The shop felt like spring and summer from the moment I walked in. I could mentally feel the sand between my toes. There are some cute Girlie Girl and Simply Southern t-shirts in bright colors or phrases celebrating the south. And, with a t-shirt purchase, comes a free pair of flip-flops. It's hard to go wrong with that. What a way to kick off the season. But that isn't all. The other half of the front room has garden items, both cute and unusual, from the tiny bird houses/bird feeders, to the owl decorations and the wall hangings celebrating our four legged friends. The back room has handbags, candles, soaps and shea butter lotions and fragrances. Many of them are made in North Carolina. For someone wanting to special-order a personal design, there's an embroidery machine and some solid color t-shirts on site. Rusted Shovel is a perfectly charming store to get ready for the changing seasons. It's an affirmation that not all good things are only found in the big towns and cities.

I finally made it to the Mt. Olive Pickle Parlor when it was open, and I could go inside! I'd been…read morewanting to go to Mt. Olive's Pickle Gift Shop since it was located inside the Mt. Olive Pickle Company. Then last year, I saw that The Pickle Parlor opened. I did stop by last July, but I knew the Pickle Parlor wouldn't be open, so I stopped anyway and peeked in the windows. The Pickle Parlor is located in Downtown Mt. Olive. It serves as a gift shop and museum for Mt. Olive Pickle. The store is around 3,000 square feet. When you walk inside, you will first notice the bar area and the shiny ceilings. The decor resembles that of the 1920s, as Mt. Olive Pickle opened in 1926. The ceilings replicate punched tin. The colors in the store match the brand colors. There are photos of Mt. Olive employees on the walls, too. In the back of the store are some chairs and a TV playing a video about Mt. Olive Pickles' 100 years. The area is shaped like a pickle barrel. This is the best way to see how Mt. Olive Pickle operates, as tours of the facility are not offered. Some of the walls have details about the history of the company among the items for sale. They sell everything from t-shirts to hats to tote bags to ornaments to cotton candy to koozies to umbrellas to popcorn to pickles to relishes to even some of the canned dill pickle soda. The bar has regular sodas available, too. If you can't make it to the store, they have an online store and can ship items to you. The video is also available on the website in the FAQS section about tours. I did expect to sample some pickles as I had read about a "pickle bar". I did get to sample the pickle soda when I asked about it. It is bright green, but I enjoyed it and even bought a can to take with me. It is a unique taste. After you finish your visit to the Pickle Parlor, the Train Depot is located behind the store. After you see the Mt. Olive Pickle Mural, keep going and turn right. There will be a sign for the Train Depot. Then, on the other side of the train tracks that run through the center of town, are two more murals: one was recently completed by Max Dowdle, as he is painting a mural in each county of NC, and the other is a tribute to Mt. Olive.
