After lunch at Hood's the other day, a friend and I stopped by Brenda Hillard's Tender Touch gift shop in Ercildoun (next to the Triple Fresh Market). It's a delightful little shop, chock-full of artwork, gifts and antiques, most with country or equestrian themes, like a map of foxhunting venues in Aiken, S.C., and a replica of a folk-art sign from a long-ago Strasburg Road coffee shop. Upstairs are rooms devoted to riding clothes and boots and tack (some sold on consignment). And it's always nice to chat with Brenda, who is full of information about not only her wares but also her customers and local goings-on.
