We encountered this business as we were participating in the Richmond Chocolate Trail. This…read morebusiness is one of the stops, with a free Ghyslain chocolate. They sell many different things inside this shop, including pottery, jewelry, cards, candles, lotions, loose tea, etc. Everything appears to be hand-made artisan items. There are a variety of items to choose from if you're interested in a gift.

My sister and I stopped into The Village Forager as part of the chocolate walk…read more What a great find! The store is stocked with both local and boutique brands. I liked the local items were labeled. The store has a great selection of jewelry, pottery, tea, beauty (lotions and scents), loose tea, Ghyslain chocolate, candles and etc. There's also a coffee shop that seemed quite popular but it's to-go only since there isn't seating. There were so many wonderful things here and we both spent a lot of time browsing the store. The prices are similar to similar places-no better, no worse. This would be a great place to find a unique gift or a little treat for yourself.

SO many candles!!! If you like candles, this place is like heaven! There are rows upon rows of…read morecandles in every scent and size you can imagine. They also have a section full of local Indiana beer and wine which is pretty cool. The bathrooms are also super clean! Definitely will a stop!

10/10 - Making plans to stop to pee here again…read more For anyone just looking for a rest step off the highway: the bathrooms are in the main building (with the candle) and towards the back middle. They're clean with tons of stalls and a cool rustic vibe. They do a great job knowing why someone might stop here. It's quick in, but (admittedly) a slower "out" as I usually end up shopping and finding neat stuff. You're probably going to walk away with something you want here too. It's a seasonal megastore every time we come here. During Christmas months, tons of Christmas. During fall, lots of autumn. During Spring, Easter, etc. You get it. It's not just the crap you see at big box stores; it's the special-ordered decoration places, feeling more like a huge Hallmark (if you remember those from the malls!) than just a bunch of stuff you've seen 30 times before. If you're not a decorator, they also have a decent selection of small business food (soup starters, seasoning packets for meats, etc.) and local craft beers (you can buy single cans!) to choose from. They ALSO, as the giant candle would imply, have tons of candles. Oddly enough, we rarely buy candles here - though they have a huge selection. We're usually much-more-distracted by everything else. There's also a fresh/homemade candy/fudge counter, and I *think* there's a coffee/cafe in the next-door building as well. They also sell outdoor decor? Some pretty neat stuff too. It's a really cool stop, and if you need to stop, it's well-worth stopping here over any of the nearby gas stations.

This is my first visit to this brand new gift shop and I'm really impressed. These ladies have had…read morea few gifts in their cafe for a while but now they have expanded to a location in the building behind their wonderful yummy cafe, Grace Place. Don't expect it to be large, it is only one in room, but they expect to have local artwork on the walls soon and might possibly consider expansion at some time in the future. For a little shop though it has some charming items and yes, it was hard for me to get out of the shop without buying something for myself. (I succumbed!) One of my favorite things about this shop is they are selling items made by local artisans. I love not only shopping local but supporting local people. Quilted items, maple syrup, jewelry etc. There is one issue, however, and that is parking. It is very limited but if you find the parking lot full then take advantage of on-street parking. Just don't park in spaces intended for nearby businesses. Not cool.

First thing to get out of the way - the atmosphere. Yes, There is mild potty humor related to the…read moremispronunciation of the planet Uranus. It's all a very third grade level. If you can get past that, you will enjoy the excellent ice cream and family-friendly facility. A lot of the gift store items are potty humor related but if you have the slightest sense of humor you'll be able to enjoy yourself. There are lots of fun attractions like putting your hand in the aliens mouth, Putt-Putt golf, and other fun stuff. They have a newsletter and many different types of fudge. The potty humor for the fudge amps up to 5th or 6th grade humor. If you survived Elementary School, you should be able to handle this. Visit their website to see the level of humor expected. Again, the ice cream was excellent and served by a staff of teens. The facility was clean and I like the use of graffitied vintage chairs and furniture in the ice cream eatery. Keep an open mind when you visit and remember that off color jokes don't injure or change the taste of really good ice cream!

Marketing: A+ Facility: A…read moreMajority of Staff: A Fudge Selection: D Fudge Counter Service: D With all the hype and impressive marketing, I expected fudge so extraordinary it had been launched past Uranus. Unfortunately, the fudge counter barely made it off the launchpad. When I approached, I encountered a very self-important "fudge technician" who apparently didn't give a fudge. He offered no assistance, announced that he needed to go somewhere else in the building "to work on something," and, while walking away, asked someone else to help me. After all that buildup, I was surprised to find only about eight varieties of fudge. At $20 per pound, you'd better hope one of those limited choices sends you over the moon--because the counter service certainly won't.

She could not have been more kind and warm; I'm so sad I didn't get her and the owners' names (but her daughter also owns the jewelry store across the street!!). Olive & Slate is a must-shop. Instantly the scent of one of their candles hits your senses and you're drawn in. They sell these awesome robot pieces made of metal and tin and are painted and out together by locals. They also sell flour towels with amazing quips on them (see pics below - they're only $7!!), and Mud Pie products that you canNOT love without. You gotta go visit. BRING YOUR MONEY! Buyer's remorse is NOT a factor here!

There are numerous items (like coffee mugs) styled with clever sayings. There are candles and pots, note pads, and ceramics. Near the entrance is a 3' long "Woodie" station wagon car filled with products. I've never seen anything like it! The mix is eclectic, but somehow the owner has a good sense of style and taste to make it look like it goes together. She was glad to assist if I had anything in particular that I was looking for too! Just another cool shop to stop by when downtown in Muncie! Review #2620
