Wild Oats & Billy Goats was defined to me as a (mostly) local arts & craft shop, representing over 65 different artists from all over the southeast. Pretty accurate.
It's an eclectic, whimsical store located right in downtown Crabapple, behind the Broadwell Pavilion. The art ranges from welded metal animals to handmade jewelry to stationary to paintings on all kinds of mediums.
If you're looking for a unique gift, I think you could find it here. While I was there, an artisan was out front on a lathe, creating little wooden tops. The store is quaint and packed with all kinds of things. You could be there for awhile, rummaging around for stuff.
The backyard is great as well with its own little stream and places to sit. If you're at any of the neighboring restaurants (Vintage Pizzeria, Miltons, Bar 850F, Mugs on Miltons, etc) and have a little free time, Wild Oats & Billy Goats is a fun place to visit.
This is their second location. The original is in Decatur. Hopefully we'll see some events specific to the Crabapple area soon! read more
