Want to give something made locally at the holidays? At The Eclectic Garden, we treasure the artistry of hand-made items so much that we feature almost 80 of the area’s most unique creations by local folks! These talented people, mostly women, create such items as: jewelry, handbags, folk-art paintings on canvas and rustic boards, pillows, soap, kitchen accessories, wall hangings, baby and childrens’ items, pet items, stained glass, mosaic items, and lots more! In kitchen accessories, we have one creation that is a cheese board made out of beautiful granite pieces. We also have other cheese boards made from various glass bottles that are flattened, as well as corks, beaded serving pieces, painted dishware, wine glasses and monogrammed cocktail napkins. Our baby and childrens’ items keep expanding, including tub toy buckets, handmade bonnets, wall art, quilts, burpie cloths, photo frames, and a few very well made clothing items for girls including ponchos! And our newest additions are: country candy made in the NC mountains, including coconut squares, chocolate covered everything, and orange slices!; and, jellies including pepper jelly, white zinfandel jelly and more! COME IN AND SEE WHAT MAKES US SO UNIQUE AND YET SO COMFORTABLE! We’ll make you smile!
