I think this store is the greatest part of living in Kingfield. Fabrics, sewing notions, earrings. And homemade cards.
Good Minnesota gifts too, like tea towels with the lists of Minnesota Hotdishes on them.

Pick up a rotisserie chicken, it comes with corn tortillas and green and red hot sauces. Good source for avacados, cilantro, etc. Homemade tortilla chips (which are the best). Also: the avocados are always ripe.
