Title: Favorite Gift or Craft Shop
Post by: Gift Shop Gal on February 01, 2012, 08:38:50 PM
Mine in the glass shop, I could stand there for hours watching. The leather, turquoise, & wood shops are great to browse thru. Love the pottery shop, enjoy watching them make vases.

Ya know, I enjoy the store that sells Jack Dawson paintings then the Ozark Market Place. After that the General Store.

This is a hard question to answer.  I love to watch the bakers at Delilah's, but a stop at the glassblowers goes without question.  The blacksmith is pretty cool, too.  See, I knew this would be hard to answer!  I buy a new piece of pottery for my son several times a year, have to drag my husband out of the knife and leather shop, and there's always something interesting to see at Sullivan's and the post office.  Scratch this post - I can't answer this question.

The woodcarvers, the blacksmith shop, Sullivan's Mill, the candle shop, the leather shop, and in the old days, the basket shop...all favorites. Also enjoyed the case engine cutting shingles, and and the wood turning lathe. Also from the old days, Grandpa at the wheel at the pottery shop.

I think my favorite store is Cowboy Jepp's. I love all the John Wayne stuff :)
I haven't decided on my favorite craft yet. They all amaze me and make me wish I could do that stuff!

I love the Gun and Knife shop, and I wish I could afford one of thier custom knives. Outside of that, I recently had a custom mug cut by George Stiverson which was neat. Although, I am a stickler for the Souvenir Shop. ;D

I have too many favorites; I prefer the shops that stick closest to the theme, of course.  I think we've spent the most money at the Leather shop, FWIW.

My wife, however, has a clear facorite:  Becca's!  (And she has spent there to prove it.)

I love the candle shop! I used to make candles all the time, then I ran out of places to put them. I have heart candles (the two connected by a wick) hanging on the back of my door, and the cat is finally tall enough to jump up and reach them. I'm gonna need new hearts because there are teeth and claw marks in the ones I have now. Or maybe I'll just steal one of my sister's candles. She makes a new one every single trip for as long as I can remember, so she easily has 100+.

I love the woodcarving shop, but then I am unusually biased  ::).

Otherwise, we always go to the blacksmith shop.  My dad blacksmith'd quite a bit when I was a kid and the smell of the coal fire  and the anvil ringing out are things I can't get enough of.

I'm with Ozark BBQ...LOVE watching Ray hammer out a knife.  I wished I could buy one..but my wife would probably use it on me!  Can't miss the woodcarver or the glass blower or the candy makers or the mill or the candles and I have to go to the leather shop and I cannot miss the blacksmith oh and I'll even watch them make soap........did I mention the knife maker?   :P

Wood carving shop all the way, second possibly the furniture shop (heartland home).
