Caffco

I have a secret.  Actually, it may not be a secret to some, but it was to me until three years ago.    

There’s a little place called Caffco that I visit about three or four times a year, especially during the Christmas season.  It’s tucked away on Highway 231, behind Southern Homes and Gardens.  “Year-round indoor yardsale” is the description that comes to mind when attempting to explain this little gem.  You need wall decor?  Caffco’s got it.  Christmas ribbon?  Tons.  Cellophane bags for wrapping?  All sizes.  Easter, fall, and Fourth of July paraphernalia?  You bet.

It’s the coolest.  And the best part is that it’s cheap.

See these stars on my mantle?  Caffco.  I love them.  And I loved them even more when I saw the $5.00 price tag.

   I’ve been eyeing this guy since October.  Don’t you think he’d be so cute in a bookshelf?  Maybe with a plaid Christmas ribbon tied around his neck? 

Don’t be fooled, though.  They’ve got non-Christmasy things, as well. 

This is how Sam feels after a trip to Caffco. 

If you decide to take a whirl yourself, you won’t be disappointed.  Tell ‘em Emily sent you.

Just kidding.  Please don’t.  They’ll ask you who Emily is. 

 

Here’s driving directions, for those interested:

1. Take Highway 231 towards Wetumpka.

2. After passing Southern Homes and Gardens on your left, look for an iron gate (shown above).  The iron gate will be immediately after the entrance into SHG.

3. Take a left into the gates, and follow the road all the way down.  You will eventually come to Caffco on your right.
