This places sells many house hold decorative items (painted ceramics, dishes, sculptural figures) a lot of it is pretty cute and I believe it is all handmade by the owner of this store. There is a small cafe attached to the store but it has very limited hours and I have never been while it was open. The best part of all is that they have a large selection of unpainted ceramics that you can paint your self right there!!! You only have to pay for the piece of blank ceramic that you would like to paint and most of them are very fairly priced ($5-$25 depending on size). The paint is free, glazing and firing is free. (glazing and firing takes one day so you will have to pick up your item the following day) The room that is designated for painting is very large and has lots of table space so it is great for large or small parties. The owner is so sweet, plays music for you, and makes you feel right at home. I went here for my birthday and my friends and I all had a blast. We made vases, coffee mugs, candy dishes, plates.... They have anything you can think of!
