We were expecting a run-of-the-mill gem mining operation, but we got so much more! Du Bois was such…read morea great guy, and he made the kids feel welcome, special, and super excited about gems. We ended up spending around 90 minutes here, most of it was mining for gems then learning about what we found from Du Bois. His energy and love of rocks was something you don't see every day. We can't wait to come back. Also, ironically, we first stopped at Sugar Creek gem mine in Banner Elk, but everyone was packed in a small room and their payment system went down when we arrived. So we went down the road to the Greater Foscoe mine and had one of our best experiences in the mountains. Highly recommend it.

The staff was incredible we love Dabois, Mike, Logan, and the gemcutter Zack were all fantastic. Zack cut a tourmaline and set it in gold to replace the pendant I had lost. It was so beautiful. He also made a set of citrine consisting of oval cut stones for earrings, ring and pendant. Gorgeous. My husband got a ring with 3 stones. My daughter got a ring of rose quartz, a Mexican opal pendant and our granddaughter got an emerald ring. And they were done in 24 hours!!

She called and said it was the most beautiful arrangement with vibrant colors beyond her description. The flowers were high quality and you could tell they were not run of the mill. The cost was higher than I normally budget, but when I saw them, I knew it was worth it. I highly recommend Log House Florist!

That's even more than my local women's club raised (through donations and fundraising only) for the same period. The store is neatly organized, and the prices are great. The day I stopped in, they were having a half-off sale on their women's clothing, and I was able to find several things that I liked. They also have a variety of housewares, cookware, linens, shoes, and decor. They even have a roomy fitting room to try on clothes. Note that they don't have any men's clothing. All of their items are donated, and many were higher-end brands. I found several Loft and Talbots tops and dresses that I had to purchase. Village Thrift is also fully run by volunteers who are friendly and happy to be there. I'll definitely return the next time I'm in town!
