I had loooked at the hanging Turkish lamps every time that I went in. I finally bought one. The ladies at the shop answered all of my questions, and wrapped all of my pieces. If you are planning on buying one, I would suggest a chandelier hook, and stud finder to find the joist in the ceiling. I love the lamp, and the shop! Also, if you want variety, change the color of the bulbs. The last photo is 4 watt E12 candelabra bulbs

Great shop with very friendly staff and great customer service! Loved every experience, the gem mining is definitely something everyone that comes to the shop should do! They have really great gifts for old to young kids! Definitely will be back again on our next trip!

Adorable shop off the main road but such a gem!! So hard to find cute items with Gigi on them but this place didn’t fail me, lol. My mom also loved taking a picture with the bear …

Nice little shop full of actual good stuff, not just little trinkets. They have very nice wind chimes, clothing, souvenirs, and plenty else for everyone. The staff here are so helpful and kind! I am very pleased with my time at the shop, and the chimes I bought. Great price, great product. It's a little off the beaten path but DEFINITELY a must for anyone visiting Helen!

Adorable shop in the heart of Helen. They had lots cute souvenirs like rocks, geodes, gems, wind chimes, t-shirts, canes, lawn art and some pottery. Everything is well organized and the staff was very helpful. The store required masks, which we really liked. The store also also has gem mining. They had a dog bowl out front. All in all a great store!

One of my favorite shops in Helen. Best selection of wind chimes, rocks and crystals. Plenty of t-shirts and fine handcrafted handbags and other crafts.The staff are extremely friendly.

We absolutely loved everything in there my goodness!! We drove from Mobile ,Al and were so excited but we were treated more like burdens than paying customers!! Little gurl behind counter obviously doesn’t like dealing with the general public so maybe a cubicle by herself staring at a wall would be a better choice for her!! Rude!!The general public doesn’t like dealing with her!!

Nice little shop in an amazing treehouse-style building. The wind chimes, gems and other nature items were all beautiful!

To whom the old white haired lady with the yellow wild wood shirt and khaki pants …… today you broke a 9 year family tradition. Not only are you an awful human but you treated a paying customer with the most disrespect. My pup needed to pee and I took him over to an old tree by himself with dead plants. Her words ….. please take your dog, put it on a leash and get off my private property. My dog rides in a stroller and I literally took him out for 5 seconds. I’m sure you will not miss my business but just know you’re an awful human.

The BEST shop in Helen! This store is down an alley back behind all the rest of the shops and has more of a country/cabin vibe than a Bavarian one. But the stuff they sell is the best in town. The shirts are soft and pretty, there are tons of wind chimes and birdhouses, jewelry, bags, mugs and geodes. Sort of a catch-all but in the best, classiest sort of way, not like the other shops. I love the stained glass Moroccan-style lamps in the back of the indoor area. A niece bought a fox mug that is super cute, and there's a leather/feather tote back in the display case that looks amazing.

A great place to visit on a breezy day. A bit pricey in my opinion, BUT it is a tourist area, this shop (just off Main Street) has the highest quality wind chimes and plenty of tourist souvenirs and paraphernalia. Be sure to check out the discount shelves on one end around the corner! They have *many* beautiful things besides chimes: carvings, local art, geodes (small to large!), rock specimens, clothing items, etc. A must-see to visit, you'll really enjoy it on a breezy day!

Some customer service people were very rude. I left there the things I was going to buy, I'm not buying from discourteous, impolite people. It was such an unpleasant experience.

One of the best shops and a can’t miss shop when in Helen, Ga! Unlike a lot of the stores there, this one isn’t outdated and redundant. There are so many things to look at and good quality merchandise. You can find everything ranging from wind chimes to clothes to handmade jewelry. I thought these weddding spoons we’re adorable as a gift!

Nice array of chachkas. Some a little over priced, but it's a tourist town so......

Gifts for everyone. Tees, precious stones, jewelry, Keepsake Baby gifts,etc. We stop here every trip we take to Helen, Ga. The staff is some of the nicest people I've met too! Very helpful!

Stopping at this store made my birthday trip the best I’ve ever had! The young gentleman named Michael directed me to some really cool jewelry pieces, and gave recommendations for food and local hikes. He was very friendly and helpful.

Excellent prices on more than just ordinary souvenirs. Has an open market type of feel. Just one block off main street. Excellent precious rock varieties that you can buy one or a whole bag for around five dollars. You also get a pouch with the store name and Helen, Georgia written on then. They sell round rocks that you can break open and see how the crystals develop inside. Problem is sometimes the rock is completely crystallized so you don't have the colorful crystals.

I feel like this is the real life version of the Wood Carver shop from Brave. Is you’re looking for Bears, wood, trinkets, gift, a ridiculous selection of wood carvings and some pretty fairly priced merchandise I would definitely check this place out! Also don’t forgot to get your photo with the giant bear on the way out.

This little shop was so cute. We found it by accident. I hope it gets a lot of traffic because u feel like it deserves to be on the main strip. Lots of beautiful merchandise. My favorite was the wind chimes. Very high quality. Make sure to go by here.

Shop had a lot of cool items, but nothing you couldn’t find in another shop around the square. The staff was incredibly rude they have a blanket display and there are signs that say “don’t unfold the blankets” and “ask for assistance”. My son wanted one of the blankets so I grabbed one off of the display because the signs read like they just didn’t want people messing up blankets they weren’t gonna buy. When I got to the checkout the lady was very nasty and I apologized and explained my reasoning and then apologized AGAIN and she was just very very ugly to me. I wish I would have just left my stuff on the counter and taken my money elsewhere ($200+ worth of stuff!) and while I did end up buying what I had I will not ever be back and will warn others of this place. There’s PLENTY of other shops that carry the same stuff and have way nicer staff!! I wish I had read the Google reviews before going here because it’s clear other people have had similar experiences.

We bought a bag of colorful rocks for our daughter. They looked pretty and we thought it was a fair price but when we came home we found out that the stones had been painted! They were supposed to be naturally colorful gem stones. They stained my daughter's and my wife's hands. I was more upset about the deception than the inconvenience. Beware!

We drove 7 hrs to get here specifically to buy windchimes. We checked the website for hours and arrived at 4pm, 2 hrs before closing. We arrived and there were at least 6 people inside but there were ropes blocking entry, signs up said shop was closed. We went around to the side (this is an open air shop), and told the woman we had just driven 7 hrs to get there and was the shop really closed. She said it was closed "today and tomorrow for reorganizing". She was so rude. No offer to help at all. We asked why it wasn't posted on the website and she just walked away. So we snapped a picture of the windchimes we wanted and ordered them online. No need to ever go here again.

Gift shop and decor, also offers "assay experience" (panning for gems). Lots to browse. Even a photo op with a black bear statuary.

The shop was very unique and carried nice items...especially compared to other shops around Helen. However, the staff was the absolute most rude of any we have encountered as of yet. Other would be customers at the same time as us left with the same terrible experience. We will not ever be back and will never recommend this shop as long as its under the current method of management.

Lots of nice things, one of the best shops in Helen! I just loved the wind chimes and Turkish lamps, highly recommend. The cashier on the outside register was very helpful, 10/10

Found this gem of a store as I was walking into town. They have everything! I purchased a beautiful wooden cross, a plaque about "wandering", t-shirt that is super soft and comfortable and a dragonfly necklace. The staff was super friendly and if I had more time I'd of visited this store again. They have something for everyone. Loved the clearance section and the stunning wind chimes. This is a stop y'all need to make.
