“I gave Westdale Floral a mission and a budget: make a bright, beautiful bouquet for my artistic mother in law's 80th birthday. Designer's choice!
Boy did they ever come through! The flowers are gorgeous and so bright and lovely. It was obvious the designer had fun with the assignment and the arrangement was just stunning. Pictures just don't do the colors justice.
Thank you from a satisfied and repeat customer! Having a local florist with a talented design staff is worth its weight in gold. Y'all are amazing!”
“Wonderful service!!! So helpful and easy to work with. Great selection with good lighting and quality products. I have been to many tile stores in the Metro and Rubble is by far my favorite!”
“The House Of Kariel has an amazing selection of beautiful furniture and home décor at a very reasonable price. If you are in the area I highly recommend stopping by to see what might catch your eye. Also Tricia is such a sweetheart and is so helpful!”
“Love this place! They have so many different unique items and it is forever changing inventory. I am a Real State agent and I love to find the perfect pieces for my home and staging my clients homes. LOVE THIS PLACE”

“Stopping at Lotus Lake is a Small Business Saturday tradition in my family! The shop is full of cute gifts that are reasonably priced. The staff are friendly, helpful, and always available to answer questions or provide recommendations.”
“My 99 year old father in law sells his Antique Treasures here almost all the sellers are who are the workers there they each work 2 days per month when selling goods at this store... so if you get a bad experience with a worker mostly they won't be in there the next time if you try them again! Most of the people selling in there are Antiques Themselves! Nice people and caring you can offer them less it never hurts to ask. It's Great they have this place to keep them busy and memories of times gone by”
“Amazing! This place had countless of trees with so many apples! I found many good ones, there wasn't even that much bad apples! This place isn't also too busy, so you can actually have some peace and quiet. The gift shop was super cool to, it had these wood carved snowmen, and many other options of wooden decoration! Although the items were expensive, I'm happy to support a local business! The owners were really nice, they explained the process of making all the wooden stuff. The apples are absolutely delicious, will be coming back again soon!”
“The cutest little Christian store in the area! There's so much to chose from. From items with quotes, to clothing items, children's toys, Christmas items, kitchen items, jewelry, books, journals, and so much more! We went here looking for a few gifts for someone we know that just lost her mom and we found the perfect candle and devotional book. The employees are very friendly and there if you have any questions. The price range varies depending on the item. You can find things that are reasonable priced to more expensive pieces. I loved the cozy atmosphere. This is a store you could walk around over and over again and find things you didn't see before!”

“This is a review for the Virtual Consultant. I needed help selecting paint colors and a floor stain for my new home. Gabby was such an excellent consultant. She prepared a detailed presentation prior to our scheduled meeting which was also incredibly helpful. I would highly recommend this service!”

