I spent a solid hour, just looking at everything and was able to select a few small gifts.

So many different flavors of salt water taffy.... didn't realize there were so many. Loved seeing all the antiques throughout the place. Upstairs they have some local arts and crafts to check out. As well as a stage that was set to see Santa clause during the holidays. I purchased a few Charleston chew bars, they had chocolate and strawberry... hard to find flavors. $1.99 each a lot more than other stores but not always available.

And when I bring a speical order of dark chocolate peanut turles home to hubby - I created a chocoholic monster - more, more, more. The store is ever changing with new gift ideas including gifts, vintage collectibles and so much more. I like the seed cards - the recipient just plants them. It is fun to shop in the corners - yet the chocolate (gluten free peanut butter fudge) keeps drawing me back. Scrumpdiddlyumptious!!!!!

In 2011 a young friend was receiving his Eagle Scout badge, and I had been asked to participate in…read morethe ceremony. It seemed appropriate to present the scout with a plaque, so I set out to find a local shop to engrave a brass plate. The prices exceeded anything I was expecting, so I took to the internet and found Halex Awards. Their prices were almost half of any I could find near my home in Northern Virginia. Over the past 13 years, I have ordered a total of 19 brass plates from Halex Awards for use on military, scouting, and personal awards. In every instance, they have provided excellent and prompt service. In 2011, I made a mistake on an order, AND even after confirming it via email follow-up, David replaced the plate at no additional cost . . . he even shipped it (again) for free. Finally, in 2016, I decided to conduct another pricing comparison just to be sure I was paying a reasonable amount. I can attest that Halex Award's pricing is ABSOLUTELY the lowest I've been able to find. Reasonable cost, EXCELLENT service, provided promptly, and an end-product that is simply fantastic . . . what more can one ask?

The hours are hard to discern. I have even showed up during the posted hours to a closed shop. Disappointing to say the least as this place is a bit out if the way. Do yourself a favor and call first. I would also recommend leaving large bags and bulky winter clothing in the car. I have knocked something over more than once as they have very little room to walk.

I did not purchase anything this visit but I will definitely be back for more drinks and to peruse the shop selection.

Inside of this paint and furniture refinishing store is a cute little coffee shop run by staff inside of the purple painted lady! I was lucky enough to talk to the owner, Trish, who has built this place from the bottom up! I ordered a Maple Brown Sugar Latte and it was so good! My mom was able to go with me this time and ordered the Honey Lavender latte. She said she would order it again and loved it. Unlike me, my mother likes fruitier drinks. I on the other hand love sweeter drinks and my maple brown sugar latte lived up to that hype! While I was here, I picked up a cute souvenir from Rochester for my boyfriend and picked up some pumpkin butter for me! I also picked up some paint for a chair I'm repainting for our house and can't wait to use more chalk paint in the future (it's my favorite to paint with). The prices aren't awful as well! For a sampler can of lavender chalk paint, pumpkin butter, a sticker, two lattes, and a cute sign for mine and my boyfriend's house I spent around $35-$40 for everything. This year, I'm also excited to return to Rochester to hit up the Purple Painted Lady festival in September! (9/20/25-9/21/25). The charity they are sponsoring this year is the EYS - Embrace your Sisters foundation that supports Breast Cancer. I can't wait to come back for this festival because the foundation is so near and dear to my heart as my mother and grandmother are both survivors of breast cancer. I'm definitely returning before I leave for Boston to get another latte!
