Great shop for finding locally made craft items and gift ideas. The owners often have a booth at local festivals too.

Easy 5 stars for this wonderful local five and dime type of store that's been under the same…read moreownership for decades. It's small downtown establishment that packs a punch. Amazing service from the woman who assisted me on gift ideas. They offer so much and have unique VT, UVA & JMU items too! Even children's collegiate branded items. They are beginning to roll out Christmas merchandise now. I totally get why this quaint store has a full five stars on Yelp.

This little gift store is located in the heart of Roanoke's Historic Market Square. I always enjoy…read morelooking at their window displays, which contain many quality items tastefully displayed. Besides being a place where one can find a good variety of beautiful gifts for all occasions, one can also find very nice Virginia and Roanoke City souvenirs, as well as Virginia Tech Hokie Bird and Virginia Cavaliers t-shirts and items. The pink flamingo is the store's logo, which has been opened for over 40 years. Victoria, one of the store's owner, and working there on the the I visited was very nice and helpful in showing me around. For the small space, they have a very nice variety of quality items very well placed all around the store. It's a pleasure just visiting the store, and one will always find something irresistible to have to buy and take home. I would recommend this store to anyone who is around Roanoke Market Square and looking to see a nice variety of good quality items in a small but well used space, and treated with excellent customer service that will make you feel at home while shopping.

Cool store to check out right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's packed full of all kinds of mountain…read morestuff, gifts, souvenirs, jams, jellies, produce, candy, ciders, clothing, and they have a big assortment of Lodge cast iron cook wear. They also have a little kitchen in the back where they offer sandwiches and scratch made biscuits and homemade breads, fried pies and a bunch of other stuff. There's no seating inside, there are some tables, rockin' chairs and benches outside if you want to sit and eat. From the kitchen I ordered a ham, egg & cheese biscuit and got a little container of their banana puddin'. The biscuit was great, the nanner puddin' was ok, I also got a couple of their no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies for the road which were awesome, they call them "Preachers Cookies" here, I always knew them as "Cow Patties"... really neat place.

I swung by a place next door for lunch. They were crazy busy though and I saw on Yelp that this…read moreplace did sandwiches so I decided to give them a try. It was barely controlled chaos in the store to say the least. It was a Saturday when I swung through, so all of the tourists from the Blue Ridge Parkway were stopping by for their tourist shopping fix. So I don't blame the chaos on the store so much as the tourists acting all rude and entitled, shoving their way around the store. I digress. The deli sandwich I had was very good, and made promptly. I also had a homemade brownie which had the perfect amount of sweetness and walnut ratio to it. I wanted to try the Possum Pie but just get the nerve up to ask what was in it. I mean it couldn't have been real possum could it? They do have limited outside tables. I was lucky enough to snag one but you may want to pick your food up here and then plan for a nice picnic on one of the parkways scenic pullouts.

Great place to take the family or just go for a stroll. They sell a variety of plants but…read morespecialize in lavender. There is a gift shop that sells handmade items and there are tables outside with a variety of venders. They have a picnic area to bring your lunch and enjoy the scenery. The staff are exceptional and will assist you with picking the correct plants for your needs. The grounds are beautiful and they often have events going on throughout the summer. Highly recommend!

We needed a place to go to escape the house for a few hours, and a friend suggested this. It's…read moreonly about a 40 minute drive out of Greensboro and was worth the trip. Frogholler is a lavender farm, with a small nursery. They have a couple of weeks in the late spring when you can go and pick lavender stems for $0.10 each. There are tables where you can make lavender wands or wreaths. There were rows and rows of lavender to pick from. The scent of the garden was heavenly. There were few people there, so staying away from others was not an issue. We had a lovely time picking our flowers. They provide baskets and sanitized scissors which are returned immediately to a bin of disinfectant when you're done. The people were fun, helpful and friendly. Check-out is in a small, but adorable gift shop. During this period, they limit to four people at a time in the shop and you must wear a mask. The shop has all things lavender, i.e. soap, oils, sachets, etc., plus items like handmade birdhouses. While we waited our turn, they served us a cup of delicious lavender lemonade. It was perfectly balanced - lemony with a light floral undertone. If you're looking for something different and fun to do, this is a good choice. They apparently have some other festivals over the season, so I'll be checking them out, too.
