My daughter had ideas for how she wanted her wedding invitations to look, and they took those ideas , expanded on them, and created a beautiful and unique design that was everything and more than we envisioned. The process, pricing, and timeline were clearly explained to us and delivered just exactly as outlined. This little store is a gem! We are looking forward to having them handle the day-of coordination for the wedding.

The store is often empty so it may feel like you're being watched by the cashier but you never feel pressured to buy anything.

I spoke with the owner and gave a description of the colors and mood I wanted to send to my daughter for her graduation from college and starting her first day at REAL work. She listened and took notes and really seemed to understand how special this was for me. What was really a very nice, classy touch is that they sent me a photo of the flowers so I know I got my money's worth. And I sure did! They were gorgeous, healthy and artfully arranged! I experienced great personal service from someone kind who was selling a quality product! Highly recommend this small business as...THEY TRY HARDER!

I purchased the vegan white chocolate raspberry cookie at the pop up location at the downtown…read moreBloomington farmer's market. "Vegan" was clearly written on the blackboard outside the door, on the basket holding the cookies, and on the packaging of each individual cookie. On the ingredients list on the individually wrapped cookies, it states "egg" as one of the primary ingredients. Eggs are not vegan. This could cause stomach upset or an allergic reaction to someone expecting the "vegan" cookie to actually be vegan. I had to throw out the cookie I bought as I could not eat it. I would suggest removing the vegan label associated with this recipe.

We happened to visit on a Saturday during the farmers market, a time during which the full museum (essentially the whole building) is free as well! (Otherwise adults are $5 and seniors over 65 are $4). We were very impressed by this local museum and would compare it to the museum at the St. Louis Arch. Educational with lots of artifacts and some interactive portions - great for history buffs and families! The building itself is also beautiful architecturally inside and out which we enjoyed. Lots of cool things in the gift shop, including the bean pots that Steak n Shake used to sell baked beans in prior to removing them from their menus during the pandemic (RIP to my favorite fast food restaurant side). They also sell and stamp the Route 66 and National Park passports here. Definitely worth a stop!

What was delivered was completely different and charged at the very top of my budget, not what had been presented. After multiple calls trying to resolve it and a specific request to leave the recipient out of the situation, they made the astonishing decision to return to the recipient's home, remove the arrangement, and issue a full refund. I can accept a disappointing arrangement. I cannot accept poor communication, unprofessional behavior, and repeated bad judgment. One of the strangest customer experiences I've had. I won't be back.
