Nancy's Candy Company....Chocolate Heaven

I took a little drive up the road to one of my most favorite places to visit, "Nancy's Candy Company. Most the time we just call it Nancy's fudge because that's what she is so famous for. Nancy's is located in Meadows of Dan, Virginia just off the Blue Ridge Parkway; mile marker 177.1 or if you are coming from the town of Stuart it's about 14 miles up highway 58. If coming in this direction don't for get to make a right at the marker for Meadows of Dan or you'll be all the way in Hillsville before you realize you've gone to far. 

I was feeling a little down hearted on Thursday so I decided to soothe my soul with chocolate. I thought it would be a great place to share with you. This is not just a trip to a candy store. Nancy's is an experience. 

Nancy's fudge  and her story is an inspiration. She is the proof positive that good thing can happen to good people, hard working people. When I was a little girl, Daddy liked to take a Sunday drive on the mountain but back then Nancy was selling her wonderful fudge straight off her back porch. 

Even on a Thursday morning folks are stopping by.

Going inside! I am a kid again!

Can't you find anything you like?

Jelly Belly's...yum.

Tell yourself not to get distracted you ain't seen nothin' yet.

Chocolate covered almost anything.

Peanute brittle too!!

She has a wonderful sugar free selection.

I doubt you can tell much difference

but..I'm here for the real stuff.

 Oh yeah....

Life is full of hard choices!

She has lot's of wonder gifty items too.

"Too much of a good thing is wonderful," May West.

She has a glass window that looks directly into the factory. 

I love looking in at them. I can't helping thinking of "I Love Lucy."

 

Nancy's Candy Company...a winner.

Friendly Folks!

Well I hope I have totally tempted you But if the drive is too far Nancy ships worldwide. 

Nancy's Candy Company, will talke you to her. 

As always thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day.

How I Spent September 3

Hey! I am so glad you decided to drop in for a visit. I have some pictures to share with you of our visit to Larry's Variety Shop and the SUM(Stuart United Methodist) Labor Day Sale. I had lots of fun looking at all the good old stuff folks had brought out to sale. I'm a lover of the rusty and crusty items and baskets; there where plenty of both to enjoy. It is also interesting to see all the different license tags on the cars that travel through Patrick County on this holiday. Many travelers had been to Hillsville, Virginia for their annual Labor Day Sale. Maybe a Labor Day in the future I'll get up their for a visit. You would surely be amazed the way that little town transforms itself into a tag sale. The enthusiasm filters down to our region and turn any road leading to them into a pickers paradise.

 

We were stopping on the last, rainy day.

I'm so glad there were still vendors set-up.

 

Oh kids, I hope you didn't wear your good shoes!

It's going to be muddy.

This is just one glass case. This lady had six

tables full of vintage jewelry.

Here's a little something for Alisha,

my Dr. Pepper girl.

 

 

 

I could see these in my flower bed.

Old Scale

Love this color!

Oh my goodness....baskets, baskets, baskets.

 

Larry's Variety

 

 

 

 

 

  

Larry calls this the porch.

He's said it's barely fit for the yard sale but

I've found some of the best things out here.

 

 

I think Jack's found something he likes.

 

Funny...

 

Jack asked if this was a washing machine.

 

Some items under glass.

A little something for the car fan.

 

I just showed you a small bit of what's here. If you liked this, there is so much more I have to show you. If you like tag sales. vintage treasures, and antiques then you've only began to see what Patrick County and the surrounding areas have to offer.

                                                     Have a blessed day!
