Cockles of My Heart Greeting Card & Candle Cache
The perfect place to pick up that perfect sentiment for that someone special.
Isn’t it amazing how a simple piece of cardstock that’s been folded into a 5×7 booklet, sprinkled with a few kind and/or funny words, can take on new meaning for both the person who selects it and the person who receives it? It can be marvelously enchanting, and we are happy to play a part in enacting this incantation of love and friendship.
We have a card for every occasion. From birthdays to anniversaries, from congratulations to condolences, from proclamations of undying love to simply saying “hi” and “thinking of you.”
Do you have someone in your life who has an obsession with candles of the scented variety? Look no further because we have the market cornered. All of our candles are locally made using beeswax and are scented using the highest quality essential oils. (Our bestsellers include our Fennel & Chamomile and Petitgrain & Juniper Berry. Give ’em a whiff, and you may just want to buy both. Although…if you three candles, you get the fourth free.) Rest easy that we package our candles in heat-proof containers.
The Cockles of My Heart Greeting Card & Candle Cache is your one-stop shop for greeting cards, postcards, gift wrap, and, of course, candles. We’re open every day from 8:30 am to 5 pm. Gift wrapping services are available on request for the exceedingly busy customer or for the customer who is not as dexterous with wrapping paper and ribbon. We want to make sure your gift and its presentation help to make your special moment just that.

DO NOT GO TO THIS STORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’ve been warned.
The owner of this place should drop the “Deal” from their name.
I tried to sell my pocket watch because I needed some money to get a gift for my girlfriend. The owner, Swinde, tells me it’s only worth $700. It’s an 18K gold pocket watch, with a crystal face, and blue enamel on the hour markers. I have it on good authority its worth is close to more like $3,500!
She then had the nerve to try and pawn off some hair combs that coincidentally cost $682.
The store is dirty and everything is overpriced. The only thing redeeming about this place was the shop’s cat…

It’s a shame this was the one building that didn’t go up in flames during the Great Nollag Fire…
Mean? Yes. But if you’ve ever shopped here, you’ll understand why most people only come if they’re desperate or to satisfy a morbid curiosity.

The only thing I liked in this place was the cat, but Cuddlebum wasn’t for sale. 😦
Dignified Digs
Folks,
- Do you find yourself walking into a room only to immediately forget why you entered in the first place…because it’s filled to the brim with clutter? Funny, your home was open-concept when you first moved in. Now…well…
- Have you been noticing the foundation of your home settling at an unnatural rate…because it’s so weighted down with junk? Or does your residence resemble that of a maze of carefully carved out paths, the walls of which are precariously constructed of old holiday gifts, outdated clothes, and other objects you’ve been clinging to for “sentimental reasons”?
- Have you ever found your house keys in the refrigerator…because it was the only clean “counter space” available?
- Do you find yourself drowning in unopened mail?
- Are you playing laundry roulette, sifting and sniffing your way through weeks, if not months, of balled up clothes and overflowing baskets? Why put your olfactories through unnecessary risk?
- Have you just considered leaving it all behind, and simply trying to start your life over under an assumed identity?
A messy space can only lead to a cluttered mind.
A cluttered mind obscures and squanders our potential. That’s a risk many of us would not consciously take, and actually rather prefer to avoid. You can’t put a price on a clutter-free space. Actually, you can. It comes at a rate of $65.33 per hour.
Allow Dignified Digs to come in and streamline your space. Fresh eyes will help reveal the fresh start you need to live a calm and stress-free life. Don’t you owe it to yourself to feel centered? Don’t you deserve it?
We guarantee our work and tailor to your organizational needs. If you don’t absolutely love it, we’ll put everything back exactly the way we found it.
The best part is that our services will provide virtual instant gratification. We have been organizing for the better part of two decades, and have it down to a fine art. We practice what we preach. No matter how overwhelming your space may feel, we can have it to your satisfaction in under a week, no matter how bad you may think it is.

