Of course, there's more than knives here, and they'll all nicely displayed and waiting for you to pick it up or ask about it.

Sweet Little Store Full of Knick-Knacks & Paddy-Whacks!…read more SITREP This store reminds me of Nanas. Grandmas. Aunts. Little old lady neighbors.

It was a easier here than at some places because I'm not fond of the country look and prefer more industrial decor I did see some interesting paint, but I was unsure of how much I would need to paint a room, and Jacksonville would be a bit of a ride to go back and get more.
