Pura Vida Wordly Art! Teresa (the owner) is a beautiful person, and her store reflects that. Art from around the world (large and small), books, candles, jewelry, clothing, items from lots of different faith traditions... She's having a big sale now through 11/28 - Early Black Friday!

She's got these Christmas ornaments that are paper, with seeds embedded in them - you can plant them! Great sustainable gifts.

And she hosts live music nearly every Saturday, for free! (The artists accept donations)

It is SUCH a special store.

Let's see, we are in the Gaston County area...we visit
Belmont General Store, The String Bean, Tobacco Road Outlet (Cigar gifts),
Mt. Holly Hardware they have a small selection of garden goodies. Piccolo Antique mall and a store also in Belmont called Hip Chicks.


Those are some local stores that come to mind.

Park Road Book!

They've often been able to get in books for us faster than the larger bookstores in the area. In addition, they've gone the extra mile in locating rare books.

And, they are just so nice!

Great thread!

Consider Paper Skyscraper thirded.
My sister is visiting from Detroit and we went out to look for some stuff for our niece. Mainly I was going just to find a unique card -- that proved very easy. My sister also walked out with a scarf and a bracelet. And we bought a big ol' sheet of heavy duty wrapping paper that we use on top of a coffee table for decoration. And some candy. And a twisty pencil.
It is a VERY cool store.

We also stopped in there. I'd been meaning to check it out for some time because it just looks so darned neat. But sadly we couldn't stay. Just inside the entrance was a tray with incense burning -- and it was just billowing an enormous amount of smoke all over the place. My sister lasted about five seconds before she had to leave. My fiancée and I couldn't stay much longer than a minute. It was really a shame, because it does indeed like a reeeaaaaaly cool place. Hopefully that attack-of-the-incense thing was an anomoly?
