Highlights for me included the toy gun section, the selection of Yo-yo's, Lava Lamps, and the variety of musical instrument toys - Recorders, tin whistles, flutes, glockenspiels, mini accordions, mini battery powered keyboards, maracas, harmonica's, ukuleles, and more. It is a small store and it can feel a little claustrophobic in here if its busy but it's still worth the visit if you are in town. The store is on the main strip where all the action is in Helen; however, it's a bit further away from the chaos so there are lulls in people traffic coming into the store. The store is organized well but it is packed so, plenty to see around every corner. The staff were friendly and efficient. I would recommend stopping in if you're in Helen for a few days, it's a great way to relive your childhood for a while.

And a friendly and helpful staff to boot. Watch your step on entry and exit, it can be tricky with a step up or down, depending on which direction you are going.

We make Clayton a day trip destination from our home in Greenville, and when it comes to shopping, this gallery is our first stop.

But needed to see to do something different. Popped in the downtown segment of Clayton, I walked the sweet lil shops and stumbled upon this. Mostly it's for hikers, they have a lot of supporting equipment, not as extensive as REI but some. Also their claim to fame are the tee shirts. Which I happily bought and a cap. Staff was incredibly pleasant and friendly. The icing on top of the cake is the library downstairs. If you love to read, they have a series of interesting choices along with some regional history books. Go check this place out.
