The Wash House is an upscale gift shop located in the heart of the Iowa Great Lakes area. I love…read moreto browse all three floors and really take my time shopping. They have all kinds of unique and interesting items, plus the products are usually displayed in a pleasing manner. With no retail neighbors or walk-by traffic, Donna and Ann Muilenburg know their gift shop is a destination for their customers. Parking is not a problem for customers and the Wash House has a big farmers porch that Donna and Ann use like a display window and expanded selling space in their busy season. In the summer months, the porch is stocked with fresh plants, decorated with garden decor and sometimes flags that flow in the wind to catch the eye of customers as they drive by. In the early Fall, the porch can be found filled with pumpkins, gords and fun outdoor decor. Like myself, most Wash House customers have been shopping there for years. They know they can always find just the right gift for most occasions when a quality gift is called for. Prices range from moderate up, depending on the item.

Gayle and I are big fans of the NW Iowa art scene. Whether it be Hank Hall (formally of Art on 16th…read morein Spirit Lake), Dan Ruff, Perry Polson, or Jesse Bogenrief (just down the street), the artistic creativity is impressive and at very reasonable prices. Arts on Grand is a spacious shop and gallery that features some of the above artists and more. They're also part of the annual Artisan Road Trip that allows one to travel the Iowa back roads in search of artistic treasure. Gayle and I wander in when we're in town each summer, and usually come out with a work of art that's both stunning and something we don't have any room at home to display. But we usually figure that out later.

Amazing treasure for the creative spirit!!!!…read more I love, love, love this place. They staff is passionate about their work and it shows.

I believe we were told this is a non-profit and we found a good selection of native-made and native culture items to include pipes made by the makers demonstrating their craft at the monument.

I have had the WORST experience with this Hobby Lobby in the framing dept…read more I had a print that I wanted a frame for so I took it to Spencer's Hobby Lobby. I was told they couldn't put a frame on it because it was a 1/4 off and unless they put new stretching bars on it, they'd be unable to frame it. I hesitated because of the cost but decided to go ahead with that. They said it would take a couple of weeks, after a couple of weeks I received a call that they ordered the wrong size stretching bars and would need to reorder so now it's going to take another couple of weeks. A week later the store flooded. (Of course there was nothing they could do about that which I totally understand). However, if they had gotten the correct stretching bars to begin with this wouldn't have been a problem. We called to ask what was going to happen to our print and they said they'd ship it to another location and have it taken care of there. I was fine with that. After another couple of weeks, I called to see if it had been sent and they told me that I just needed to come and pick it up. I did. I live 45 minutes away from this store and an hour and a half away from the next nearest store so I hadn't had a chance to get it anywhere. Once Spencer's store was up and running I called to see if I could bring it back and they said yes. They ordered the stretching bars and put them on and I went to pick out a frame. They said it would be another couple of weeks. Three weeks later I called on a Thursday to see what was going on with the print and the same gentleman asked if I had gotten his message earlier the previous week. (I looked through my call log and there were NO calls from their store and clearly no message.) He said, "we just need to know what you want us to put on the back to hang it with?" I asked his advice because that's his forte. He advised a double wire. He said it could be done by that afternoon and I told him I couldn't be there that day but could be there by the weekend. Saturday, we go to pick up our frame. $421 for the frame and stretching bars. I get it home and get it ready to hang, take the plastic off..... there is NOTHING on the back. Are you kidding me?????? I'm furious! This is absolutely unacceptable and ridiculous! Update, I took the print to another store location. I was told that the guy from the Hobby Lobby in Spencer had done everything wrong! She took everything off and started over. Alas my print is ready to hang on the wall.
