I stopped in twice over a two hour period and every time I blinked, a new cute and must have item appeared before my eyes. If you are looking to send a nice note, update your journal, or find a gift for a friend this is surely the place to go.

Bottom Line: Great toy brands and tons of variety…read more My husband and I went into Shenanigans because it has such high ratings, was located a 1/2 mile walk from out hotel and its holiday shopping season. I was impressed with the size of this toy store and excited to see that they carry many of my favorite toy brands like Folkmantis, Calico Critters and Ravensberger puzzles. They had a lot of fun sounding games I hadn't heard of as well. Aside from high quality toys and puzzles Shenanigans also had some really nice seasonal stuff like Advent calendars. My husband and I explored for quite awhile and finally landed on a Jellycat branded stuffed animal for a friend. For such a lovely store I would have expected there to be a little bit more in the way of service. For the fifteen minutes we spent in there the only acknowledgement we received was three words when we checked out - twenty-three seventeen. Maybe the employee was just having a hard day.

Fly by this ultra cool shop! The Sparrow's Nest is an eclectic store carrying beautifully designed…read morejewelry, hand bags, home décor and gifts. They stock an impressive array of candles, and the nice guy behind the counter told us that was how the owner started the business! The candles were so successful, they expanded to more unique and interesting items! I love the burlap cutlery bags, and purchased 3 sets! I also picked up a pair of super boho silver and leather earrings that I've gotten tons of compliments on since I've worn them endlessly! I also love the assortment of teas and picked up a couple pouches for my tea time! My friends and I enjoyed the humorous tea towels, cute signs, and and inspiring artwork! We were impressed with the aesthetically designed displays and loved spending time roosting in this nest! If you are in the Staunton area, take a gander! The prices aren't "cheep", but the quality is totally worth it!

I was visiting from Richmond. Store owner was friendly and super passionate about wool. There were…read moresome interesting pieces, but it was a bit too quirky for my tastes. The actual fashion felt a bit too much from another era, but maybe wool and modern fashion do not mix. A really nice and interesting local store, I would come here again. I'm just not sure if I would buy and wear something here, but I would buy something for a friend. ;)

It's open on Sundays too, always a plus.  Their website tells me that the Crozet Artisan Depot offers handmade items from over 70 artisans in the region. Wow, that's terrific. Though I browsed through plenty of awesome things, I ended up getting some goat milk soap from Wynott Farm and some funky chocolates from Cocoa & Spice. There's also a tourist area in the back with brochures and a staffer ready to assist in case you need some recommendations for attractions and activities. A restroom is available nearby too.  The Depot is, fittingly enough, located in an old historic train depot. It has a small parking lot attached to it, though I observed some people parking in there and walking across the street which didn't seem too kosher.

But, the scheduler was rude and told us that just like hair or nail appointments (which don't require deposits) they can't refund or reschedule the session. We have been shopping at sun spots for years and this has left a bad taste. Will not shop there. Buyer beware!! Also, most of the glass is overpriced compared to other local glass blowers. We only supported because it was a local business, but, this is what happens when you support local businesses.
