It's a gift shop with locally made and sourced goods, from stickers to jewelry, to cups, clothing, etc. It's an antique store with two smallish rooms in back just stuffed full of antique bric-a-brac. It's a "grocery" store with coolers/freezers containing locally made foods, dairy, eggs, etc. they have a local bakery delivering bread on Fridays and a local dessert Baker bringing cakes etc. They even have an ice cream shop! There's a large wall with jams, jellies and pickles off every variety. At certain times, they have a mini produce market outside. (It pays to watch their social media account.) Of course, the people who work here are super nice and helpful. The prices are, on average, very reasonable. If the parking lot looks full, drive around to the back for more. I highly recommend Southern Charmers for many things. You need to check it out!

When we invest in a floral arrangement whether as a gift for another, to decorate for company or just to beautify and freshen the house, we want something extra special, designed with love. I don't know about you but a formal arrangement that actually brings tears to your eyes is the rarest of rare. So many florists deliver commonplace arrangements that leave you wondering why you spent all that money. Well let me tell you, that was not my experience at Village Florist. Most recently I wanted the perfect bouquet for my mother's birthday and Julie, at Village Florist spent time with me so she would completely understand what I wanted. She patiently listened, asked questions and made recommendations. She delivered the most exquisite arrangement I have ever seen. When the arrangement was delivered to my mother she cried in awe and declared the same sentiment... it was the most beautiful arrangement she had ever seen!!! Julie is an amazing artist with extraordinary attention to detail. She created a masterpiece!!! From the bottom of my heart... if you see this review Julie, I can't thank you enough for your touch of genius and all the heart you put into the arrangement and all your arrangements!!!
