Step into a world of vibrant colors and enchanting fragrances as you step through the doors of The Muscadine Vine. Nestled in the heart of the Davis Shopping Center, this charming gift shop is a dream brought to life by the dynamic duo of Kristin Womack and Stephanie Martin. And with the unwavering support of Stephanie's husband, Blake Martin, and their quirky employee of the month, Vinny (who happens to be a fish), this store has become a beloved gem in the Pelahatchie community.
The story of The Muscadine Vine began with a shared dream between best friends Kristin and Stephanie. After years of discussions and planning, they finally summoned the courage to turn their vision into a reality. With the helping hand of Blake, they transformed their handmade crafts from street markets into a physical storefront that beckons visitors to explore its treasures.
Situated between a doctor's office and a karate center, The Muscadine Vine is a welcoming oasis of creativity waiting for curious souls to discover. The grand opening on October 14, was met with overwhelming support from the community. This unique gift shop isn't just a hodgepodge of random items; it's a carefully curated collection of products from 24 different families, all offering their handmade items and boutique creations.
Both Kristin and Stephanie were moved by the outpouring of community spirit and were quick to credit Blake Martin for his invaluable assistance in running the business and securing the location. The Muscadine Vine went from a lease signing to a bustling store in just one month, and it has been thriving ever since.
Kristin and Stephanie, proud natives of the Pelahatchie area, value the feedback of their customers and are always eager to enhance their store. Inside, you'll find an array of delightful offerings including candles, gift wrapping, gift cards, woodwork designs, embroidery, and stylish hoodie and tee shirt designs. The store is open from Tuesday to Friday, from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, and on Saturdays from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, with Sundays and Mondays as their well-deserved days of rest.
But The Muscadine Vine is more than just a store; it's a hub for creativity and community. The space hosts various workshops led by guest artists, providing an opportunity for visitors to create their own crafts with expert guidance. The ladies are also masters of customer service, always eager to listen and improve their business based on the needs of their patrons. Their children play a significant role, akin to a different branch of the Muscadine Vine, and even set up a lemonade stand during the store's grand opening. They are known as the Vine Kids.
Exciting times are ahead for The Muscadine Vine, with a vendor market scheduled for December 2, 2023. The parking lot will come alive with local vendors, food trucks, and bounce houses for the little ones, promising a festive holiday shopping experience.
You can find The Muscadine Vine at 505 Second Street in the Davis Shopping Center, Pelahatchie, MS. Be sure to connect with them on Facebook, Instagram, and Tik Tok.
So, don't hesitate to step inside and meet Kristin, Stephanie, The Vine Kids, Blake, and the ever-charming Vinny. They're all waiting to greet you and help you discover that perfect gift. The Muscadine Vine is more than a store; it's a heartwarming community treasure waiting for you to explore.
