Great Local Shop!
Great local artwork, books and history! Stopped by here while on a day trip with a friend. We both left with armloads of stuff! Friendly staff, tons of local artists represented here and if you take the time to browse some of the books, there is loads of cultural and regional history. Everything is very reasonably priced, from the quilts to the pottery and books. There are also pottery, painting and other classes that you can take when available on site. If you're in the area, don't miss taking a few minutes (or an hour) to support the locals, and whatever you do, don't leave without a Priester's Pecan Pie!

Lovely Crafts for Everyone
Original crafts - artwork, jewelry, etc. Loved walking around viewing original pieces. All are for sale; price is set by the artists. But no pressure, volunteers are knowledgeable of what is there and glad to share their history. A very welcoming place. Stop by and be impressed.
