GRANNY Taught Us How & Heidi's Room
The practical, the unusual and the hard to find, all in a friendly country
store…enjoy a leisurely browse.
Granny Taught Us How is pleased to introduce a brand new collection of home décor treasures that add a modern elegance and chic flair to our authentic colonial/country-style offerings... Heidi's Room >
Granny taught us… about quality, about taking the time to create unique and enduring objects for everyday use or simply to admire.
We have created a shopping experience for you that demonstrates these same values. It's not about trends, it's about timelessness and tradition…with a bit of fun added to the mix.
Visit us in our lovingly restored historic building in the hamlet of Violet Hill. Whether you are shopping for a wedding gift, baby gift or trying to give your home a lift, we've got it all!
Hundreds of ideas under one roof.

Our divine offerings range from the whimsical to the practical.
