What remains is a rather musty collection of smalls, knickknacks & memorabilia but nothing outstanding. Some nice small/ mid sized motor signs, large collections of both records as well as linens.

The home is well marked from the road-you pull in and wind your way up the gravel drive to the back of the house for a couple of parking spots. Be sure not to miss the commanding view of the beautiful valley below - it was best part of the visit.

Their selection of scented candles is like nothing I have ever seen. You won't find any run of the mill Yankees here. These are all fine, hand crafted and filled with wonderful scents like Vanilla Pound Cake from the Swan Creek Candle Co. You can find a wide range of gifts like flags, WVU gifts and collectibles, wreaths, hand-made purses and much more. This is the place to go for perfect, last minute gifts for your best friend, mother-in-law or a complete stranger.

The beautiful store is full of unique finds, ranging from crocks and antiques, to primitives, Highly scented candles, handmade wreaths, and WVU items. She also has wonderful jewelry, scarves, and gifts for the lady in your life. The merchandise is seasonal, so things are changing through the year, and the store takes on a different look. If you haven't been to Craft Connection yet, you need to pay Dana a visit. Whether you are looking for something to make your front door welcoming, or a stunning piece of bling for your Saturday evening date, you will find exactly what you were looking for..... and then some.!!

The community really leans into myths and spooky legends, and you'll find restaurants, shops, food and drinks named after these cultural conspiracy theory characters all over the place. The Thrifty Mountaineer is the place to visit in Morgantown if you're into cryptids, because there are so many cryptid items for sale! Plushies, t-shirts, books, keychains, patches and so much more available. Mothman is THE cryptid of the state, and there are lots of Mothman things here. We picked up some Mothman potato chips, because we were curious what Mothman chips would taste like. (Turns out, Mothman tastes a lot like barbecue Lay's.) The store is also an overstock and liquidation store, a notary public and a place to get financial coaching. I can't even make this up. This store is so cool and random, and there are surprises around every corner. The people who work here are hella chill. But you'd have to be if you own and operate a friggin' store dedicated to cryptids, right? If you sell soap that smells like the Flatwoods Monster, you can't take yourself too seriously. These guys like to have fun.

Such a fun place to stop while in the Morgantown area! They have a decent sized parking lot and…read moresome fun signage outside. The inside consists of two rooms full of cryptid merchandise, general thrifty items, clothing, and your typical touristy gifts. They have a thrift "bin" which is essentially a table full of random stuff for $2. We found an unopened 6-pack of Hanes boxers and some replacement inner tubes that would fit a dirt bike. They have very fairly priced shirts for men, women, and children. I left with a $3 Bacardi tshirt and a $.50 corkscrew in a velvet drawstring bag. The staff couldn't be more friendly or helpful. They were so pleasant. There are two comfy chairs in the middle of the main room where you can relax while the rest of your party shops around. I'll definitely be back to share this experience with others.

I ordered just a small hot oatmilk latte with chocolate and strawberry charmingly named the "mothman". Fellow WV folk will understand that reference!
