Anastazia Treasures For the Home Itd

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses.
I like to go to Anastazia for great decorating ideas — and usually end up spending lots of money every time I walk through the door. Prices are reasonable –especially after holidays when they put their items on sale. I live In Geneva and have always enjoyed shopping there until today. Don is great — always friendly and professional. But today I had a bad experience with one of the ladies who works there. It was cold and rainy. I had just walked out of store with a big bag of goodies when I realized that I was separated from my family and had left my cell phone at Home. I went back inside to ask if I could use their phone. (again, it was raining!!). You would have thought I had asked for the keys to the kingdom. The lady said NOTHING to me — just shook her head ‘no’ and looked at me like I was crazy. Really? I just spent $ 100 in there! (She was also rude to me during my check out — luckily the other lady there was very pleasant or else I would have left without buying anything.) In the end — with encouragement from her (nice) coworker she reluctantly handed me the phone — still shaking her head and giving me the stink-​eye. I really just dont understand what the problem was. I mean… Ever heard of treating your customers well so they want to come back?!? For me the saying «one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch» rings true here. Not sure I want to go back and risk facing the cranky sales lady again.

I really like this store — it has some similar items as some of the other stores in Geneva, but they have some unique items as well. They have everything from seasonal decorations to candles, jewelry, pictures, you name it! They really pack in the goods for how small of a store it is! You can definitely find some cute items here for gifts or for your own home!

It becomes clear when you hit about the tenth home décor store that you have your mom in town visiting…
and you realize that your house is in desperate need of a little re-​vamping. My mom was in fact in town and on the trip into Anastazia you feel like you’ve just slipped into a home fantasy.
How does that even come out.home.fantasy.décor…hmm. Well it does. The store is genius, the staff will talk to you like you have been long time companions for years. We walked inside, and the wonderful Angel greeted us. I, (of course, holding the constant accessory-​caribou paper cup) asked if the coffee needed to be taken up to the front. Not necessary, you can carry your liquid beverage around. Her only request, that the next time, you bring her a cup too!
The shoppe smells divine, it is so warm and filled with such natural light you’d think you were in a greenhouse for the house. Strange but go with me here, because we’re in the thick of holiday season there is a massive swarm of christmas cheer inside. Ornaments, serving platters, candles, tree accessories…
For the rest of the merchandise, this is Pottery Barn meets your local variety. The owner buys exclusively and only in small bunches so this isn’t like the third grade. You know, your mom bought you a sweater that you had been begging for in the store, pouting until you got it, and on the day you wore it to school…5 other people wore it that day too. Not here, once something is gone, there’s something else entirely different or similiar that is brought in. So if you see something you like, snag it while you can.
A where’s waldo report is to keep on the lookout for local glassblown artwork of used Patron tequila bottles. This is a sight for sore eyes, the bottles are twisted and contorted into different shapes, sized and uses of all sorts. A definite steal if you’re looking for an intricate and unique vase for short stemmed flowers or even a place to put your mail.
Lovely décor shoppe that I will be frequenting once the holiday cheer dies down. Not the cheer, but the holiday decorating items. Come spring, the warm and deep autumn colors will be replaced by the bright and airy pastels.
