For those who are not aware of what they offer, they have canvas paint classes you can sign up for (very similar to wine and design) private parties, or you can just come in and paint any one of the numerous pieces they offer. I'm sure I am missing something :) At the time I went, I was with my son. I am sure many can agree that doing anything with a young child can be difficult. This particular day, my child was being difficult so we ended up leaving without finishing our paintings. The ladies who work there were so helpful and nice with ensuring us that we will be able to come back and finish our paintings whenever we could. I think we ended up having to go back two separate times, so having that option is so nice! The overall process for painting a ceramic piece is pretty simple. The staff is very helpful with assisting you when it comes to deciding on colors to use, brainstorming text ideas to include, etc. The location is small, but there is plenty of room! I did get a little nervous when my son was walking around because the store is not child proof, but I think as long as you are an observant parent, there should not be any issues.

None of the tables were set up and we didn't even come in the morning. They didn't have much of a color choice or pottery selection. The brushes were really old, the bristles falling off and bent in every direction. You can't paint with frayed bristles. There were no large brushes, just really small ones. Everything there was really expensive too. $20 for a small piece. It wasn't even detailed. The chairs were ripped up and looked like a dog's 10 year old chew toy. They barely gave us any water to wash our brushes and no towel or sponge to get them dry.

Came here in April for strawberry picking and it was such an amazing experience!…read more I am not exaggerating these are probably the best strawberries I've ever had in my life! They were so sweet and firm and large! I had a lot of fun picking exactly what I wanted The premises were gorgeous. They had other items besides strawberries. They had a nursery and outside a bunch in plants and small trees. I ended up walking out with an olive tree. It is still alive though has not produced any olives yet. Will come back next year for more strawberry picking!

While we waited for the event to begin, we walked around the shop and loved seeing the beautiful variety of flowers with everything from potted plants and hanging baskets to herbs and vegetables you can take home and plant yourself. When we headed back outside, we noticed a huge strawberry field behind the store, plus an ice cream area serving fresh strawberry ice cream, which was such a sweet surprise. It made the whole experience even more special. Such a cute spot for families, especially during springtime!

The shop felt like spring and summer from the moment I walked in. I could mentally feel the sand between my toes. There are some cute Girlie Girl and Simply Southern t-shirts in bright colors or phrases celebrating the south. And, with a t-shirt purchase, comes a free pair of flip-flops. It's hard to go wrong with that. What a way to kick off the season. But that isn't all. The other half of the front room has garden items, both cute and unusual, from the tiny bird houses/bird feeders, to the owl decorations and the wall hangings celebrating our four legged friends. The back room has handbags, candles, soaps and shea butter lotions and fragrances. Many of them are made in North Carolina. For someone wanting to special-order a personal design, there's an embroidery machine and some solid color t-shirts on site. Rusted Shovel is a perfectly charming store to get ready for the changing seasons. It's an affirmation that not all good things are only found in the big towns and cities.

Prices are very reasonable and staff is extremely knowledgeable. Recently the entrance has been moved so if you're traveling east, you will need to turn down a side street to get into the parking lot. If you're coming from the west you can turn in right off of Old Honeycutt. The parking lot is sufficiently sized unless they are having an event or big sale then it can get really hard to find a spot. Inside the main building they have a lot of garden and non-garden items such as soaps and lotions and even an Ice Cream shop!! There is a decent sized greenhouse attached where you will find all of your houseplants along with houseplant pots. Look for the green and orange stickers for 75% and 50% off respectively! Outside they have a wide selection of trees, shrubs, giant pots, grasses, and other yard decorations. Compared to Big Bloomers in Sanford they are quite small with a limited selection. However, I believe that the plants they have available would appeal to a variety of customers. Definitely worth the stop!

If you want to save money (and who doesn't?) you can definitely do it here. Fans of Dollar General, Burlington, Big Lots and ithet value chains will like Rose's. Much of the merchandise IS either close-out or irregulars, so keep that in mind as you shop. I bought two comforter sets for $12.99 each. One is still in great shape while the second's color completely washed out after one wash and left it as faded as if I'd left it hanging on the clothesline for six months. HOWEVER! This wasn't a big deal since I just wanted something for my bed that the pets could crawl over and save my good bedspread for company. Anyway, moving right along. I got some great Cannon bath towels for only $4.99 each, several pairs of Wrangler men's jeans for $11.99 per pair, and they're still looking as good as the day I bought them four months later. This is a great little place to browse and look for deals. Who doesn't like to save $$?
