Visiting Greenstreet Gardens during this time of year is a family outing not to be missed. Gorgeous wreaths, holiday greenery mixed with holly, rows of freshly cut Christmas trees and 150 varieties of endless poinsettias greet you. It’s not only the sheer drama of it all, imagining you have just been plopped into a holiday fairyland, but it’s the smells – the pine, the pine, the pine! It is without question, the most beautiful holiday offering in town, courtesy of owner and grower Ray Greenstreet, and his wife, Stacy.

The first time I visited Maggie Jane’s to interview proprietor Coddy Eyre, I became so enthralled with her shop that I failed to ask her any questions and left my notes on a shelf. I did try on several of her handmade necklaces and purchased two. Needless to say, Maggie Jane’s is a shopper’s dream, offering a stunning collection of vintage French urban chic items that, in many instances, Coddy has found and repurposed. Read more

Del Ray Variety has an expansive building and ample parking.
