She immediately went to the counter so we could purchase it. The women there were so kind with her, asking about her purchase and her name. They were so touched by her story that they decided to gift it to her for Christmas! We were shocked! We were in the store for a brief amount of time, but that visit will leave a long-lasting impression on her and us. Thank you to "the purple shop" for creating such a wonderful Christmas memory for our family!

Take Heart is a lovely little gem of a store. I cannot wait to return.

Unfortunately, a few other stores we had stopped into had already packed that inventory up for the season, and then we came across the Souvenir shop in Banner Elk, and lucked out.

The clerk working the counter was very friendly, and their pricing was extremely fair, especially for the quality of the hats we got.

She asked a clerk and was told that the sweater on display was the only one available. As the clerk did not offer further assistance, I reached up to undrape the sweater from a t-shirt so that my friend could try it on. When I did so, the clerk came running across the store screeching, "Don't mess up my display!" I'm sorry, but I thought the purpose of a store that sells clothing was to entice customers to come in, try on the merchandise, and then buy it. If that's the case, someone should educate the clerk with the abrasive customer service skills. I will NEVER return to this store!

You will need to take a flight of stairs down to get to the actual store. There are several shelves arranged in the store with handmade pottery pieces from various artists in and around the area.

There are a variety of pottery pieces from mugs, bowls, pitchers, and plates. They also have some other smaller pieces, including some jewelry and pins. Tucked in the back looks like a pottery studio, so check in with the store about whether or not they offer pottery classes. Highly recommend stopping by to check out the awesome pieces of handmade pottery!
