I never visited the NoDa spot, but I visited the B for the Big Fat Wrapping Party this past Christmas and had a ball with the owners! They were super cool, very helpful and open and funny.
As for the merch, I've worn the jewelry I bought there almost every day since. When do you not need six hammered silver and gold bangles? They were a MUST, and at 3 for $15, a steal! Ditto for the two pairs of earrings. They have so much cute, locally made inventory that you have to make several rounds on the floor. I guarantee you'll see something gorgeous that you missed the first or second time around.
In fact, I saw so much that I liked, I was almost afraid to come back. But, yeah, you get over that...
