THE VINTAGE OWL!…read more This little gift shop is located in the heart of downtown Lavonia and it is simply adorable. We were in town to attend their fall festival when we noticed that this store was open very early! Score! We wondered in and browsed their vast selection of wares: sweaters, southern inspired tees, collegiate spirit wear and related items, Christian greeting cards, kitchen accessories, general clothing options, bags, an infant room that was stocked with baby clothing and related items and of course jewelry. There was so much to see that you would need a generous amount of time to explore it all. We had a specific schedule so we were not able to stay as long as we would have liked. We actually got caught up in the jewelry section where they had the "ever so popular" memory bracelets which can be personalized as you get to select the pop-in pieces to finish the item of your choice. You may choose from bracelets, lockets or earrings and everything happened to be on sale today so the prices were great. They had a VAST selection of the "pop in" pieces so my husband and I spent a significant amount of time (with owner assistance), digging through the bins to find the right pieces, (we needed five snap buttons to complete our toggle and clasp bracelet). To personalize my daughter's bracelet, I chose the following buttons: UGA, family, little sister, MRS, the initial J and "I love mom". They also had neutral pieces that are just "pretty or sparkly" so you don't necessary have to have a specific message on your button. I knew that she would love the bracelet because she really appreciates jewelry that has meaning and she usually just shops my cabinet but now she has something that was purchased specifically for her. With the bracelets, you have the option of purchasing them with an elastic band or a toggle clasp. The clasp is going to be more durable and it is adjustable so consider this when purchasing. Also, pieces can be added and removed as desired which means that you can continue to add additional pieces for special occasions and significant milestones. The options are endless! During the transition from September to October, I love to decorate, inside and out. The outside is decorated with scarecrows, pumpkins, cornstalks and garden stakes while the inside is also dressed in fall splendor. We love it! The Vintage Owl is a great option for finding fall accents and pieces that add a bit of warmth and whimsy. When visiting the town of Lavonia, this little shop is a must stop on your tour. It is the perfect place to buy gifts for others, or to get something for your home or yourself. The staff was very helpful and we enjoyed our time here. Definitely recommended!
