\"Who

Who doesn't need a granite garden ball, or about 1,300 other what-nots<\/p><\/div>\n

So, last weekend was my anniversary.\u00a0 My wife and I like discovering unexpected places and we road trip alot.\u00a0 This weekend, while on just such a road trip a discovered a deliciously quirky gift store in Wytheville, VA.\u00a0 Learn more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is a gift store attached to a restaurant attached to a collection of kitsch.\u00a0 The restaurant itself was pleasant and carried the ambiance of a place that was actually built in 1776.\u00a0 The owners have done their best to keep the centuries of history alive.\u00a0 That is where the ‘neat’ factor went off the chart!<\/p>\n

In what can only be described as a backyard garden they had a collection of rabbits and birds and whatever else nature had brought their way.\u00a0 The<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"ummm....because

ummm....because your bird bath looked empty without the Monet print?<\/p><\/div>\n

collection of various plants was amazing, I can only imagine what it would<\/p>\n

look like in the spring or summer.\u00a0 You know the way some people are able to keep their gardens perfectly disheveled and have it look wonderful.\u00a0 That is the best description of this backyard oasis.\u00a0 Planned chaos.\u00a0 Organized mayhem.\u00a0 And that, that was just the entree to what lay in wait inside the gift shop.<\/p>\n

The gift shop was 1\/3rd garden store, 1\/3rd flea market finds, and 1\/3rd roadside truck-stop gift-shop.\u00a0 things are packed in so tightly that you can hardly move, but you have to, because around each tucked away corner there is a new treasure to be found.\u00a0 Fr<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"A

A very large rabbit will keep you company while you sit and contemplate life in the backyard garden.<\/p><\/div>\n

om lawn ornaments and statuary to sun catchers and things that make you say “Whaaaat?”\u00a0 they have it all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That’s what make Fall so perfect.\u00a0 Good weather and the time to go<\/p>\n

discover serendipitous places. So, if you are ever on I-81\u00a0 going to look at leaves in the Blue Ridge Mountains and you are looking for a great place to spend some time, or if you have a person to buy for that is impossible to surprise any more, I highly recommend you swing by 1176 Log House.<\/p>\n

If you have a favorite ‘undiscovered place’, or\u00a0 a favorite place for garden whimsy, I’d love to hear about it. Leave a comment or a link in the comment section to share with our community here at mymontys.com blog.<\/p>\n
