About WILLow LeaVes of Hope
WILLow LeaVes of Hope is a family business on Jackson Street in the small town of Hope, run by three sisters, Lisa, Vickie and Laura. Under one roof it combines a breakfast and lunch restaurant, an antique shop, a gift and home decor store, a women's clothing boutique and an event center that stages dinner theater.
The restaurant serves breakfast from 8 to 10 and lunch from 11 to 2 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, plus the first Saturday of each month from 10 to 2. The shops keep 8 to 3 hours on those weekdays. Hours can shift around holiday weekends, so the sisters ask guests to call ahead. Shoppers will find antique and new furniture such as farmhouse tables, buffets and kitchen islands, along with candles, gifts and women's fashions.
On select weekends the event center becomes a dinner theater. Recent seasons have included summer productions and December holiday shows, such as a Christmas music variety show and a live radio-play version of A Christmas Carol served with a pork chop dinner. Show tickets are sold by phone at 812-341-7251 or online, and the same number handles catering.
White Diamond Lavender Farms is just outside Hope, about 10 minutes away, so lunch here fits neatly around one of the farm's events or its Lavender Daze festival.
