“This is the cutest shop. We stopped in our way to Cherokee. I could have bought everything in the store. ?. There are tons of cute things for your garden. We bought a big sign for our yard. This store is a must see.”
“This little shop was the highlight of our day trip the Cherokee today! Normally we buy a little wedding vase or tchotchke each time we come from another store in town but we explored the "less busy" side of the area and found Village Merchant. Walking in, I spotted the local art by Luzell of area scenes hand painted on saw blades, jugs, rocks, leaves, and even a pair of boots and couldn't get farther into the little store without deciding what to take home! My husband and I probably spent 30 minutes in that corner of the store debating on the piece to purchase.. we ended up taking home a long saw, three smaller circular blades, and I ran back before checking out and grabbed a small glass bottle.The artist's sister (I believe they both own the store?) chatted with us and was super pleasant! We unfortunately did not get her name this time but we are already planning on coming back up to grab a few more pieces for our home!Thank you for the nice chat today and we hope to see you in Blue Ridge, GA, sometime!”

“The best selection of turquoise earrings in that strip of stores. Prices were equivalent to every store in that strip (I'm talking about earrings only.) I didn't like that they were right by the register, I had to wait to look at them when no one was checking out because I couldn't get to them from the other side there was so much merchandise! They definitely had a good selection of souvenirs!”
“My Mom and I was there in January and we bought several things and we love how the dream catchers are handmade and the wood carvings are too. Everything we bought is in great condition and looks fabulous too!!! If you are in the area you need to stop by there, you will not be disappointed!!!”

The store is clean and we'll organized and you don't feel too cramped.They do have a no photography rule that I broke but it's my job as a Google advisor to let people know all the cool stuff they have.”
