New website and online shopping...fall 2014!

This Dahlonega gift shop is getting an online makeover!  Coming fall 2014 - we'll be launching a new website and store featuring both handmade items and Cranberry Corners best-sellers.  Just in time for all your Christmas online shopping!  In the meantime, stop by the shop or visit our facebook page to see our latest arrivals.

Fall is in the Air...

We've had a couple days this summer that have felt like fall...that's why Cranberry Corners caught the Halloween bug a bit early this year!  We've got a small selection of scary merchandise + Halloween gifts in stock - and will be adding a bit more over the next couple of weeks. Stop by sometime and say hey to our skeleton, jack-o-lantern, witch + spider friends!

Happy Fourth of July!

Will you be lucky enough to catch the fireworks in Dahlonega this year?  We hope so - it's a spectacular show.  For a complete schedule of July 4th events, click here.  Whether you visit us by the holiday weekend or sometime this summer, stop by and say hey to Kranberry Kathy.  She'd love to see you!  

Father's Day in Dahlonega...

Father's Day is Sunday, June 15th.  Do you have your Pop's gift yet?  If you're shopping in Dahlonega between now and then, be sure to stop by Cranberry Corners.  Of course we'll have greeting cards - and fun inexpensive items like fishing and golf ornaments.  If your Dad or Husband is an outdoors man, then how about a Tula straw hat?  They are super comfortable and breathable on hot Summer days.  Perfect for fishermen, gardeners, and hikers!

Popular Summer Gifts, Current Best-Sellers + Coming Soon!

Top left, our soy candles embellished with vintage labels.  They smell great and burn for a looooong time.   Next, Silver Forest earrings - and boy do we have a huge selection to choose from.  Affordable priced but not skimping AT ALL with style.  On the bottom row - one of our most popular, best-selling AND locally made lines : bath and body products by Old Crow Soap.

Notebooks to record your blooming thoughts this Spring + Summer, and note cards to thank your friends for all the Sunday barbecues they're going to invite you to.

Wildflower Festival of the Arts Dahlonega | May 17th + 18th 2014

It's Wildflower Festival of the Arts time in Dahlonega!  This annual festival features an artist market, a selection of locally grown plants, flowers and vegetables, and we're sure plenty of musicians picking and grinning on park benches and under tents around the square.  Stop by Cranberry Corners if you're in town for the festivities.  We'll be featuring lots of specials for the weekend and would love to see your face!

Dahlonega's 2014 Bear on the Square Festival...a big success!

Many locals will tell you, Dahlonega's Bear on the Square festival is one of their favorite festivals of the year.  Held this past April 26th and 27th, here are a few of our favorite memories from the 2 day event.  The weather was perfect, the music was wonderful!

Shenanigans Irish Pub Fire in Dahlonega, Georgia | An Update!

It was a sad, sad St. Patrick's day when Dahlonega's Shenanigan's Irish Pub, a favorite of locals + tourists alike, caught fire in the early morning hours just a few days before the holiday.  True to form, the citizens of Dahlonega rose to the occasion and within hours organized a fundraising event for the employees displaced by the fire.  The restaurant has already begun clean-up and construction, hoping to re-open Summer 2014.  To donate to Shenanigans employee fund, click here.  To read the Dahlonega Nugget's write-up of the fire, click here.

Now THIS is funny.

Okay, this is NOT a greeting card that Cranberry Corners carries - we're not sure how well it would be received.  Definitely appropriate to share it online, though.  Hope this makes you laugh as much as it did Kranberry Kathy!

You never know what you'll see on Dahlonega's Square...

In this case, a llama!  Kranberry Kathy tried to convince him to become Cranberry Corners new mascot - and needless to say he was at a loss for words!  Thanks, Susan Hunt Massage Therapist extraordinaire, for bringing the latest to addition to your farm by the shop for a visit.  He's welcome anytime! 

When life imitates art...

...in this case, it's a customer and her mini-me rainbow sock monkey stuffed toy.  Don't you think they make adorable twins?
