They had everything from nutcrackers, smokers, Russian nesting dolls and the beautiful wall of clocks. Be sure to make this a stop on your visit, right across the street from the beer garden you see in all the photos online. I will post a photo of our clock just as soon as it arrives!

The store sells most typical gift shop flare: t shirts, stuff animals, mugs, postcards, books; things of that nature. Nothing in the store really struck my attention, but I did get a postcard and a Smokey the Bear magnet. Might as well, right? I love a gift shop, but this one doesn't really hold up in comparison to others. It's nice overall, but nothing too amazing that you'd feel bad about missing.

If you are looking for a fun shopping experience and love everything Thrift/Vintage/Antique than…read moreThe Nacoochee Village Antique Mall is the perfect place for you. This three-story building is loaded with a little bit of everything and has something for everyone. Nancy found a unique vintage choker-style necklace for about $30 and I found two piano books, one for $5 and the other for $8.95. In my opinion many of the items here are overpriced but there are deals to be had; just not for what I was shopping for. The sellers would not give me a better deal on the books even though I'm probably the only one in the great state of GA that wanted them. I was actually trying to purchase a third book Beethoven Sonatas Book II, but they wanted nearly $30 for it. I could care less that it was old (vintage), I just wanted the material for study. I can buy the Henle version of this book (best quality of music book made) for the same price this Black Friday, so that was a solid NO for that purchase. Staff were friendly and the store was kept orderly. Items were displayed in a logical manner and I did not have to do a lot of digging to find what I was looking for. There are multiple sellers in the store so you might find something such as sports related items in more than one place so be sure to walk all three floors if you have time. We were in a bit of a hurry so we only had about 30 minutes to shop on this visit. I could have easily looked around for another 30 minutes or more. If you are looking for a fun shopping experience while visiting Helen, GA I recommend stopping in and checking them out.

The cottage is located in a selection of specialized shops, it's a short drive outside of Helen (Georgia). The owner of the shop was the one to great us upon arrival and they gave us a tour of the interior and the small farm adjoining the shop. Before this shop I thought I hated lavender, I was dead wrong. The smell was herbal and floral- sweet not overwhelming. The selection of goods featured many items harvested fresh from the garden or hand dried. Even though it was a specialized ship the prices felt comfortable, with a lot of items available for under 20 dollars. The owners shear enthusiasm for their work made me happy and comfortable to be a patron.

This adorable little shop has everything lavender you can think of: neck pillows, essential oils, satchels, even sugar cookies and soda! Who could ask for more? The shop owner is so, so friendly and will answer any questions that you may have. My favorite thing to buy here is the Lavendin essential oil. It is the most potent and relaxing smelling (sorry about all the infinitive use lol) oil that I've purchased anywhere. The owner said the lavendin oil is stronger smelling than the lavender oil. In addition to the lavender goods, this cottage also sells clothes, the cutest baby things, and jewelry. And there are chickens in the garden area so don't forget to go say hi to them. Just remember to watch your fingers ;)
