Loved the unique gifts and custom stationery/paper offered in the shop.

Would definitely recommend them to locals looking to place custom orders and to visitors looking for some unique gift ideas. I'll be back when I'm in town!

SHOPPING EXTAVAGANZA! Wowwwwww Weeeee…read more..... Was in Chris Brown's childhood hometown, Tappahanock, Va. and ran across this sensational shop. Tappahanock although a small town near the bay noticeably has charm and a smig of culture. As I was driving on Route 17, I noticed the bright colored flags flying in the wind outside this store. I actually drove by but the items on the front porch and colorful flags caught my attention & made me turn around. YIPPEE, glad I did. Oh where, oh where do I start?!? Jewelry by Waxing Poetic, calendars, appointment books, bottle holders key rings, etc. by Lilly Pulitzer, Lafco candles, serving-ware, napkins, house flags, sleep wear, make up bags, travel case, greeting cards and much more. I shopped for over an hour as there were upstairs, downstairs rooms and the front porch area that displayed a multitude of things to browse through. All the items on the front porch area were 50% off. Can you say BARGAIN!!!! Once I finally finished shopping, I could not believe the price I paid. I thought they had not charged me for all the items I selected and was a Happy Camper once the sales associate reported she had charged me for all items. She even jokingly said she would charge me more if I wanted. In the words of the infamous Sweet Brown, "Ain't nobody got time for that". I am so elated about my LP appointment book, LP gifts for friends, several sleep wear tops, travel shoe shine kit, and ornate book markers. Customer Service is excellent. The sales associates/owner(s) are courteous and are not hovering over you as you shop. Can't wait until next month when I'm headed back down that way. You best believe I will be stopping here to shop. If you are ever near this place, you must stop in buy gifts for others or yourself. Happy Shopping!!!
