My wife and I decided to take a day trip to Siloam Springs, as we had never visited this little city before. We were delighted to find Heart of the Home in the downtown district. So many unique items! We browsed and browsed, trying to decide which items to buy as Christmas gifts or for ourselves. The prices were quite reasonable. This was easily one of the best gift shops we have ever seen. We'll be back!
