable bed and the mattress we selected.  Both items we picked came separately,  but you can pick and choose if you like. I paid for this bed with money I aquired after leaving Marriott Courtyard...,but that is another story. The sale and paperwork went smoothly and we are glad to have picked this store.   It wasn't the first time I had bought something from this store. I would reccomend this store, but I caution you on the delivery and removal process of your old bed. When the delivery person arrived late, it was a sign of things to come. The lead dude and his partner  dismantled the old bed, packed up most of the old bed parts and loaded them into the truck. All of this was after they had taken out the new bed and mattress.   Installing the new mattress and bed did not take long.  It was up and running and I was happy. My wife was at work when this was going on. The lead driver/delivery man flat out told me hff e wasn't taking all of the old bed peices.  This what he was getting paid to do and I/we were denied of this service. Calling Sticks N Stuff was futile. My check had already cleared and there was nothing they were going to do about it. Looking back maybe I wasn't aggressive enough,  but that was then.   I would change a number of things if I could should something like this ever happen again.  I give this play 5 stars for the sale side, but 1star for the delivery and removal service.   All and all I give it a 3 star overall.  My advice,  don't fuckover your clients when removing bed parts. This is what I paid for in the costs.

Recently, I was able to visit the store in person and Michelle was super helpful. She walked around the store with us, hearing my requests and making befitting suggestions. The variety of brands, writing styles, and price points were available for any budget. I never felt rushed or pressured, and other agents offered potential products. This literal boutique had more foot traffic and consumer diversity than I imagined. I gave into the temptation of buying yet another mystery box that did not disappoint. Although I live in IL, I will make my way back on my next visit.
