Plantagenet Rose, formerly at West Village in southwest Roanoke County, opened its new location at 16 South College Avenue in Salem on Tuesday, September 6, just in time for Olde Salem Days and the upcoming fall holiday seasons

It’s a boutique selling gift items and home decor from local and regional artists as well as national vendors like Demdaco and Kelly Ray Roberts. Local artists include Patricia Plaucona, Caroll Yopp of Rocky Mount, Amy Cahill from Lynchburg, purses and bags by Annie’s Baggage in Floyd, and Stella Jewelry by Roxy Broom of Salem.

There are even a few secondhand and antique items for sale whenever owner Gwenda Kellett sees something pretty and “not cheap, but value for money.” Kellett also offers full interior decorating services and silk floral arrangement.

At the store, Kellett is also planning on hosting social media seminars for artists who need to learn to market themselves at her store as part of her work with Southwest Virginia Artists.

Plantagenet Rose’s hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays. The West Village location will be open on an appointment-only basis through the foreseeable future.
