Opened in 1972 by Gay Alvarez, The Lemon Fair is a gallery/gift shop specializing in handmade, unusual, and magical gifts and treasurers. The Sewanee Angels floated into the store soon after. Children riding to school on the winding and twisting road down the mountain needed their angel to stay with them while they were away from Sewanee. Upon their arrival back on the mountain, they would hang their angel to rest, now relieved of duty.
This was such a charming notion, I decided to provide fun and unusual angels in what was then the only store in Sewanee. Who would have guessed such whimsey would become a traditional part of Sewanee!
THE LEMON FAIR is the home of the Sewanee Angel and is the sole supplier of the "Sewanee Angel Legend" and other unique Sewanee items!

Lemon Fair Love Letters
"The Lemon Fair is my favorite stop on Dec. 24... solutions for that last minute gift! It is the place to visit with other last minute shoppers." Margaret
"Do you know that I used to think the Lemon Fair was magic? Every time we came to visit Uncle Laurence and Aunt Gay, there seemed to always be a Lemon Fair visit, and there's no store quite like it in Valdosta, indeed, perhaps anywhere else. My earliest memories of the Lemon Fair are of chimes and bright colors combined with angel motifs, so it's no wonder really that I believed Mom's stories of the Sewanee Angel. If it's not too romantic and cliched to say, I probably still do." Marie
"thank you so much. i got them (Angel Cards ) today! that was incredibly fast!" Manry
"I worked for Gay at the Lemon Fair right after I graduated from Sewanee. What a wonderful job!" Chris
"My "Sewanee Angel" sticker that's been on the back of my '97 Honda Civic since .. well, 1997 ... is showing LOTS of wear and tear from the Texas sun...I was wondering how/if I could get another one -- I need to show my Sewanee Spirit!" Anne
"Hi Gay..just ordered another set of Beatles mugs....can not split them up and my boys love the Beatles, and are hard to shop for !!! Went thru PayPal....and a metal angel!
Just wanted you to know I have received all but the framed angel so far...and love everything!! Thanks for all you did and guess I better keep posted on your site for new angels!!" Muffy
"Years ago when Gay was visiting Vermont she read about the Lemon Fair
River and wallah the name was born! The Lemon Fair is a wonderland of
creativity and enchantment. It is a place to find a gift for a friend, a
wonderful wedding present with beautiful wrapping Make sure you
visit the Lemon Fair or in case you can't go there...a place to call and
order your gifts." jdb
