The artist, one of them at least, was here when we visited. He was a nice guy and made me feel even better about buying stuff I already wanted. The stand out things though are the buttons. If you go, you'll definitely see the buttons. I've purchased some every time I've been to Thomas, for me and for others. Some are simply cute, but others are quite clever or something a literary person would adore. Think plays on famous book titles ("Still Life with Life"), misattributed philosophical quotes ("The unexamined life is not worth living" - Plato), and general statement buttons (I *heart* polar bears). Definitely recommend going here, especially if you're in town for a show at The Purple Fiddle.

Especially noticeable are the lamps made from driftwood and antler. The pieces are very modern, beautifully finished and would be at home in the woods or in a city loft. There is everything from soap to earrings to the ever present wildlife photographs of the well loved area. Cannot get the lamps of my mind. Hmmm. Only 3 hours from Pittsburgh... maybe out of my mind and into my living room.

This great art co-op is located in downtown Davis. My GPS was about 2 blocks off of where the shop…read morewas actually located. If that happens to you, don't worry go a little bit further and it is located on a corner. There were many different mediums available: pottery, stain glass, photos, paintings, Leatherworks, jewelry and soaps to name a few. There is something for everyone. Plan to spend some time here as nothing moves quickly (as long as you plan for that you will be fine). I strongly recommend this store for anyone else looking for a unique gift.

Ah, the illustrious Purple Fiddle, the crown jewel of Thomas WV. Been here many times over the…read moreyears. This place perfectly personifies the spirit of Thomas, WV, and maybe even a little bit of Davis mixed in there too. The building is historic with tons of character, located right at the end of the loop as if you can't exit town without paying homage. The inside has soooo much character and is decorated perfectly in a mad hatter style. We often stop here for ice cream during our wanderings of Wild Wonderful West Virginia but have been known to get food from time to time as well. I would say that everything is honestly priced. They aren't trying to get rich and they aren't trying to rip off the community, just serve it and make a living and keep the doors open. The food is on the cheaper side and the quality matches. I don't think they're after any Michelin stars but more interested in just feeding the people. Service is on par with the attitude of the building and blended well. Just enough at just the right time. You might have to swap a few chairs from one table to the next to find the right combination for your party as I think all of the chairs in there are different. They also serve the community by hosting music, up to 300 events per year according to their website. That's one of the only times I skipped the fiddle when I was passing through was when they had a band with a cover and we just wanted food. We wanted to sit down and eat but were told we had to pay if we stayed but could take the food to go or outside without the entrance fee. I think we just went over to Picnic instead which is also a great local spot! See you next summer fiddle!

My wife and I were on a mtb trip in the east coast, and when I asked the guy working there about some local trails he was a total a$$ hole and told me all the trails I was asking about were not real and couldn't give me any recommendations. It stuck with me, he wasn't pleasant, he didn't care to guide me to a dope trail, he just wanted to act like he was the local badass gatekeeper of the terrible trails they have in the area. Thank goodness I'm back in Colorado and would never ever go back to this shop with the attitude and lack of customer service this douche gave my wife and I.
