''If you like little shops with a quaint atmosphere, then this is the place to be. It has many little shops, with a variety of merchandise to purchase. It's never crowded like the malls, but still provides the quality one might find in the merchandise from the mall. Actually, probably better.

So go shopping in the quaint little cotton exchange, then have lunch at one of the little resturants down by the river. On the cobblestone streets, you can't go wrong....''

The staff took the time to correct the problem that night and I had the invitations ready to go the next day. I really appreciated the step that they took to correct the problem! The staff were extremely helpful with selection too....''

''This is a great shop located at the Cotton Exchange on Water Street in Wilmington...I drive about an hour from home just to go here! They can have some pricey items, but Wilmington is an expensive town so it makes sense... otherwise their oils, inscense and other products which vary greatly, but all centralize around Aromatherapy, are great quality and they even make they're oils right there in the shop!!! You can even have your own customized scent created, and you get to name it....It a wonder...''
