Eclectic Originals
In Waynesville, Missouri, Eclectic Originals hides a gem where local honey sits beside handmade jewelry and crystals. The shop stocks locally made goods and a rotating lineup from Missouri artisans, with honey coming straight from nearby apiaries. The owner is famously personable, supporting fellow vendors and keeping the shelves fresh enough to surprise you on every visit. You can taste and take home honey we love, and they’ve even stocked honey based treats like honey ice cream, proof that the bees still know how to party. If you don’t see what you want, she’ll order it for you, turning a quick stop into a mini shopping spree. You’ll find them in their retail store along Route 66, just west of Waynesville’s historic Square. It’s the kind of warm, local shop you remember long after you leave, a small-business heartbeat that makes Waynesville feel a little sweeter.