I’ll be the first to admit that my apartment looked like a pigsty because I was a bit of a packrat. It got so bad I stopped vacuuming and dusting for a spell, joking that I didn’t have the right since dirt that was collecting in the corners could have been the same dirt tread upon by great figures in history. (I’m not sure why I’m confessing this to you all…)
Anywhooooo…I had a wake-up call in the form of my parents wanting to visit for a week. Dignified Digs was there that afternoon, cleaning supplies, containers, and label maker in hand. They had the place sorted out in two days flat…and somehow didn’t get a speck of dust on their white jumpsuits. It was a bit freaky. They are legit!

Goodness! By the time Mr. and Mrs. Ming had finished with my little cottage, it looked like something out of a fairy tale. I half expected woodland creatures to come and help me bake my famous Gooseberry pies.

They do an excellent job, but they don’t take sarcasm too well. I said I was only mildly pleased with their progress…and they put everything back…even the dust! They do not fool around.
Fabulously Festooned Frocks & Alterations Dress Shopp
You’re a one-of-a-kind lady who deserves a look that is all her own and her’s alone.
We’ll be honest with you. You won’t find “the one” hanging in the back of the rack among the other mass-produced copies of the same gown at some out of the way outlet mall. Even if you did find a dress that you did like, it’s usually woefully ill-fitting. So, you either have to shell out extra money to have it tailored, or you deal with your feelings of disappointment knowing you look like you’re wearing an overly glorified bag that looked way better on the mannequin. Sorry, the truth hurts sometimes.
We seek out pieces because we want something more than just to look nice or be told we “look nice.” Frankly, that’s just an insult wearing a threadbare compliment. Clothing is meant to, and should, make you feel special. The right kind of outfit can simultaneously inspire and infuse us with confidence. No one, including you, should settle for less. Clothing can and should be a powerful thing. Our head designer, Grey Turne, and co-designer, Ophelia O’Leary, have their eyes trained on the unique and the extraordinary with the strict commitment to never forsake quality in the pursuit of fashion, be it a simple classic or something more avant-guard.
At Fabulously Festooned Frocks & Alterations Dress Shopp, we can do this for you. Other stores tout that they will go “above and beyond” for their customers to help them find that standout piece for their wardrobe. We, on the other hand, do not see this type of service as extra, rather it is our standard. We offer custom alterations and an unrivaled personal consulting/shopping experience that you cannot find elsewhere in the entire city of Nollag. Dresses, gowns, and frocks can be modified to suit your style and body shape, be it Pear, Spoon, Hourglass, or Diamond…
All changes are meticulously done by the extremely talented Ophelia O’Leary. You will not be disappointed, ladies, and that is a promise. Frankly, I’ll just let the customer reviews do the rest of the convincing.
-Lovingly Edited by Ophelia O’Leary 😉

Fabulously Festooned Frocks & Alterations Dress Shopp most certainly made good on their promise. You’re bound to find at least one piece that you can’t live without.

Don’t come here if you think the saying “the customer is always right” is a thing. Be warned that Ophelia is always right. Seriously, just do what she says, and you’re going to walk out looking like a million bucks with a hefty 5.4% monthly interest rate.

I told you the navy sheath dress with Queen Ann neckline would be your favorite. I hope you finally parted with that hot pink peasant blouse…and I mean that you threw it away. Gifting it to someone else might be misconstrued as an act of violence.
What’s the Bright Idea, Light Bulb & Lamp Outlet
Well…we sell light bulbs and lamps. They both come in handy in dark times. (For the record, I’m referring to the actual time of day when it is dark outside, but I suppose having a light during the existential dark times can be helpful too. Who am I to judge?)
Simply put, we have your source of lighting at a discount price. What’s it gonna hurt to give us a try?

They do have a quality bulb.
CLW66
True @1#3rtARg0n but beware of the clearance bulb bin. Some of their light bulbs only light on one side.
WtBI?
To be fair @CLW66 that’s why they’re in the clearance bin and only $0.05.
Socket2ME
It’s a little creepy how much these folks know about light bulbs and lamps. Still, they really shed some light on helping me find the best lighting options for my place. (See what I did there?)
WtBI?
@Socket2ME we did see what you did there…we’re not sure if you should have though. Give us a minute. The answer is on the tip of our Tungsten.
