For the novice…read moreart gallery visitor who wants an accessible place to check out a variety of works, this is one of the first places I'd recommend. It's been a while since I've been in but I first and foremost appreciated the variety of incredible works from local artists. This is the kind of place you go to find that super unique conversation, statement or accent piece to highlight your home. I've seen everything from portraits to pastoral settings on display here. Most importantly, this is one of those many small businesses we should all go out of the way to support during tough economic times like these (written during the time of COVID). I hope that anyone who is wandering Sutter Creek or in the area stops in to check this gallery out!

I enjoy visiting museums, art galleries and art studios. I am in awe when I view many of the amazing works created by the artists. Thankfully, Murphys has its share of art galleries where one can go to appreciate a variety of creations. The newest one to open is Independent. The store is a working studio for the owner. It is also a retail location where customers can purchase paintings, woodwork, children's clothing, soy candles, ceramics and glass work. Most of the art is produced locally. Independent also carries art supplies so you can let your creativity flow. I feel it is so important to support our creative artists. They create beautiful pieces of art in so many forms for us to enjoy. So, if you ever have one of those days when you can't think of anything to do, go visit an art gallery and support the artists. Happy viewing!

They sell just about any hippie or new age item you could want: books, reference books, spellbooks, tarot cards, incense, incense holders, sage smudge sticks, candles, crystals, wands, singing bowls, deity figurines, totem animal statues, prayer flags, and embossed velvet bags to hold all the pretties in. They even have a "reader" (which I presume is of the tarot card or palm variety) in the shop on most weekends. But you don't need to be a earth magic practioner or wood nymph to enjoy On Purpose's wares. They also have plenty of gifts, cards, art, gorgrous jewelry and home & garden decor. The friendly staff will be happy to help you find whatever you're looking for.

The caliber of time, talent and dedication that it has taken to create this detailed glimpse into the past is something to be admired, indeed. I remember when Baker Street West was just the upstairs to a really cool bookstore. Now it has been transformed completely. The bar doesn't serve alcohol yet, but there are soft drinks and pastries to enjoy. There is a tea shoppe, an apothecary and of course, Mr. Sherlock Holmes' personal study (complete with bear skin rug). It's so fun just to walk around the rooms and take it all in.
