Beautiful products as gifts, such as necklaces, books, hats, cultural crafts, handmade gifts, unique jewelry, locks, bags, pouches, art, souvenirs, etc. Great value. Good service next door. Views are spectacular inside and outside. Small narrow space, but perfect for a unique gift shop. Decent value. Shop ends at the stairwell in back. Highly decorated at every shelf and angle. I really liked all the colorful items and designs I see. There's definitely variety here, especially if you want to buy a specific gift for someone. Next door is also an art gallery boutique. Beautiful place with beautiful vibes. Must love. I like browsing around the store whenever I'm waiting for my coffee and pastries or breakfast sandwich next door. Friendly and welcoming environment with lots of great things to see. I will definitely revisit in future.

I wanted…read moreto buy one of these gorgeous handcrafted floral vases (posted photos) but the lady went crazy on me for holding my phone in my hand so I decided against the purchase. I walked by her with my phone in my hand and she began Pressing her hands in front of her face while asking "WHY ARE YOU TAKING PICTURES OF ME? It is making me very uncomfortable!!!!!" What?! I was just holding my phone because my husband was walking around town with my mom, who is in a wheelchair, and I wanted to make sure I didn't miss a call from him. I could not care less about the lady working here and especially to take a photo of her. Maybe she is nice on the inside but I wasn't feeling that vibe. My friend had several things at the register to purchase but changed her mind after the lady was being so rude. Whoever makes these beautiful vases I have shared photos of - I'd like to say to you, they are fabulous.

The owner is genuinely kind -- she even guided me through some tarot when I opened a set I probably…read moreshouldn't have, which I really appreciated. And showed me how she shuffles decks, had me use her cards to try myself - very informative. If she offered some classes of some kind or just events at the shop- I feel like that would be beneficial and of interest. That said, I can't personally shop somewhere that doesn't allow returns once something's opened. The policy makes sense, it's just not a good fit for me. There are quite a lot of items as far as selection for what from the outside looks like a very small shop. Most items are available for much less online, and in my opinion, the value here simply doesn't match the prices. This is really only a place to shop if supporting a local business matters more to you than what you're getting for the money.

Bought a cozy brown sweater and the owner told me how to wash it and also she told me I could wear it 2 different ways. She was friendly.

I love their quirky card selection and stickers. Such a fun eclectic place to shop and I wish it was closer to home. Probably spent a good hour in here and could have spent more time!
