Linwood Court is such a cute candle shop tucked inside Ponce City Market in The Village Retail. My…read morefriend treated me to one of their candle-making classes, and it turned out to be a really fun experience. Our class had about eight people and kicked off with a lighthearted icebreaker, which helped set a relaxed, social tone. You can also enjoy sparkling wine or sparkling cider during the experience, which was a nice touch. Our instructor clearly walked us through the candle-making process step by step, making it easy to follow even for beginners. One of the highlights is their scent wall where they offer 40+ fragrance options, so you can create a custom blend that truly fits your vibe. This is a great activity idea for a date night, bestie outing, team-building event, or girls' day out. They also sell premade candles, wax melts, and scent drops in-store and everything smells amazing. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, hands-on experience in the city.

We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Karen and Outrageous to anyone looking to transform their home.

I have never been treated more rudely at such a lovely store, where I wish I could continue to…read moreshop, but after today I won't ever return. I purchased five items and had to return with a truck to pick up one of then. Upon preparing my item for loading, we noticed a few issues in the top finish. I ask if they could order me a new one instead of accepting the one on the showroom floor. She said she would check on it or that she could offer me 20% off. I ask her to check on the new one and let me know. No one called me back, so I called them back a few days later and they told me they cannot order a new one. So I went today take a closer look. Two different clerks were working and told me they would only take 10% not the 20% the other clerk offered to me. So I ask for a refund. One of the clerks issued my refund and did say, "I'm, sorry" and she wished me luck in finding something else. The other clerk stood at the counter and said clearly under her breath, "there is nothing to be sorry about." Well.... I sorry for your loss and any future sales to me, I liked your merchandise. But refuse to be treated rudely. It's such a nice store to have such an unpleasant clerk and so unprofessional of her.

HOME DECOR AND FURNITURE!…read more This business is located inside of the Lakewood Antiques Building just inside the entrance to your left. This little shop carries planters, silk and plastic arrangements, decor items and furniture. They have small pieces that can sit on tables or larger pieces that can be used to anchor a space or as center pieces. Their furniture options included tables, chests, dressers, bookshelves and other pieces. I love that the store was divided into two sections where you can go off to the left and encounter lighter creamed colored pieces while the darker, (off black) pieces were on the right. side of the store. I am always drawn to black because it is my favorite color and a major feature in my very traditional decor. I love the light contrasting glaze added to the raised portions and edges of the pieces to create a bit of interesting detail. When it comes to furniture, I enjoy using it in unexpected ways and I love the idea of a pink elephant in the room. The pink elephant is that piece that catches everyone's attention while other pieces just fade to the background. These pieces are usually reserved for the more casual areas of my home such as the office and the kitchen area. Those simple bookshelves look great as the perfect place to store shoes. That dresser could be used in an upstairs hallway to store linen and other items. When it comes to home furnishings, think creatively and definitely outside of the box. Definitely worth a look when visiting the antique market.

Tasha has such a wonderful eye for making spaces look beautiful and she also has a strong understanding of best uses of space. My once cramped closet now has room for a bench in front of a window where I can sit, sip tea, and decide what to wear each day. The process of organizing was so much fun! It was like Christmas I kept finding things I had forgotten about, and even also would have needlessly purchased again. So they saved me money! Their pricing is quite affordable and they are professional...I cannot remember the last time I could vacuum my closet! I highly recommend Humble Hands Decor. Last month I hired them to redo my pantry and laundry area and that was amazing too! What have you been wanting to declutter and organize??? Give Humble Hands Decor Co a call. They will get it done and you will be so glad!!

I returned them to Beverly's Ace Hardware in Gainesville with absolutely no issues. My business will be with Beverly's Ace Hardware going forward.

There is a lot of women's clothing, a lot of local goods and gifts (jewelry, cosmetics, candles, cards, pop up glitter, coin purses, beard shampoo, etc.). The owner mentioned "Usually women don't like jeans shopping, so we made sure to have a lot of fun options to make it more enjoyable." She was so thoughtful toward her customers during her speech, which I think says a lot to the quality of the store. There is a cafe in the shop, as well. All baked goods are prepared in house. They sometimes have brunch available, but I believe it's seasonal. I think I heard that they're soon to have their last brunch for a while. Hello Gorgeous! Is a super cute place to get gifts for yourself or a friend!
