This page provides you with a tour of our store, which was once
the home to Riverboat pilot Captain John McCaffrey and his wife,
Sarah. For more photos of our shop, see Our Photo Gallery.
As you enter Grasshoppers from the side porch, you enter
the front room and check out area where my mom, Sam, is
there to greet you. Brady, our Golden Retriever, is probably
by her side. There is an old store cupboard which has a
splash of great seasonal displays. Also, there is a grand
fireplace where a fire blazes in the winter.
 My
Sister's Coffee House is off to the left. Visit Tonya's
(who is not my genetic sister!) website at:
www.mysisterscoffeehouse.com to learn more about this
fantastic addition, which
offers mochas, lattes, Cappuccinos, smoothies, Chai
teas, frozen drinks, biscotti, muffins, pastries and our daily
feature drinks.

 Around the corner to the right is the original dining
room which offers a variety of gourmet food items. Some of
our gourmets include Maggie and Mary's Simmering Soups,
Rabbit Creeks Breads, Brownies and Muffins, The Gourmet
Village, Cravings Dips and Mixes, The Pasta Shoppe Soups and
Salads, Starr Ridge Crackers, Plentiful Pantry Soups and
Cobblers, The Republic Tea, Stonewall Kitchen, The Robert
Rothschild Farm Products, Jellies, Salsas, Dips, Mustards,
Sauces and more.
Beyond the food, we carry great hostess gifts and kitchen
accessories.
The original parlor is about the Gent...we offer great
framed art, primitive farm items, interesting books, Sugo
CD's, Paperweights to Pens.
The front room is for the gardener. We carry statuary,
garden flags and mats, Bridgewater Candles, Chimes, Burt's
Bees, Rain Gauges, Birdhouses, Birdfeeders, Birdbaths,
Garden Stakes, Architectural items, Dried flowers and many
more items that change frequently.
If you head up the stairs and along the curved hallway,
there is a variety of framed art, beautiful floral
arrangements, mirrors (old and new) and home decor items
from the past to present.
At the top of the stairs is a cute room where you can
find unique baby gifts or items to decorate your own baby
room.
The front room was the Master Bedroom with beautiful bay
windows, where Sarah McCaffrey could watch for Captain John
to arrive home. This room is more Victorian with fun painted
furniture, old linens, vintage hankies, cameo vases, purse
mirrors, stationary from Lang Co., pillows, purses and other
small accessories.
The bathroom has the original claw foot tub which
overflows with Crabtree & Evelyn care products.
The back room was the servant's quarters and is now our
Christmas room.
 One of our biggest projects was the cellar. The Captain's Spirits
was calling us. What was mostly dirt and limestone dust is now the
Vintage Vine Wine Cellar. The cellar is now full of atmosphere not
to be missed. We carry a variety of wines with great labels and
great wine accessory items.
 Our latest project was The Barn. Everyone said, "Tear it down!"
Oh, I thought they said, "Tear into it!" - Well, we did, and it is
now filled with so much rustic charm, great antiques, wonderful soy
candles and so much more. My favorite treasure was finding the love
letters from the 1920's in the barn rafters. "For the Love of Louis"
is now a fantastic scrapbook.
Oh yeah - the loft is home to the PACALO club which is my 3 son's
favorite hangout. Don't try to enter without a password!
