We quickly found gifts for several family members, and some unique Pottery for our own collection. The staff was nice enough to hold our packages for us while we continued to tour. Great art, great customer service... a great experience all around! NOTE: If you are visiting with children, please note that almost everything in the store is breakable. The staff are very patient with children, but you will need to keep an eye on your children all times.

Lemontree Gallery and Studio (LGAS) is a beautifully curated art gallery. It was one of the few…read moreplaces that were open in Cape Charles during our visit and the whole vibe of it starting from the front patio was intriguing, so we popped our heads in. The lady working in the studio was conversing with a patron but made sure to welcome us when we walked in. The gallery is very bright inside and the colors of all the different artwork just added to the vibe. The gallery houses quite a number of artwork without it being too overcrowded. They have a mix of large paintings, ceramics, unique jewelry and even furniture. This is the kind of place that I wish I had more time to walk around in alone, but I was with my family so I did the quickest scan I could haha. I noticed things like painted oyster shells (LOVE this type of art), unique jewelry that feels like a soft plastic/silicone/rubber (I'm probably severely mistaken on the type of material), but it was beautiful, very flat, to almost make the appearance that the jewelry is actually a painting on your skin. There was also handmade earrings made with leather pieces. There was an interesting section of large seahorses that was kind of "bedazzled" for lack of a better word, adorned in jewels. They have this beautiful spacious corner in the back, a stage with a piano and the beautiful brick wall with all sorts of paintings. Not sure if they do some sort of mini concert every now and then. That would be fun! Prices range from small ticketed items to obviously higher for the paintings and other large works of art. My mother-in-law ended up purchasing some metal butterflies. Definitely worth sticking your head in, taking in the beautiful art and picking up some unique gifts! It's marked with a bright yellow awning, hence the name Lemontree (duh!), the lemon cushions on the patio furniture and yes, you guessed it, a lemon tree. Stay safe, Friends!
