Whittingham offers a broad selection of items for home décor, from the elegant to the whimsical. The Kitchen at Whittingham offers 3,500 square foot of everything you need for your kitchen. The latter offers cooking classes several times a month, most of them in the $65-95 range where anyone can learn about Asia, Italian, French, dessert or any other culinary skill. A great place to stop for a gift to give someone or for a nice "something" for your own home or kitchen. Lovely and cute.

I honestly love any book store, but I LOVE this one in particular! The owners are amazing humans,…read morethere is a beautiful array of hundreds of books, and the clubs sound like they will be amazing! I've already got my ticket to the craft club and i can't wait to bedazzle a book! The a/c works, they sell food and drink and they have rooms upstairs that are free to use. It's spacious, but cozy at the same time and I just want to spend hours there, but that'd probly end up being awkward. The support for dog adoption is just the cherry on top of my bookish sundae. I'm a very critical book girl and I have nothing other than praise for the shop and the owners!

I found some pieces that I wanted and asked them to hold them for me which they gladly did, and now I'm paying them off gradually. The shop is a bit more expensive than other stores downtown, however for the value of the gems and minerals they are priced very fairly. On top of that the owners source the items they sell themselves. I genuinely enjoy going in and shopping. They are an amazing small business, and if you like gems and minerals, please go!!

This shop was on my to go list in downtown Fredricksburg. It was easy to find and was a very…read morewelcoming and clean place with friendly & professional staff. The lady who rang up my purchase provided a large bag to carry my bags & items from other places when I asked if I could buy a bag from her to hold them . I love how well displayed the items were and the various dragon items throughout the store. The clearance items were priced very well. I got large cards and a rabbit Chinese zodiac candle for only $1 each. I saw a labradorite beaded bracelet there for $10 and bought it immediately after noticing its iridescent quality. No photography is allowed inside, so I only have outdoor photos of the store.

She took the time to point out various home décor items that were within my budget range. Informal atmosphere, plenty of windows and lighting - very relaxing to stroll around The Loft. I purchased two items: a very unique piece of pottery made by an artist from New Hampshire and a pair of earrings. What a deal! Bottom Line? Walk UP the stairs at 107-B East Davis Street the next time you visit Culpeper, VA. You won't be disappointed. PS: This is a "dog friendly" art gallery and gift store. Too bad I did not bring along Hercules, my mixed breed wonder dog. But that's another story for another time...

Antique store nestled on a side street off Main Street in Bowling Green was a very pleasant…read moresurprise! It was appointed beautifully with cozy, vintage vignettes and tons of antiques from quilts to furniture and everything in between. Some lovely Amish pieces and primitive art and decor. The pricing was on point t too, but the real treat was the friendly owner and his wife. He was welcoming and warm. His wife does most of the "merchandising" and has an eye for displaying the antiques in a clever and appealing way! I will always stop in whenever I'm driving through Bowling Green! If you're into deals, thrifting, and shopping - You should too!!
