Less than two years later a spot appeared right in the middle of our peninsula. We called Bob at Lee's and we had a customer service visit on the same day.

The other half of the building looked to be a workshop for building the furniture. Everything was fine until I asked the question, "I am looking for a butcher block top for my kitchen island." The answer was "Well. Do you need the island too?" I told her that I just needed the top. "No we don't have a top. Don't really know where to get one", she said. It seemed to me that they wanted to make the whole island and would have gladly found a butcher block top for it. I went into the store because it's not a chain store and they made furniture. I would not have minded paying a little more to support a local business. Well, off to the next store.

He was clearly focused on fixing the problem. He gave me a worst case scenario and how much he thought it would cost to fix it (in which case, he said, he didn't think it would be worth fixing), but he also gave me several other possibilities, some of which I could do myself. This was all the more helpful since they're pretty busy at the moment and wouldn't be able to come to the house until next week (unless it was an emergency). Really impressive service. We may still need to replace the appliance, in which case, I'll ask these folks to do the work.

The prices are reasonable for the quality of work. This store is run by a non-profit artist organization, The Pillar Group. There's another similar shop at College Mall in Bloomington, where Victoria's Secret once stood past Target. The art is diverse and has a local and Indiana theme to it. While most jewelry is focused towards women, there are a few pieces of men's gear. It has the feel of a gift shop, and indeed there are greeting cards, and wrapping available for purchases. It's a very wide variety of handmade art, and it's all well-presented. I'm embarrassed how much I've purchased here; the values are pretty good for what I look for. Parking is downtown-crappy, but the store is bright and easy to shop.

Another benefit of getting out to explore your community is finding a business you didn't know was there and you are pleasantly surprised by what you find. Kind of like finding a hidden treasure! My wife was shopping next door inside Tivoli Fashions in the Fountain Square Mall just south of the county courthouse in Bloomington. Since the shopping she was doing had nothing to do with me, I wandered out into the mall and found By Hand Gallery just across the hallway. If you enjoy looking at hand crafted items like wall hangings, ceramics, and small items that can be gifts for either your friends or for yourself. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted and asked if I needed any assistance. Even when I explained that I only stopped in to pass time while my wife shopped next door, he said he understood and to feel free to browse and ask questions. I was feeling welcomed, not watched or like I was wasting his time. That's good business. I really enjoyed looking over the items. I don't do a lot of decorating in our home, but I did see things here that I thought would look nice. I didn't make any purchases at this time, but the items I looked at seemed of good quality and worth considering coming back for. Review #3911

You might call my wife the "Goodwill Wife." Her favorite place to go on the weekends or even thru…read morethe week is Goodwill. If we are travelling we look for Goodwill stores along the way to check them out. I must admit she has acquired several treasures among the numerous other items she brings home. The local Goodwill in Martinsville is her go to store for grandchildren clothing, furniture, glassware and dishes. Plus she likes country folk art so pictures, miscellaneous things to hang up in the laundry room, bathroom, anywhere basically. She loves finding things she loves at great prices. She recently found me a lighted Man Cave sign that looks great hanging in my garage. This Goodwill is cleaner and better arranged than most we have been in and she has been in plenty. They used to have sales the first Saturday of the month where everything was 50% off. While Covid stopped those, the stores still have sales everything using a color code on the tags. For example, if the color is blue, anything with a blue tag is 50% off. And holidays often include 15% off plus you can get a 10% senior discount everyday. My wife says you have to go on a regular basis to catch the best deals. Furniture goes very quickly so if you see something you want, out it into your basket or tell a cashier you want it and they will slap a "sold" tag on it until you're ready to leave; don't wait. She has been in the store and just continued to shop thinking that table would still be there and wouldn't you know it, someone picked it up and that was that. Some people are funny about wearing used clothing. Not my wife and granddaughter (yet). Yes she will tell you there is some junk and some clothes that shouldn't be put out due to stains, tears etc, but she has found name brand clothes for all of our 10 grandchildren. Her daughter is always looking for long skirts especially jean ones. This is where she has found most of them and all the name brands. She finds things for herself too and at a fraction of what they would cost new. For those who enjoy good books, they have plenty of options there as well. And CD's and DVD's. You need to plug electrical stuff in before you buy it to ensure it works. Plenty of lamps and shades most of the time. If someone is just starting out in life with their first house or apartment, shopping here will get you a good start without breaking the bank. My wife isn't one of those looking to find something rare and make a million bucks. I guess people do find such things. But she is just happy when she finds a new top for less than $5 or a Jean skirt for her daughter for under $5. She may not find something every time you go and that's okay. She will try again in a couple days. They do have clean restrooms at this store. They also have four fitting rooms that say closed but you just have to ask them to unlock one of them for you. There is plenty of free parking.
