I did not plan to come here. Actually sat in the parking lot looking for someplace to eat. I saw all these little old ladies coming in and out so I knew it was good. Cakes and cakes and more cakes! They have ever kind you can think of. Seriously, chocolate to pumpkin pies, lemon, strawberry, almond joy, butter pecan...every flavor and it's all homemade. So happy to meet the staff and hear about the start of a great family business. Oh and do not sleep on the goodies in the attached stores. So many cute Christmas items and gifts. I got some beautiful ornaments and several personal Christmas gifts. What a blessing on a day of wonder.

She always puts a smile on our face and our son has become their certified cake caller. We love the Market! And if you haven't been lately their store addition is amazing.

Pen and Pillar is one of my favorite small businesses that has opened in High Point. Located at the…read morecorner of N Main and Lexington, it's the perfect spot for them! They are a woman owned and founded business that features handmade stationary, cards, recipe books, notepads, small givers, jewelry, candles and more. It's the perfect spot to pick up a gift for a coworker, a loved one or a friend. The cost reflects the handmade quality, but everything is worth the price. I love the variety of gifts and it's the perfect place to peruse on a Saturday afternoon. A little note, all artwork is hand illustrated by the owner, Taylor, and "10% of our proceeds are donated to local refugee resettlement, and all our products are produced in the USA on paper that's kind to the earth." The quote is from their website, https://penandpillarshop.com. I love this place and will continue to support them. We need more business like them, that truly care about their effect on the environment and in society.

Fill your homely heart with accessories for the desk and gifts for any friend. There is a giant wall of stickers spanning a range of subjects, but generally seeming to lean towards feminism and other more liberal themes. The selection of journals was what caught my eye the most of all. Don't forget the assortment of books, gift cards, and postcards. For the one-half greenhouse, it's another half paperie/stationery shop. For me, the prices were on the high side. That wouldn't stop me, of course, from snagging a journal and a pen in the future, though. It just so happens that, as an avid journaler, I already have a stack of blank journals patiently waiting their turn. The owners were friendly and even had a little dog roaming around happily going about its day. The plants were an inspiration, and now I want to propagate my own pothos into tiny little self-painted and designed pots rescued from the thrift store!
