What a darling garden space that is now (drum roll) a beer and wine garden too. Does it get any…read moremore small town beautiful than this? I think not. Been a few times to this inviting location. The garden itself is beautiful- full of plants both free range and potted. They have it all- big and small. They even sell seeds and gardening supplies. There are a ton of picnic tables outside for you to enjoy the atmosphere. Many nights (mostly weekends) there is live music. Free. Live music in a flower garden? Heck yeah. They have porta potties that are quite clean and a water station. Dogs are not allowed sadly. This is because some people did not respect the "no peeing on the plants for sale" rule. Understandable with how that could get dicey. Nobody wants a dog watered plant in their living room. I'll review the wine and beer bar in another location. For not I just want to note that it's a win- a huge selection for all and affordable prices. I got a tiny adorable wine for $5. Most beers are the same. Unheard of for this town. Woot woot. Classy affordable drinks with a view in a community space. Dreams do come true. Delightful people in a delightful place- goooo

Figured I should grab some more booze as well, ABC doesn't sell bitters, but luckily they were able to recommend the selection at common housefly. If you plan of stopping in quickly, that's not going to happen. Especially if you're a foodie/love to cook like me. This place has everything and then some. Several types of bitters in different flavors. An amazing local selection that was looking a little bare but I assume that's just from the tourist being back in town. Spoons in every shape, size, color you can imagine. Trinkets and gadgets galore! I picked up 2 different bitters, some fancy ice cube makers and some cocktail salt. From first glance it looks like the store is fairly small but every inch is utilized neatly. Keep walking back and you'll see that the store has another ears in the back. Filled with more goodies for the foodie in your life. I could get into some serious trouble in this store. Lucky for me the prices are not unreasonable either. Stop on in, give yourself plenty of time, and ask question if you need help. The staff is quite lovely too!

If you see something that crosses your eye that could be useful and not something you may see automatically back home, you may be inclined to make a purchase like I did. I bought a couple of pairs of painter-inspired socks that were economically priced. The store manager was courteous as we made our purchases. Did I need the socks? Probably not because I have so many at home, but you can always ditch old socks, and their selection was nice and colorful, so I went for it.

With that free delivery, you have to be patient because it takes a while for the sofa to make it to your regional delivery partner but the savings was worth the wait. It took us 13 weeks to receive our sofa. I'm guessing if I had bought it at a local showroom we would've had it in 10. The owner was always friendly and responsive. And I got exactly what I ordered. I had a few follow-up questions to confirm myself cushions and material and he did his research and got back to me, timely for all of them. Only collect 30% upfront the rest is due COD typically. Although I had a really good experience, I give four stars because of the long delivery time and because if I didn't know exactly what I wanted it would've been hard to shop this online store.
