Tallulahs is one of the crown jewels, in the retail community in Columbia. Tallulahs is a kitchen…read morespecialty shop, that caters to those of us who have a passion for cooking and entertaining. I cannot visit Columbia, without stopping by and buying several items to take home. This delightful little shop is located in the heart of downtown, on Broadway. It offers practical and unique gadgets. Aprons that make a baker look like a fashionista. They also offer, professional chef quality knives. Also, with the upcoming holidays, you can find table settings, serving pieces, that will make your table an elegant showpiece. The ladies who staff the store, are a delight. They are always excited to assist you and really love it when you share stories of your purchases. My most recent purchase, a large tea towel called, Bartenders Guide, is going to be framed. When I told the owner what I going to do, she asked me to send her a pic when it was completed. She was almost as excited as I was to find this towel and to do something creative with it. If you like to entertain, you gotta shop at Tallulahs. I guarantee you will not be able to walk out empty handed.

I've never done a 'paint and wine' thing before, but I had a blast! Canvas on Broadway supplies the necessary paint tools, paint, canvas, easel, aprons, and an instructor to create the themed painting. Beer and wine are available for what I'd consider reasonable prices. The music mix was a total great--the genre varied and everyone was having a good time. I started to follow along, but then went off and painted my own thing, and the instructor was encouraging and kind about it. Another woman would walk around and pick up dirty brushes out of the water jar and drop off fresh brushes. Both were very friendly, so service gets an A! The venue itself is fantastic. Big, open space, plenty of places to sit and hang your personal belongings, good elbow room, all around really great. I even noticed there's a sectioned off private area that will seat a decent sized party for a private event, which was pretty cool! If you ever want to venture out and try one of these "paint and wine" places, The Canvas on Broadway was a great first!

This is a really cool building which houses artists studios. It also opens to the public…read morefrequently to have receptions and showcase its artists' work. The building is somewhat industrial-looking, like a warehouse/small factory converted into art studios. The mastermind behind this conversion, a thin, charming gray-haired man with glasses (I can't remember his name!) is an artist himself and crafted the enormous sliding doors to each artist's studio. Each door is custom, unique and impressive. It utilizes ordinary and construction materials in sort of a flat, yet dimensional sculpture. The lighting is professional. The building's exterior has few opaque walls, and uses tinted windows from floor to ceiling in most cases. The artists featured here are all either aspiring or actual professional artists. I find most of them to be very talented. The famous MIssouri water-colorist Paul Jackson maintains a space here. Come here on a weekend during the art crawls, or artrageous friday's or whenever this place opens its doors. There's usually free wine and cheese and you can talk to the artists (and maybe buy their work!).

Love this beautiful little store in the Brick District, so many unique and special gifts…read more Great selection of cheese ball mixes, hot dip mixes, pepper jellies, spice mixes, and amazing salsas (the peach salsa is so good!). Much of this stuff is made in Missouri. Smockingbird's also has an impressive collection of fashion jewelry items, gift soaps, glassware and serving ware. And they even have a small selection of stylish clothing for women. Smockingbird's is a wonderful store with an amazing inventory of unique and eclectic gifts. We can always find special treasures here for ourselves and for gift giving. Great personal service, too!

I loved the variety of products here, and you truly can find a gift for most occasions. They have bath bombs, dip mixes, jewelry and everything in between. I bought a Beatles notepad that I can't wait to give to my friend for her birthday. It is also really cute that they handwrite your receipts. Smockingbird's is definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!

Well, when it came time that I needed to do some digging around for local Missouri lore related to square dancing, I did a little checking on their website and as Emeril says, BAM!, they cooked up exactly what I needed. The best part was, it was free. I mean, I guess my taxes are paying for it, but the folks who work there are really helpful, they actually seem like they want to assist me, and they had all this equipment for me to use when I needed to listen to some cassette tapes and even some reel-to-reel audio. Of course, there were some weird things I had to get used to. No pens. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zed. But I could carry around electromagnets, no problem? Anyhow, that being said, I had to get used to other archivist rules (keep everything that was in a folder, actually keep it in the folder). But since they deal with one-of-a-kind stuff, and they don't want to lose anything, this makes sense. I wish I had a reason to delve into their archives earlier, now this place is on my list whenever I have any inkling to learn something about Missouri history.
