Grandmother's Back Room in The Great Falls Village Center has announced a new handcrafted gift item for this holiday season. For over 15 years this children's shop has been bringing the finest handcrafted children's knit goods to the Northern Virginia area. The small shop is full to the beams with fun gifts and clothing for boys and girls from birth to first or second grade.
In 2012, a new gift addition is a handcrafted wooden rocking motorcycle locally made by Joe Reasoner, in Hamilton, Va. Each Ride-n-Rocker is unique, and can be custom crafted in many variations. Reasoner is a US Veteran, and creates each rocker by hand—no two are identical, and each rocker is numbered.
In addition, Grandmother's Back Room would like to thank the community for efforts following Hurricane Sandy, to bring children's and other goods to those in need. Clothing, blankets, toys, toiletries, and other equipment were delivered, before Thanksgiving, to a very appreciative organization distributing items as needed, just outside of Philadelphia, Pa.
Grandmother's Back Room is located at 756 E Walker Road, Great Falls. Shop hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and the store will be open 12 to 5 p.m. Sunday, beginning in December. 703-759-2680.
