Mountain Laurel Gallery

Cute little store with lots of whimsical handmade items. Guy at the counter was quiet but very nice. A little pricy but very unique inventory!

Not one to brag much about local artisan and tourist shops as my wife and traverse the country — but this little ditty is well worth the visit. Enjoyable window and shelf browsing and nice, quaint and unique items make this shop stand out. A must stop-​in if in town visiting.

They have been in business for 10 years :-)
I have visited many art galleries and this isn’t your regular run of the mill. My boyfriend is a woodworker and I’ve definitely seen some indivual unique pieces here. There is some pretty amazing metal sculpture art. Particularly loved the ones hiding in the bushes out front. What really drew me into the store was the cat figures, available in multiple colors the cats were in a sitting meditation pose (You can also view the art on their Website) Although they ranged in many different sizes I found the small ones rather affordable at 20 dollars each.
even if your not an art collector or you find it too expensive for your tastes I recommend this place as rather decently priced… and I’ve traveled and worked in many historic «quaint» towns.
My boyfriend found the most amazing colorful socks that was uniquely mismatched and made in the U.S. there was no questioning that he had to have them.
other things I found myself very fascinated with, the clocks, glass and woodwork combinations, jewelry and the wood framed sand/​water bubble turners.
Located on the corner of Fairfax street and just along the main drag of town directly across the State Park. This place is worth checking out every time you visit. We were happily greeted upon entering the store this past Saturday and highly look forward to returning next time we pass through town.
While street parking is also easy in most areas, if you wish to park very close to the store I recommend you bring a good chunk of Quarters to use the 2 hour parking meters outside. You get 30 minutes per quarter so its not too expensive as far as meters go.
It is also may be wheel chair accessible as the front door had a small ramp that winded around the corner. However it is of course a small store to begin with.
