Why should you shop here?

For many years I have dreamed of owning my own store and bringing my creations to life. I started out making my hand-crafted designs in my home. I have hand selected each product in our shop and we have in-house designers who can bring your vision to life as well.

We worked hard to select unique products that are local to the Virginia and North Carolina area as they are near and dear to our heart. We also offer gourmet treats, candles, and many other goodies. We have an amazing design team that creates anything you can imagine, ranging from custom hand-etched wine glasses, embroidery, t-shirts and so much more! We also offer paint nights which are perfect for a girl’s night or a child’s birthday party.

This business venture has been a true labor of love, so we hope you truly enjoy all of our products! Be sure to follow us on our social medias. - Missy

Did you know ???

Did you know the City of Emporia had many of our amazing city employees attending the Annual Administrative Professionals Day at Golden Leaf Commons? Administrative Professional Day has a history dating back to 1952 when President of the National Secretaries Association Mary Barrett triggered National Secretary’s Day on June 1. In 1955 the last full week in April was designated National Secretaries Week before undergoing the name change to Administrative Professionals Week. Today, there are more than 4.1 million secretaries and administrative assistants working in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Labor statistics, and 8.9 million people working in various administrative support roles.

This event had food provided by Fo Sho catering, music by the Featured Attraction Band, and smiles provided by everyone who attended. We hope to see you there next year!! Special thanks the Emporia-Greensville Chamber of Commerce for this amazing event!!!
