AN ABSOLUTE MUST STOP-INSIDE-TO-SEE handsssss down for anyone looking for a unique gift or wanting to find something special for yourself or your home. It's like a gift shop emporium and vintage shop all rolled into one!
I've posted a zillion pics and vids of the treasures inside so you can see what I mean. Incredibly eclectic and beautiful selection of gift and home items.
In all my years of posting reviews on Yelp, I've only posted ONE, count 'em ONE, review that's not a restaurant! This will be #2 because the word HAS to get out about this gem of a shop. (Do read my other reviews for great places to eat in the area...and which ones to skip and not bother visiting lol.)
I've walked past this place soooo many times on my way to the SalonLofts next door - but have never ventured in - not really sure why....maybe because I ASSumed it would be one of those cheesy wanna-be vintage gift shops not worth the time of day.
BOY WAS I WRONG!
Beautifully laid out, the shop is HIUUUGE - it goes on and on and on and....
YOU WOULD NEVER TELL FROM JUST LOOKING AT THE SHOPFRONT!
This place is probably overlooked by shoppers and strollers-by only because of its awkward location at the very end of the shopping center tucked around a corner adjacent to the roundabout entrance to The Village at Leesburg shopping center.
But park ANYWHERE in the shopping center and walk - NOTHING IS THAT FAR A WALK AWAY. (Grab a latte and pastry at Weird Bros Coffee on your way to Lazy Daisy!)
WELL RUN and WELL CARED FOR - the inside and alll the displays are immaculate, beautifully curated and decorated. Each display is a separately cared for and stocked "kiosk" by individual vendors BUT they all look cohesively put together. Plenty of walking around area - the aisles are spacious and wide so you're not bumping into people.
I WAS IN THE SHOP FOR ALMOST 2 HOURS (!!) SCOURING EACH NOOK AND CRANNY - end to end to end to end - SERIOUSLY. So much to see.
Pro Tip: If you're able to, come during the week while everyone else is working (come when it opens in the morning!) so you virtually have the whole place to yourself to browse and take it all in. It is quite literally like 50 little shops in one place.
I wasn't looking for anything to buy - just wanted to finally see what this shop was all about and I couldn't help myself - I left with some vintage crystal, an antique display timepiece as a gift and some beautiful vintage jewelry pieces.
And PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE.
I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK whenever I need to find a unique gift or precious one-of-a-kind pieces (not mass produced Hobby Lobby cheap fakes lol) for my house.
The staff is wonderful - kind, friendly, helpful, patient, THEY DON'T HOVER AND THERE'S NO PRESSURE TO BUY. Take your time and browse to your heart's content.
HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more
