So when we saw A & W, we had to stop! Even before you enter this antique Mecca, you come to a porch full of treasures! Yep! We're porch pickers all right! We discovered many finds here! They carry some great inventory... really cool oil lamps, baskets galore, vintage jewelry, rustic furniture, artwork and old signs, figurines, kitchenware, and everything from A-Z... or well, should I say, A-W!! To all you antique hunters, if you're near the Charlottesville area, on Route 250, be sure to visit this spot... you won't leave empty handed and and wallet will love you!

I highly recommend this shop full of locally made gifts and goodies if you're in Crozet and looking…read moreto spend some dollars. It's open on Sundays too, always a plus.  Their website tells me that the Crozet Artisan Depot offers handmade items from over 70 artisans in the region. Wow, that's terrific. Though I browsed through plenty of awesome things, I ended up getting some goat milk soap from Wynott Farm and some funky chocolates from Cocoa & Spice. There's also a tourist area in the back with brochures and a staffer ready to assist in case you need some recommendations for attractions and activities. A restroom is available nearby too.  The Depot is, fittingly enough, located in an old historic train depot. It has a small parking lot attached to it, though I observed some people parking in there and walking across the street which didn't seem too kosher.

They also ship gifts, which I LOVE! and shipping local is free and within the US is free for purchases over $50! Small businesses rock, and I especially love this one!!

Everyone there was so happy and welcoming and we already can't wait to return the next time we are in need of a gift! Basketful has great items for anyone on your list from welcoming a neighbor, to sips and sits, children's gifts, traveling gifts, pets, and more! They will even create baskets from afar to serve people in our local #cville area! This could be your parents who don't want to send you money, or friends who know you may be getting married who can't attend. The gifting possibilities are endless! Of course we HAD to pick up some items of our own and these were some of our favorites which was hard enough to narrow down! Here's what we brought home today! 1. Flip Vase! Choose your own cute plants to put in this mini flipable notepad! The pages/vases change on each page and the mini vase holds water! 2. Dual candle with cactus and mango leaf scents! The candles smell amazing and I plan to reuse this as decor for another planter when the candles are done! 3. Picnic or throw blanket with the cutest combination of colors! I loved the theme we choose for our items! 4. Incense by YUYA NO SHIZUKU in the fragrance Water Dragon from Japan.

I was impressed with the size of this toy store and excited to see that they carry many of my favorite toy brands like Folkmantis, Calico Critters and Ravensberger puzzles. They had a lot of fun sounding games I hadn't heard of as well. Aside from high quality toys and puzzles Shenanigans also had some really nice seasonal stuff like Advent calendars. My husband and I explored for quite awhile and finally landed on a Jellycat branded stuffed animal for a friend. For such a lovely store I would have expected there to be a little bit more in the way of service. For the fifteen minutes we spent in there the only acknowledgement we received was three words when we checked out - twenty-three seventeen. Maybe the employee was just having a hard day.