350 Water St, Excelsior“Golden Rule is an absolute oasis. Every corner of the shop is filled with beautiful things for your eyes to feast upon, and it always smells magnificent. It truly is an experience from the moment you pass through the front door. Not to mention the immaculate collection of art, candles, jewelry, and the best (and cutest) sock section in the twin cities! I recommend this shop to everyone that I know, from locals to visitors. There’s something for everyone!”
“Outstanding store. The owner helped me pick out amazing gifts for my beloved. I’ll be going back for others in the future.
Great selection of cards and all sorts of keepsakes. That along with the personal touch and conversation with the owner was a pleasure.”
“I absolutely love this store. Every one is friendly and helpful. I always shop here for special gifts. I’m soooo glad it’s in my neighborhood. I always bring my family and friends, it’s a must see destination and shop! Thank you for having the best home decor, jewelry and unique clothes. Chris Almand”
“I first walked into the IDC during the height of the pandemic and said I needed to furnish a newly purchased townhome, that I knew what I wanted but that I intensely dislike shopping. During the following months Dawn and Denise could not have been more helpful. They not only heard what I was saying, they listened. My time was never wasted and I was never pressured but was shown items in keeping with what I had said I needed and wanted. I do not live in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area so considerable communication took place by phone and email with Dawn always keeping Denise current as related to items under consideration and decisions made while Denise did the same with Dawn. Not once was there even the slightest miscommunication. When we learned due to the pandemic the factory in Finland had stopped making dining tables and chairs Denise contacted someone at the factory to ask if they could please make the one table and 4 chairs I wanted from stock on hand AND THEY DID!!! I was grateful beyond words to think she had done this and that those at the factory had agreed. Three times Kevin and Rick delivered items to my home and each time I was impressed by their work habits. Kevin is extremely skilled/talented and a strong leader and I appreciated how he appropriately mentored Rick relating to why things were being done as they were. Every piece was placed exactly where I wanted and I know had I not been happy they'd have moved them. Whether ordered from Finland or Norway or bought off the floor, I could not be more pleased with the quality of the many pieces from the IDC and as important, could not be happier with the experience I had working with Dawn, Denise, Kevin and Rick. They were exceptional.”
“This place has everything and amazing help. I bought 3 yards of fabric a few weeks ago. After an hour of looking around I finally asked for help. They pointed me to the isle I would find that type of fabric and low and behold, I was able.to buy more to finish my project!
Just keep in mind, all sales are final but most things are half priced from the sticker price listed. Wortha visit!”
“I worked with Ethan Decorators on different homes. Both experiences exceeded my expectations. The decorators are talented and creative. Ethan Allen's furniture is very high quality and lasts a lifetime.”
“Best craft store there is! The biggest selection of crafts in every category. I've never gone there without finding exactly what I needed! They also have a lot of nice home storage and decor things. The staff is always friendly, and the shopping ambiance is so relaxing and fun. I leave there feeling happy and excited to work on my latest craft project.”
“Loved this shop! It has something for everyone, I was hunting for a tea towel for my mom for Christmas and I found that and a unique puzzle for her, viking socks for my dad, and portable dauchaund Bluetooth speaker for my daughter Can't wait to stop there again!”
“This is such a cool little shop! They have the best seasonal gadgets and decorations and lots of other cute Knick knacks (which are not usually my thing) and other items that make the best gifts. They have the best Montessori style toys and the cutest blankets and keepsakes. The one major negative is that it is quite pricy, which is why I do more browsing than shopping! However, if you need a unique, quality gift, this is a great place to look!!”
“Great selection, owner was extremely knowledgeable and was so excited to show us what he has to offer. It made the process fun and you could tell he is in the exact line of business he was made for. We tell everyone to go here who asks!”
“Anna and Liz were amazing! They helped my boyfriend and I pick out the best dresser for our bedroom. All of the furniture is so gorgeous and I love that everything is so unique and always changing out. I stalk Instagram just to ensure the pieces I love stay put while I measure for them. I can't wait to return and buy a console for our entertainment center once our basement is complete!Thank you Minneapolis Team! ♡”
“Cody and Bryce were both super helpful! My husband and I came in during the labor day sale, after hours of searching other stores. Cody walked us through the different options available and helped us find our initial sleep number. When we came back to purchase, Bryce walked through that entire process with us, got us set up on the app, and scheduled our delivery. Both guys were personable, knowledgable of the product, and you can tell they care about the customer. We can't wait for our new sleep number and to refer people to the EP location!”
“So many gifts ideas. I really enjoy looking at their fine jewelry. It could get a little pricey.
Location is find to spot in a busy shopping center. Plenty of parking.”
“There is no other place quite like JMD in Wayzata. It's my happy place and everyone there treats you like a friend. Julia is one of the most creative and artistic people I know.....everything she touches becomes beautiful. And that is especially true for the silver! If you ever need a gift that people will cherish, have a piece of silver painted for them. I have many pieces in my home and friends always comment on them. Thank you JMD for all the joy you bring to others!”
