Hocking Hills Shopping
There are quaint little shops in the Hocking Hills featuring
one-of-a-kind handcrafted items of porcelain, wood, and earthy materials. Yesterday,
my ideas of shopping in the Hocking Hills exceeded expectations. It was my
first time visiting the shops. Me and my bestie met at 9 am for a shopping
spree in the Hocking Hills. A gorgeous, sunny day, we began our adventure at Christmas Treasures &
Hocking Hills Candle Works.
The cabin off the side of Ilesboro Road seems small from
the outside, but when you’re inside, there is much to see. Christmas fills
every corner on two levels; large and small nativities, Santas, ornaments,
shelf-sitters, knick-knacks, and more. On the right as you enter is a separate
room full of artisan candles. The candlemaker was busy melting wax and creating
something that smelled heavenly. We oohed and aahed through the
room as we opened jars to smell traditional and unique aromas. Finally, I
grabbed the chai and balsam candles, thinking Christmas gifts.

Our next stop was next door to the Wind Chime Shop, another
vintage cabin. It houses the magical sound of windchimes. We found a variety of
chimes, from simple to soul-searching sounds that echoed throughout the room. Some
of the chimes are handmade locally, while others are made by artisans from around the world.
Spending the morning at these two shops, we were ready to
venture back to Logan for lunch. But, we didn’t get too far. Driving Big Pine
Road, we found Hocking House, another
vintage cabin with a lot of local history and artisan items. Mr. Magdich, the
proprietor and artisan, welcomed us and showed us his handmade
stepping stones, custom patio, garden sculptures, and porcelain wares. I
purchased a porcelain snowflake and Magdich signed and dated it for me. A charming
experience, I will certainly visit the Hocking House in the near future.
Arriving to downtown Logan, we had lunch at M&M Diner, then said our goodbyes until we meet again for more fun, laughter, and another shopping spree.
