Sassy cards, but also normal ones, jewelry, (which I bought a trilobite necklace) so many products to list, but fun all around.

Not only can you find unique artisan gifts such as jewelry, scarves, candles, dishes, books, handbags, and soaps, they also offer complimentary gift wrapping. Framing is the other focus at Lake Street Gallery. We're more than satisfied with the framing of our souvenir vacation prints and personal documents, such as diplomas and craft-brew awards. Although gifts may seem pricey to some, it's worth the price to shop local and support regional artists.

It was by chance that I wandered down her street and I stayed, talking to her and looking at everything she had painted in the two room studio. She is an abstract artist. I was struck by one of her large acrylics, she told me the story behind its creation and I finally bought it, my first original acrylic! Her work has changed over the years, as do the style or subject matter of most good painters, but I enjoy her eye for color and shape.
