Have you ever stepped into a store and felt like you were home? It's a feeling I can't describe completely but I love when it happens. It's comforting. I want to sit down, have a cup of coffee and soak in my surroundings. I have found a few places in the community that are like this and I really enjoy visiting and shopping there. When I have the opportunity to sell my handmade goods at such a store it's even better. It's better because I'm part of something I feel so wonderful about. What's the store name you ask?
a.l.o.e. It's a great little place located in the center of Lewisville, NC in a cozy house and it really does have a little bit of everything.
They support local art and have a beautiful blend of different artists selling their work in the store. Their products grow weekly and are changed out regularly so it's always fresh. They have jewelry, hand-blown glass, fused glass pendants, soldered pendants, paintings, wind chimes, glass/bead mobiles, stained glass, window art, knitted products, refurbished furniture, painted signs, baby items, gifts for teens, and much more. Basically, you name it and they have it.
Besides local art and refurbished furniture they also offer spa services- manicures/pedicures and massages. And if that's not what you are looking for they also have yoga, social gatherings, kids night out events, host birthday parties and they are planning to offer art camps this summer.
So if you need to get out of your house for a breath of fresh air and want to be around good people or products that will inspire you,
a.l.o.e. is where you need to go. I promise you won't be disappointed.
Here are a few of my items you can find at a.l.o.e:
