“Stopped in just to browse, ended up buying a handmade candle and some local honey. This place is packed with West Virginia–made stuff—felt more like a cozy little gallery than a gift shop. The woman working was super friendly. Plenty of street parking nearby. Kinda charming and unexpected, honestly)”
— Cyril Linton★★★★★
“Great local spot celebrating everything West Virginia. They offer a large array of items, and the majority of them are from local artisans across the state. Some things are a little pricey, but that's to be expected from small batch, handmade items. Very unique store worth visiting.”
— Justin Sowards★★★★★
