I love Cardinal Gift Shop. The owner, Chelsea Cardinal, has something very special here. It's a great place to buy gifts, as is evidenced by the name. But it's also a space that highlights artists doing unique and beautiful things (the owner included. She makes many of the things in the shop. Hard to understand someone being good at making so many types of things).
It's also a community space; they have regular art classes. I've seen flyers for mini quilting, paper marbling, knitting, and all types of other craft arts. The prices are not outrageous for items that are all handmade. It's worth its own special trip, even if you're not local. read more
