Located next to the converted and renovated Fire Station 1 in Downtown Roanoke, Virginia, The award…read morewinning French Farmhouse Home Market is a cozy white painted brick-walled shop carrying modern farmhouse home decor, furniture, and lighting. Their style blends the past and present and is inspired by the rustic yet elegant villas of the French countryside and the clean and down-to-earth feel of the American farmhouse style. By its beautiful showroom you would think it's prices are very expensive, but they are not. They are reasonable and comparable to Pier 1. They carry high quality, beautiful, and very unique items, like vases, watering cans, and framed prints. Many items that would make wonderful gifts. Their products are hand-selected and blend the past and present. The French Farmhouse also sells unique products, including handmade items by small business makers and European antiques. A visit to this elegant store, which opened in 2021 and is locally owned by Ashly Lawson, a Franklin County native, is a very enjoying experience. When I visited the store last week I was greeted by a very friendly elegant lady, who was very cordial and answered all my questions about the store and its products and unique gifts. I highly recommend that whenever you're in Downtown, Roanoke, you go visit the store. You will enjoy the visit, and maybe discover one of those home decoration items of your dreams.

Sooooooo cute!…read more I've been following this shop on Instagram for a while but haven't been able to come inside just yet bc they were closed during my last time in town. I love the location - right beside the newly opened and renovated Firehouse 1 building. These two cute spaces compliment each other well and with the beautiful hand-made TXTUR store next door - you can really get some beautiful decor and home goods between the two. This shop is small - but packed with beautiful items that fit the name - French shabby chic farmhouse. I saw a ton of things I'd love to buy. Candles, dinnerware, candlesticks, salt and pepper shakers and wells, t-shirts, a little jewelry, pillows, seasonal decor, etc. The gal behind the counter was very friendly and they have a website and sell gift cards. I found some CUTE fall pumpkin and halloween items to die for inside as well as a honey well and a cute small stoneware jewelry dish. Highly, highly recommend you stop in if you at all love French shabby chic! (Note - the space upstairs is also an event venue)

There are times when we are fortunate enough to find a very special business, and this is precisely…read morewhat I found while traveling down Franklin Road in search of gift shops, during this special time of the year. For what I found inside this place was more than just beautiful gifts, I found the gift of a friendly and welcoming environment where you can feel at home at, while shopping for gifts for those special people in your life, and then relax drinking a cup of coffee at their Coffee Bar. After being awarded the Yelp NC Triad Squad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, celebrating their contributions and accomplishments throughout the year, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and businesses, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Abide ( Home Goods & Coffee) in Roanoke, Virginia, is a perfect example. This women-owned, cozy home goods store and coffee shop, opened its doors around 6 months ago and many of us didn't even know it existed. As I entered the shop, the first thing I saw on the main wall was the name Abide, followed by a short definition. But I immediately thought to myself one of my favorite Bible verses from John 15:7 : "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you." Then as I looked down, behind the main counter of the shop, I met the store owner herself. She graciously welcomed me and was surprised when I acknowledged that she must be a German Baptist, not only from the way she was dressed, but by the kindness in her heart. The gift shop had a wonderful selection of quality merchandise, including home goods, clothing, plants, and books, among other things. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and its amazing merchandise. Everything was so clean and organized. The place had beautiful hardwood floors, white walls and ceiling, and an amazing lighting treatment. On the right end of the store was their Coffee Bar, with an excellent menu of amazing crafted coffees, frappes, and lattes, as well as a variety of pastries, and one of the nicest, modern coffee makers that I have ever seen. The owner's daughter was in charge of making the coffee. While watching other customers having coffee, I got encouraged to have one too, and ordered a medium Iced Bit-O-Honey Latte, made with caramel and honey. It was very refreshing and delicious. I didn't have nothing to eat because afterwards I had plans to have dinner at a new Mexican Restaurant that just had opened a few days ago. After I paid for the coffee at the main counter, I thanked the owner for such a lovely experience exploring her shop and enjoying her coffee. I highly recommend and encourage all of you reading my review to visit this place and give them your wholehearted support.

The items I've purchased from Tonja are heirloom quality and make my home feel cozy and inviting. Highly recommend!
