Allie was amazing! Greeted us right when we walked in and was so kind throughout our time in the store! Ended up walking out with our new favorite wall decor! Service made our day!

Love this store. Sad the one at Stoneridge closed and I have to drive quite a way to get there now.

I'm sorry the Gahanna location closed. I am glad they still have another location to visit, but I won't be going as often because of the distance. A great place to find various unique treasures & trinkets.
