Placed an order through Faire and before being charged, I was given an estimated ship date and went…read morewith that as it would work. Upon ordering and then paying on November 10, the ship date was changed to a few days prior to Christmas. I inquired as to why and no response. In inquired again, inquiry returned. Then I cancelled the order as they did not respond. They ignored this several times. I lost confidence this would arrive and ordered through another vendor. I then went through Faire to try and cancel. They were no help as they just contact the seller. Then 1Canoe2 they said they had already shipped it. How can you go from 2 weeks out to 5 weeks (after charged for merch) and then in a few hours--already shipped? This was all within a 24 hour period so I am not believing this to be true. I tried to call their number in Fulton and their mailbox is full. No one will answer the phone. Not professional. I did hear back finally and they said they had "thousands of orders" and all they could do was call their warehouse to ship to me quickly but it was too late to cancel. Makes no sense. If you had time to call your warehouse, you could have cancelled it. Now I will have to work with Faire to return it. I read another review that said "elitist" and agree with this.

Between my friend and I, we did drop several dollars and are looking forward to returning. Because I have an affinity for Asian art, I purchased some origami crane earrings and an origami greeting card. I also found an adorable hand-carved mouse that fit perfectly with an inside joke in my circle. The staff was super helpful and they provided "artist's cards" with each purchase. The card gave info on the artist and really help connect your purchase to the inspiration behind it. I loved that idea!! Every time I visit Columbia, BLUESTEM will be on my list of MUST DO's. I left too many things behind that I MUST have!

They've got a facebook page for the art market itself, http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=193395070709478&ref=nf There are loads of local artists featured in this store, and the real kicker is to go down into the catacombs. That's right, there is a dungeon of art under the store. Back in the day, when Columbia had a train depot, this was where they probably stored stuff to ship and where people milled around to find the right platform and get on their train. Well, there probably was only one track, but it's a nice romantic notion.

They will never show it to their customers and remain sweet as candy. I collect Zippo's and have bought many there. There was a Day Of The Dead set they had, and being 2 lighters they couldn't set it in the carousel. One of the women who works there (I forget her name as I suck at remembering names) told me that she was hoping I would be the one to buy it. She obviously couldn't deny selling it to someone else, but I was happy to pick it up. Also their stone carvings and statues are masterpiece's. But they are nothing compared to the staff. I hope they keep up running for years to come. I've even tried to volunteer there, but they have unfortunately turned me down. I'll definitely keep trying though. I highly recommend everyone visit this store. You won't be disappointed! If I was being forced to choose something to be bummed about it would be that their jewelry is silver. But that is strictly because I am allergic to silver. So it is no fault of their own. It's entirely on my personal biology.

The play area is clean, well lit, and is "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" when it comes to language; so it's safe for all ages. The store holds regular tournaments (check their website). And if you're needing to acquire something they don't have in stock; they can likely find it for you. Note that if you're having trouble finding this place, exit at Providence and travel North just past the first stop light, and turn right almost immediately. It's on the lower level facing West. If the parking lot is full close to the store, there's additional shared parking where you turn in.
