New Friends with New Shops

I have made some new friends the past few years and two of them have new shops that opened this week. These two shops could not be more different, one has a very vintage, eclectic feel to it and the other has a very contemporary bright gallery one. They are very alike in that they carry unique goods & handmade artisan items and are two of the nicest people you could ever meet. I hope that if you are ever in the area of either of them you stop in and say hello!

Let me introduce you...

Something for every taste and the good feeling that you are supporting local artists and some of the most thoughtful small business people around town.

My hope is that these two who are following their dreams and visions are very successful for many years to come!

Congrats & Cheers to them both!
