“We bought our lamp and rug from Max last year and fell in love with it. Not only was Max so incredibly kind and loving, but we make sure to stop by every year we are in town to say hello and see what treasures he has to offer. This year we bought 4 beautiful plates to hang in our kitchen! Can't wait to see the final look. Make sure to stop by when you are looking at all the shops in St. Armands Circle, by far the best in our opinion.”
“From the moment one walks inside a relaxing calm surrounds you. I simply enjoy browsing the great selection of items from singing bowls to books to candles and fragrance. I enjoy the Indian relics as the far east relics. Elysian Fields is just a complete Zen experience”
“I absolutely love Scots Corner! This shop is filled with the most charming and high-quality British and Scottish goods, from beautiful keepsakes to fun little treats you won’t find anywhere else. Their selection of chocolates, biscuits, teas, and authentic foods is incredible — everything tastes fresh and delicious. The staff are always so friendly and helpful, and you can tell they truly care about their customers. Whether you’re shopping for a gift or craving something from across the pond, this store never disappoints!”
“Stopped in for the first time as we are about 1.5hrs south in N. Ft. Myers and what a lovely shop! They have Scandinavian candy, cheese, food, cookbooks and all kinds of items, gifts and more. We were trying to decide whether to buy Icelandic chocolate as I've been researching Iceland as I'd love to visit one day and the woman was so helpful and told us it was delicious and it is! Very nice people and helpful. Wi definitely stop by next time we are up that way!”

“Great place for an evening dinner with a sunset at the beach as a bonus. Mr Jeff took good care of us. I had the pasta dish and asked for it to be spicy and they accommodated. I spent about $35 on one spicy fish and pasta dish. Also the complementary bread was warm, fresh and a crunch on the crust. Will definitely be back.”
“Great quality products and tremendous service. The owners Beth and Gary are clearly very passionate about their business and I was so pleased with the chocolate dipped strawberries I received. I highly recommend them and will be back! Thank you for such a great experience!”
“Jen is the best plant diva around. She knows her stuff, and is more than willing to lend a helping hand when it comes to your plants, even if you didn’t purchase them from her store. She uses high quality soil and natural non-toxic solutions to help the plants if needed. She has more than just plants too, so grab a basket, maybe a shopping cart and come on down to Salt your Soul for all things plants, gifts, and maybe just a nice conversation with Jen while you heal in her purified space with good energy ♥️ oh and, dog friendly ?”
