Happy Spring!

March 2024

Friends,

There is nothing more beautiful than historic downtown Greensboro in the Spring! You are already being teased with the yellow jasmine cascading out of the trees, all varieties of Jonquils popping out of the ground and the warmth in the air beckoning you to walk the downtown sidewalks, smell the fragrances and venture out on Lake Oconee to enjoy the beauty of a sunrise or sunset. What a wonderful area to live, work, visit and play!

Our store receives new handcrafted art made only by Georgia artists weekly, so be sure to stop by and check us out! We're open Monday through Saturday, 10-5, and look forward to welcoming you and hopefully making you feel right at home! We love the opportunity to show off our treasures!

See you soon,

Cynthia Smith, Owner
