It isn't cheap, but a lot of it is artisan-made. The Gallery is located inside the hotel, it's a mix of a gift shop and a gallery. The Gallery itself is down some stairs in the gift shop section and also near some windows on the same level as the gift shop. They always have rotating artists. In the past, the downstairs part only had art up, but it now looks like they're putting up some things to sell as well. It's free to visit, so if you don't want to buy anything that's ok. The people who work here are always super welcoming and kind. I highly recommend stopping by.

Co-owner…read moreKatie Ukrop maintains a great collection of jewelry, textiles, sculpture, home decor, paper goods and "tchotchkes" from the Richmond area and across the United States. This was one of the first stores in the area to carry reproduction Miriam Haskell jewelry. The owners also produce a few of their own items including pop-art-ish plates with silhouettes on them and tote bags featuring prints of old Richmond postcards. I've also seen funky cameras, felt handbags, earrings made from recycled tin and a selection of note cards and stationery that always makes it hard to leave without something. Most recently I'm in love with the little reusable cloth sandwich and snack bags featuring bold patterns; the glass water bottles and wine glasses that are made to resemble their plastic counterparts; and the wooden "Not Plastic Cutlery" that comes in packaged in a cloth napkin. The fun selection makes this a great place for buying gifts or just treating yourself. If you're there to shop, make sure you check out the front of the store and the room in back behind the main gallery display. There's lots of good stuff waiting for you.

She came back raving about how friendly the owners were and how badly she already wanted to return. On her next visit down, we took a ride out together and I can attest that her feelings about this spot were valid. They have two buildings. I preferred the stock in the house building. Lots of affordable home decor and jewelry, plus, yes, service was super kind! Big fan. I'd head back there for gifts in the future for sure.

The welcome I received was heartfelt by a couple of the owners sitting on the porch. Tina, one of the owners, informed me that this multi-vendor shop was opened by several ladies and they rent out space to other local vendors and artists. There is so much to see: some pretty stained glass, lots of vintage items, upcycled furniture, repurposed housewares, garden décor, cool and fun jewelry, vintage signs, handmade wood crafts, floral arrangements in retro jars and more than I can name here! I took home some funky jewelry, a welcome sign and a whimsical wooden owl for my Home. The prices were spot on and the folks were so sweet and attentive! I hope my GPS takes me this way again soon! Worth the stop!

New Discovery was a medicine for consumption (tuberculosis) a disease which at the time was killing millions of people. Many companies offered cures and remedies for consumption. However, all were frauds, including this, which was actually a concoction made from a morphine and chloroform mixture, calculated to strike terror to the doctors or to any other class or profession, except, perhaps, the undertakers. It is a pretty diabolical concoction to give to anyone, and particularly to a consumptive. The chloroform temporarily allays the cough, thereby checking Nature's effort to throw off the dead matter from the lungs. The opium drugs the patient into a deceived cheerfulness. Add a touch of alcohol (to further dull the sufferer's pain, and hey, it helped (until it didn't) The combination is admirably designed to shorten the life of any consumptive who takes it steadily. It was pretty cool and the owner/manager was a blast to chat with as well. Quite a few oddities "not for sale" and most likely not a store for everyone. Check it out if you dare. No charge for admission.
