My family and I stopped into Take Heart last month during our first visit to Blowing Rock. My…read more6-year-old daughter had been looking for a heart-shaped locket after losing one from her grandparents. She finally found what she was looking for at Take Heart! 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!

The scents, the positive and uplifting music playing over the speakers, the friendly welcome from the staff, and all the beautiful items in the store, feel like home to me. The owner Sherri is the icing on the cake, her smile is pure comfort. She is always happy to help me pick out something special. Her Joy is contagious, and sincere. There are so many beautiful items in the store. Each time I go I find a little gift for a friend, a family member, and usually one for myself, and I leave with a smile on my face. Take Heart is a lovely little gem of a store. I cannot wait to return.

After enjoying lunch, we decided to walk around the down town area to see what they had to offer…read more Fun little town with lots of shops and cafes to poke in and out of. It was my first visit to Blowing Rock, so kind of what I hoped it would be. One of the fun shops was Final Touch which offered home decor from a lot of local crafters. Prices varied a good bit, based on the items, but they had paintings, and weavings, felt art and much more. The reason for the 4 stars though, for being a real arts and crafty area, I was disappointed to see the stained glass they sold was no doubt imported. The pricing on the stained glass items was far too low for a local to have made it. As artists ourselves, I wish they had kept with the local arts theme, low prices like that take business away from local artists, and give them no chance at competing. In my mind a small town touristy town like this should promote their own citizens and artists.

Every single customer who approached the clerk, whether buying an overpriced T-shirt or a tacky magnet, was greeted with the same intensely desperate and loaded phrase: "Can't wait until 6 PM." When I finally asked why, he just scanned my purchase, sighed, and explained that's when "the clock stops ticking on this shift." Since it was only 4:35 PM, his singular, desperate focus on the next 85 minutes transformed a mundane trip into a profound, albeit awkward, lesson in yearning. I hope 6 PM was worth it.

Unfortunately we didn't know when candle making classes were but the owners were able to do a special class for us since we had 6 girls hoping to make candles. They told them about the history of Banner Ell which I found interesting (the kids didn't remember all of it) and some of the names of the scents. All of the ingredients (soy based wax and scents) were all natural and didn't bother my allergies or nose so that was a huge bonus. All the girls had fun, my youngest was SO excited they had an elephant vessel she could use to make a candle! We would definitely recommend stopping by to visit when you're in the area. Everyone was super nice and all the girls from ages 7-17 had fun! (Adults could also join in if they wanted of course, but we sat back and let the girls do it this time, FYI the prices seemed to range from $38-45 per person for the candles they made which included the class.) You do have to wait 2-3 hours for them to cool and set before you can take them home. I think the regular classes are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 11am so you can sign up (call or sign up online I believe), come make your candles and then go grab a leisurely lunch or go shopping and come back to pick them up. We can't wait to burn our candles!
