| | |  Noltie's Botanical Novelties
Noltie's Botanical Novelties is a peculiar little shop which looks as though humanity has abandoned it entirely and nature is trying its best to take over. While the storefront is similar in appearance to the stores on either side, tendrils of plants have broken through and weaved in and out of the brickwork and there are strange and beautiful flowers seemingly growing right out of the mortar.
Inside the store its generally humid like a greenhouse and it smells fresh and loamy - definitely heaven for anyone with the proverbial green thumb. The plants are organised by their geographic origins, and as you approach certain areas you might notice temperature changes and weather charms expertly in place to best serve the plants in question.
Noltie's prides itself on acquiring and stocking only the best magical and mundane herbology supplies. Even those plants which are not on the permanent inventory can be acquired on request, so too can almost any non-magical plant, for a price. Nothing illegal is stocked here. Noltie's will not sell dangerous plants to minors, or anything that requires a license without the appropriate paperwork, everything in this store is above board, though we have heard there is a shop in Knockturn Alley that takes care of that sort of thing...
This shop is owned by an NPC and is a part of the IC Shopkeeper initiative. For details, please see this thread.

Originally Posted by Chelliephone  Both sounded like it made sense. At least it wasn’t just about the connections, like a lot of different routes seemed to be. “Outshining everyone is something I imagine you can do, so I’m sure you’ll get your break.” She WAS gorgeous, so Shay imagined it was nigh impossible to not have your eye drawn to the girl when she was performing. Maybe that was something she could get a future ticket to from Avery - again, out of curiosity of course.
She loved being predictable - honestly. Knowing Julia was already anticipating what she might have been thinking would have brought her large amounts of amusement and pleasure. But it was fun to keep one on their toes too - mix things up by giving the occasional break from her flirtatious nature. With any luck, maybe the other girl would miss it or just spend more time later thinking about what it could have been. “Being the youngest is the best I imagine. By default, doesn’t that give you a pass to delegate some of the responsibility?” Perks of having been born second, right? Though that was just what she figured having observed the Sawyer’s. The youngest certainly had it made in that family.
While she didn’t mind terribly talking about her brother, it was still appreciated when people backed off. So Julia just got a return smile at her nod while the red head happily moved on to other topics.
At the mention of being forwarded, Shay threw her head back and laughed before regaining her composure quickly and giving a small shrug. “Ever notice how much time people waste with subtlety? Life’s too short to not be direct.” One of her mottos, as it were. “Is the idea of me seeing you again not welcomed?” She wasn’t a monster, if she was making the girl uncomfortable she could certainly back off. But she was taking the blush to her cheeks, present moment included, as a good sign. Yet another comment made her cheeks feel slightly warmer than they normally would have. Fortunately this time her skin didn't get warm enough to redden. If anything it was a light shade of pink. But Julia could not deny that she knew how to outshine people. She had done it more times than she could count in her youth, left her mark at Beauxbatons, and had even gotten into WADA. Things just got a little more muddled at the performing arts school with all that talent under one roof. "It'll be if it's meant to be," she responded with a smile. Even if fame and glory didn't happen, at least she'd be doing something she loved.
"It does have its perks. I certainly am the baby of the family," the brunette had to admit. "But, at the same time, there is a lot of pressure that comes with it. If you have a sister like mine, there's quite a bit you have to live up to." Which was why she had pushed herself to the brim when it came to dancing. Further details on that were for a later, much later, discussion.
The directness was something that Julia did not mind at all, even if it did ultimately cause her to blush in front of someone she had just met. In fact, she found herself not able to disagree with Siofra's words at all, though she couldn't say she paid much attention to the amount of time people wasted by beating around the bush. "You're not wrong," she commented. "Carpe diem and all of that."
Now, in response to the last phrase that came out of the redhead's mouth, the brunette smirked a little. "To be determined," she teased as they began to walk away from Noltie's. "I guess we'll see where we stand after a few cocktails."
