I've said it before, the best gift shops are the ones that fit a ridiculously large amount of merchandise into a small space and make it look completely planned and perfectly appealing. Well, Fo'Castle is no exception. Filled to the brim with more than your eye can absorb, every nook and cranny is lovingly arranged with eye-appealing precision, resulting in a chorus of ooohs and ahhhs, making you suddenly realize you're grinning or even smiling ear-to-ear. Regardless of how current the merchandise is, a stroll through Fo'Castle somehow feels like a stroll back in time. It's not about the stuff, I'm not even sure what it is, but you just feel a little like you've been scooped up and transported back, away from modern times, away from cell phones and computers....sort of back to the good old days. That's the best way I can explain it.
Fo'Castle has a variety of home decor, housewares, candles, baked goods, seasonal decor and in the fall - apples and apple cider. They also have a delightful children's room full of goodies for the kids and grandkids in your life, as well as their popular penny candy. Trust me, no matter what your style you'll find something you can't live without at Fo'Castle Farm......even if it is just the cider donuts!
I don't even have red accessories in my kitchen, but I just LOVE all of these!
They're following me - these adorable felt creatures! And yes....I had to buy one! Did you see the elephants in the picture above next to the orange poppies? Too cute!
Feeling drawn to visit this quaint treasure? You can find Fo'Castle Farm at 166 Kinglsey Road in Burnt Hills. They are open from 8:00-5:00 everyday! Sandwich Shop is open from 11:00-3:00pm.
Whew....this has been a long series and I have one more left. I hope you'll stick around for that before I hopefully move on to something new and different....maybe even something involving the outdoors. Happy Spring and thanks for visiting Life As I See It!
