Any Charlotte shoppers out there?

I'll be visiting Charlotte for a few days soon. Are there any good one-of-a-kind gardening shops that I should see while I'm there? I'd like to do a little shopping one day for some fun garden art, birdhouses, decor, a planter, windchime, a great book on gardening, or anything related. Any suggestions on where we should go? (I'll be staying in the Ballentine? / Ballentyne? area but we can drive anywhere in the Charlotte area). Thanks!

You need to go to the Cannon Mills Outlet mall. Huge place. Good prices.
Eat at Lapaz good food.
