Previously:
Cloverleaf, in Ardmore, has a reputation as being hard to miss. Its bright pink exterior is surrounded by as much weirdo, amusement park decor that the proprietors could find. Inside you'll find one-of-a-kind gifts ranging from hand made decor to antique chotchkies. So let's pick some seemingly arbitrary items and rank them in a list...as you do...
5. Giant Inflatable Pink Flamingo
It doesn't take visitors long to realize the store has a huge "pink" theme and a fun tone. And nothing embodies these elements more than a giant inflatable pink flamingo. It's both functional as a pool toy and works as a decorative conversation piece.
4. Oklahoma Hand Towels
At least I think these are hand towels. What makes them stand out is the strong "Oklahoma" vibe and the retro design. Like the flamingos (and a lot of other stuff in the store), they are as fun to look at as they are to use,
3. Blue Whale Magnet Clip
There's probably a good chance that this item has absolutely nothing at all to do with the Big Blue Whale in Catoosa. The Oklahoma icon isn't nearly as represented in the merchandise world as I'd like so I'm just going to imagine that this guy is our pal from Route 66. If I'm wrong, don't tell me.
2. "Oklahoma Curiosities"
I'm almost done with this book and I'll be sad when I'm finished. It's got a ton of Oklahoma stories, information and facts that can help you find any number of interesting things in the Sooner state that are just a little off the beaten path.
1. Fake Animal Heads
If you've ever wanted your place to feel like the den of a big game hunter but you just don't have the time to stalk and kill your own wild game then you're in luck! The store has a several different heads to choose from and these don't have the creepy eyes that actual taxidermy usually has.
Not a bad haul for a roadside stop. If your next trip to Ardmore lands around the holidays or a loved one's birthday, then now you know where to load up on flamingos, whales and wart hog heads.
