There's a wide range of items and prices, including plenty under $20 (I fell hard for the "Mommy I picked you some flowers" ceramic vases, which look perfect for displaying flowers of different heights and sizes). There are also paintings, blown glass objects, jewelry, wooden items, and beautiful cards, just to name some of the offerings. I walked in on a whim, and walked out with gifts for my mom, grandma and best friend! The volunteer was very friendly, and I didn't feel any pressure whatsoever to buy things; it would have been perfectly comfortable to stroll around the gallery and admire the art, and then carry on my way. If you're passing through the area, don't miss this spot!
