When traveling, places like Griffin's Studio are EXACTLY what I'm looking for when it comes to shopping! A few colleagues and I had lunch at The Place (great restaurant next door) then wandered here. The moment I walked in, I knew I liked it. As a matter of fact, I would like this anywhere, but being a little gem in downtown Hopkinsville made it that much more special.
You can find jewelry, greeting cards, children's items, home items, some locally made items, art, and a variety of other items in this sweet store. The owner is apparently an artist, and I heard they also do painting classes in the studio as well. (The back portion of the space looked like a studio; the front space was more of a boutique/store.)
The employees were so friendly. I believe I was talking to the mother of Griffin, while Griffin herself was further in the back working. It seemed as though they would gift wrap gifts; though most of what I bought was for myself.
Without a doubt, make this a stop when you're in Hopkinsville! The strip it is on has some other neat looking stores (including an ice cream/candy shop), so you could even just do some window shopping if so desired.
P.S. My one hope/suggestion would be for more clarity on where/who some of the art/jewelry comes from. For example, I bought this awesome bracelet, and I'd love to know who made it. read more
