I need to do research to see which of them will grow at the bottom of the mountain where I live, but settled for some vegetable starts this time. Oh, and the staff is so knowledgeable!! THEN!!! We went to the farm and wow, what an incredible place. Would love to stay and/or camp, so I need to plan that for summer or fall. Got to talk with the lambs and chickens, took some beautiful pictures, and relaxed. Many thanks to Stacey for the tour!

Tucked away in a quaint old coach house, Colonial Florist is an adorable, local flower shop. The…read morestore itself is overflowing with flowers, flower paraphernalia (pots, vases, ribbons), and cheery, helpful salespeople. Colonial has always helped out when we've needed flowers for family events - even on very short notice (That's right - if you live in the Waynesville area and have received flowers from me, they may have been last-minute. My secret is safe with Colonial!). As a bonus, Colonial is home to a couple friendly animals. Papa B. met a cat on one of his visits, and later that weekend, I was greeted by a German Shepard puppy. Flowers and puppies? It doesn't get much better than that!

The gentleman (Mr. Jack) who took my…read morevery specific order for red tulips and I had what I thought was a long conversation on exactly what I would happily pay $120 including delivery fee for a bouquet of red tulips. Apparently, I was wrong because what was delivered was a bouquet of lilies with tulips. I call and spoke to Mr. Jack and his response to my dissatisfaction was... "I did you a favor by adding the lilies plus I didn't charge you for the lilies" I did not ask him to add any other flower to MY ORDER and I was quite thrilled in his assurance that my requested bouquet could be filled. Sadly, he ruined my birthday gift to my dear friend. I will never give my business to Colonial Floral & gifts ever again nor will I recommend them to anyone. Mr. Jack did offer to go pick up the arrangement that was delivered to my friend informing me that -he would be "happy to go pick up the bouquet" So, that's how CF&G do business. Such a shame!

But nothing is more fun than watching little kids try so hard to find one, especially in a place with all the COVID precautions needed to keep everyone safe. We had a fantastic time at Crystal Mountain. The "mine" is well set up with all sorts of crystals and stones on display and available for purchase. On the right side of the shop is a sluice that runs roughly 30 feet. If you head into the back of the mine, you will see fossils and other unusual finds. After walking around a bit, we decided to go with the green bucket to split between our two girls and used an online coupon to save a few bucks on it. The green bucket comes with all those little extras, including a geode, that kids find so important. The very kind and well informed owner/manager of Crystal Mine carried our bucket to the sluice and showed our girls how to find those special stones. He gave us several bags to hold their treasures and then left us to 'mine' for gems. Our girls cried out over every little find. They especially loved anything quartz. The owner came to check on us and showed the girls how to tell what kinds of gems they were finding. We filled up four bags with various kinds of stones including a huge geode. Once the bucket was empty, our girls looked over the store and the owner helped them make their own necklaces. We appreciated how mindful he was of expense. Each one cost just $6 when all was said and done and yet he made our girls feel as if they were wearing Cartier. The best moment came when he cracked their geode. In an unexpected bit of good luck in rotten 2020, the big geode turned out to be two geodes. Each one cracked to reveal a cavern of crystals and our girls were simply thrilled. The owner wrapped each one in paper so they could take their geodes home. Our kids had such a good time in this gem mine. It filled them with wonder, something I want for them every day. Much of the credit goes to the owner/manager. He made every moment into an experience... even if we didn't find that 10 carat sapphire.
