A new place to have coffee, find some great art and unwind in Carytown (Richmond)... Mott Gallery
Or, for gifts galore...old school elegance and old Virginia taste and quality...check out Laurie Holladay Interiors. My visit with Laurie this fall made me feel like all was NOT lost when it came to gracious living, marvelous manners and subtle elegance. Not only is this shop filled with amazing gifts and decorative accessories, they also do custom lamp work and carry my favorite new furniture and leather products by Christophe Pourny!
If you are visiting Gordonsville, you don't want to miss having lunch at Pomme...just up the street from Laurie's. Definitely make a reservation...It's popular!! Gordonsville is a charming town...wonderful shops up and down Main Street...and not too far from Barboursville and the incredible Palladio at the Barboursville Vineyard! (You can finish your day with dinner there!!)
Cheers! Liz
