It's not difficult finding quaint little shops on the long and winding road in the Valley of a Thousand Hills, but finding a restaurant which I gave you a peek of in Embracing Silver with arms open wide, plus a nursery as well as a gift and book shop and a play area for kiddies, all in one, is something to get excited about; Stonehouse - the Garden Shop & Cafe is one of those rare finds!
I will let you shop with your eyes and then you'll know just how tempting everything is.
We'll start with the nursery which has indoor and outdoor plants, seeds, planters from big chunky pots to gorgeous hanging baskets.
Beautiful succulents - Desert Roses
A gorgeous heart to welcome one and all into your home.
Chimes - some made with sea shells.
I was spoilt for choice and hubby eventually had to fetch a basket as I took a trinket here and there plus some plants and of course the excellent Lineage freshly roasted Coffee.
Pretty and useful trinkets as well.
I really did not know where to start and when to stop, but unfortunately money doesn't grow on trees; it does grow here on Hive though, not so!
Neck pillows for weary little travelers:)
Books for Africa, from kiddies books to recipe books to novels, gardening, poetry and self-help book; I will be back for sure!
This has been my contribution to the lovely @dswigle's Market Friday, look forward to seeing what you found at the market today;)

Wonderful place!!! so many different amazing things! and flowers and trinkets. I really love these shops. I especially liked the neck pillows !!!
What a cool shop, @lizelle!
I Liked the shell chimes, the koi, and the birds!
The opening shot is so lovely, with the view of the orchids balancing out the beauty. The stone house itself is gorgeous, so welcoming and I like the lines of the structure. They keep it all in order and the plants look very healthy. Just the kind of shot I love! Who wouldn't want a heart like that? Sweet!!! And hearts and hearts and more hearts. Love, love, love.
I love seashell wind chimes!! When you got on to the little candle in the beautiful rock? carved? almost thought it was coral for a moment, but, all bets were off as you threw trinket after trinket at me! I cannot go into places like this and use restraint.
I must know what you came home with, besides coffee? I had a most delightful time and I love when you take me to these place! Fun and so full of promise to get more pretties!
