I'm a local and I use to love this store and sent people there. I could always find something for a gift, if I needed something special. However, today, Dec. 27, 2024, I went in there special as they have been advertising 15% off EVERY FRIDAY IN DECEMBER. But when I asked about it, I was told, "No, we have our Christmas Sale on and we can't have 2 discounts." I told them I hadn't planned on buying any Chritsmas items, only a couple of jigsaw puzzles.

The owner donates to each and every event in the mountain area, consistently showing her support of local organizations. This shop is a wonderful asset to the small community of Oakhurst, and I highly recommend that any tourist passing through stop in and...
Read moreCute store! When you check out make sure you are being charged the correct prices. She charged us 2.99 for each bookmark when two of them were different prices. Prices were 2.99, 1.99 and 2.95. Such a small amount in price change but she could have told me before charging me. Found out later that day when I got back to our Airbnb. And you shouldn’t really be asking your customers to tell you their card pins. You should probably move your card reader closer to your cash register with a longer phone line or device cord. Besides that this place had lots of awesome items to buy. So many things that I wished I could buy but sadly was on a strict budget. Wish I could have afforded some of the antique books but sadly could not afford on this trip....
