LOVED this place!! I was on a road trip alone, so when I saw a little sign for an artisan shop and no one to stop me I just whipped around and parked immediately. I’m genuinely so glad I did, this is the absolute cutest place ever!

All over the building they have the most unique pieces in pretty cabinetry and on tables, art and mirrors on the walls, crystal sets in baskets on shelves, totally perfect. They even have a cafe too, but I can’t speak on it past how adorable it was. I actually got so distracted with everything in the store that I straight up forgot to look at food🥲 The woman at the counter (and please forgive me if you’re reading this for forgetting your name, I met too many shop employees on my trip I’m truly sorry!💕) was so fun and kind, and knowledgeable about anything I picked up. I ended up getting some handmade earrings and crystals, next time I make this trip I’m 100% going back partially because I’m also regretting not getting a candle. The person who made the candles has one of the best balsam scents ever and I’ve compared way too many brands’ balsam candles since it’s a favorite. But anyway I felt really welcome honestly, not just a cliche kind of customer service welcome but she spoke to me and everyone else who came in like she was an old friend. With the welcoming atmosphere, so much to look at, and the cafe I could definitely see myself spending too long in there again.

Thank you so so much for letting me look around your store, and I can’t wait to check out the cafe and new products...

Unpleasant experience: small place. On picking up a bird figure, I dropped it. It wasn't brass but gold colored pottery. Dropping it broke a foot so I said to the clerk right at my elbow, guess I just bought this and smiled. When I got to the checkout there was no one there but same clerk bustled up. She then proceeded to lecture about breakage and their policy. As I had already acknowledged that I had broken it and was buying it,i I didn't see the necessity of the lengthy public lecture. I was there actually looking for a half table. Oh yes, she says they get them all the time and something about deliveries, I asked when they were made. She seemed to think that was a highly inappropriate question. All comments from this clerk were made in a highly depreciating tone as if I were mentally deficient. She was a blondish older woman. I will certainly never go in there again. Not the way to...

Girrrrrl this place CUUUUTE! Several artisans have products on display for sale. There's decor, crafts, jewelry, furniture, dishes, sweets etc. The owner has it organized beautifully. Feels like a boutique in all the right ways. Small but mighty! Limited hours check...
