We have a pet portrait she did of our sweet dog who had recently passed. It's a treasured piece in our home. We own a couple more pieces and some prints. I'd love to have one of her gorgeous larger works. Also have taken one of her watercolor classes. It was fun and gave me a good grasp of the basics.

Take this how you will but I have been to few colleges and this one ranks up there. I attended…read moreKaskaskia College in Centralia, IL, Lakeland College at Mattoon, IL, and SIUE. As far community colleges go this one is my favorite. I am still only enrolled in my first semster but genrally I am happy with my classes and the staff. Dr. John Squibb is a fantastic teacher as is Mr. Reynolds (sociology). I have been pleased so far at how easy they operate. KC liked to complicate EVERYTHING. Almost everyone of the staff have been eager to help (not including a couple bad advisors). I am excited to get started in the art department. This is the first community college I have attended that had a nice range of art classes available. The campus is okay. I do wish they offered healthier food choices. They do have a subway now but I can only take so much lunchmeat. I hope to complete my associates degree here and maybe even then some. Question: why are we called loggers?

Sew Unique is a small quilt shop in a small strip mall that sells Brother sewing machines and Koala…read moresewing cabinets. Yes, they also have quilting fabric, notions and sewing classes, but their bread and butter is sewing machines. I'm giving them a neutral rating because we left the highway to find this place and learned that the hours published on the website do not match the hours posted on a piece of paper in the window. So I have finally learned that it is best to call ahead (for this place, or any quilt shop, for that matter) to be sure the place will really be open when they say it will be. But hey, we ended up visiting Lincoln's Tomb in Oak Ridge Cemetery, so the diversion was not a total waste of time.

If you are going to take time off you will want to make sure that they are there. Their scheduled time to be open is about 10 - 4pm during 4 weekdays but even at that the doors may still be locked. If you are unemployed or retired you bay be content with this business otherwise you may not want to waist your time. They are even poor at responding to messages on their Facebook site.

You really had to look into the photos and the more you looked the deeper the meaning of the photo. The photos were extremely reasonable and priced where anyone could afford them. We purchased photo of the Lincoln's and there was a chucky doll that was placed with them. The kids loved it. We also purchased a couple shirts that appear to be well made and prices very affordable. There was a vendor that made art with old silverware that was so neat. The lady working was so nice and there was a vendor that had explained her placement of chucky in her photos and some other hidden things she placed in her art. We had a very nice conversation with the lady working. We loved the store and really look forward to visiting again.

Studio on 6th is a mix between several different things. A large portion of their shop (maybe the whole shop?) is an artists collective where they sell all sorts of wares from jewelry to clothing to bags and kitchen items. There is also an area in the back where they sell a small collection of vintage clothing. I got a great 1970's dress for about $20 and they also had a few adorable hand tea-dyed vintage slips and hand-dyed tie-dye items. I also purchased some amazing hand-made hammered copper earrings (for under $10!) as a gift and could have continued all day if I hadnt dragged myself out of the store. This place is really everything you could want out of a gift shop. Its filled with amazing, personal creations by local artists, its run by friendly, helpful people, there are nice little surprises like vintage clothing and hand-carved wooden kitchen items and you get the feeling that every time you go back there will be new, interesting things.
