I've always enjoyed stopping in Our Favorite Place. It's a unique and quaint store and I always…read morefind something I have to have. However, yesterday cemented my forever patronage. My little girls and I were out shopping downtown Eufaula for our fall break. My children are 8 and 4 and are generally well behaved in stores. They always ask if we can go into town and shop when we come to the lake but usually we are on the water. Yesterday we made a whole day of shopping downtown. My children were treated very poorly from a boutique next door and basically chased around the shop while they were just looking, not even touching or disrupting the store, so much that we felt very unwelcome. When we entered Our Favorite Place, both ladies working stopped what they were doing and greeted us warmly. One of the ladies went in the back and brought out her dog so my girls could pet it. The lady working the register came and showed them the ice cream flavors and soda flavors they offered. She also brought them one of the handmade soaps to smell while they were admiring the soaps. She treated us with kindness and didn't look at my children as though they were annoying or burdens. As we shopped, she talked with us and even let my girls sit on the comfy couches in the back to enjoy the sodas we purchased. As we left with all the things we bought, she complimented what good girls I had and was so genuinely kind. She had no idea that we had been treated poorly at the boutique next door but she made my heart feel so much better. It's amazing what a little bit of kindness can do. This shop is wonderful, if you are looking for unique local Oklahoma goods, definitely stop in. If you want to experience Oklahoma kindness and hospitality, DEFINITELY stop in.

It's worth a trip to town to visit this little shop. #shopsmall. I loved their carefully curated selection of all MIO (made in Oklahoma) products. They bring together MIO: artwork, jewelry, handmade baskets, jams, pickled veggies, chocolates, cards, bath products, locally made wine, craft canned beer, coffee, and much more! The products here make terrific gifts for everyone-- including the Sooners, Cowboys and Lake Eufaula lovers in your life. Their artwork offerings range from a few dollars for prints up to hundreds (or even thousands of dollars) for some of the larger fine art pieces. One of my favorite pieces was a framed wooden art carving detailing Lake Eufaula. It was the outline of the lake in such detail and the lake water wood was painted a beautiful blue color. They had two sizes of this piece, a small and a large. The larger one was around $500, I think, and the smaller selling for around $200 or so. I enjoyed seeing all of the wonderful Oklahoma made offerings together under one roof. I appreciated the greeting from the kind woman helping everyone, when each guest entered she would greet them by saying, "Welcome to Our Favorite Place!" It was the genuineness of her greeting that made a lasting impression on me. She greeted us and each person after us in the same manner. I also appreciated the thoughtfulness to include items in every price range in this store-truly something for everyone! And don't forget to sign their guestbook!

It was a VERY chilly but sunny day so the mulled wine sounded great to me. I only sampled the blueberry, and this one and decided it was perfect. I'm at home now and kind of regretting not getting a bottle. We ordered our glasses and had a seat in the next room that had all the seating. We were nearly done with our drinks when our food came out, and we nearly ordered more but we were trying to pack as much as we could into a Saturday and a ton of these places close super early so it was time to move along. The charcuterie board had some excellent selections and was more than enough for 4 of us, but I will say maybe preserves or mustard or honey might be nice. Some kinda sauce... The staff was so sweet and hospitable. I've been to Hochatown countless times and hadn't stopped in here before and would be happy to go back.

Disclaimer: I see a lot of reviews raving about the snacks and food, and we didn't try either! So,…read morekeep that in mind. The atmosphere was strange... when we think winery, we're picturing a valley of grapes or a hillside retreat. However, the deck of this tasting location was in front of the literal highway. Maybe we had unrealistic expectations being out-of-towners, but we were disappointed. The wine is very lacking. We learned from a couple locals after this experience that majority of the local "wineries" use a grape concentrate, likely from California, to create their own wines. I definitely think this shows in quality and overall taste, but the prices are very reasonable. I wouldn't come back, and it wouldn't be on our next "to stop" list, but reading other reviews, it seems like a loved establishment. If you're looking for fresh snacks or light meals, it might be a good place to stop by.

I've been to a lot of art shows in large cities, and having studied design myself, have seen a lot of art over the years.

But the works were so elegant and the prices (for original works) so fair that I couldn't help but bring several pieces home with me...and came back several days later for more. Thank you to all the artists who make this Gallery such an amazing place, and to Pati Trippel for the paintings that now make me smile every time I enter my living room!
