Well, you don't see this every day: An art gallery in a mall…read more The Provo Towne Centre mall generously donated one of their spaces (and quite an ample space) to ARTcetera, a display space showing off art for local students from the Provo City School District. They do a great job of putting in art from different age groups, from elementary schoolers to high school seniors. It's very dynamic and colorful with collages and paintings and I was surprising at the variety of styles ... quite sophisticated for high schoolers! There are also some cool educational displays, from How to Print a Linocut to murals. I was impressed by the mini exhibitions with bios of the artists. Heck, I was impressed by everything. From what I learned (via the director, James Rees), they are open to ideas and artists, so anyone and any group in the community may be showing their work at ARTcetera in the future. They also have art classes (many on Saturday, especially in the summer), so you may want to contact them for more information. When you add this to the Neighborhood Art Center, the mall is quite the place for the young and creative. It's a great addition to the mall. And to the community.

The BYU Museum of Art on campus was a really fantastic surprise and an easy highlight of my visit…read more I could not believe it was free given how spectacular many of the works on display were. The exhibitions were thoughtfully arranged, easy to follow, and paired with helpful descriptions that actually made me want to slow down and read them. There were plenty of students around to answer questions, and everyone I interacted with was friendly and knowledgeable. It ended up being a wonderful stop on my trip and one I would happily recommend to anyone visiting the area.

It's peaceful and quiet with just the right balance of inventory to provide variety while not being overwhelming. The folks who run the store are kind and welcoming.

Meadows Crystals is an amazing crystal & metaphysical shop right on Lehi Main Street…read more The shop is a cute restored historical home, and the interior is beautifully decorated and very well set up/organized. The interior displays, decorations, and offerings are changed almost daily. Immediately upon entrance I was greeted by the nicest employee who was more than happy to accommodate all my questions and show me around. The entire interior is decorated with stunning crystal displays, metaphysical items, and plants that are all for sale. The offerings range through the entire alphabet A-Z in crystals, rocks, and gems. There are large display pieces all the way down to mini figurines, towers, bowls, dishes, and much more. Meadow, who owns the shop is frequently there to help guests and customers. She is a jeweler herself and makes the most beautifully wrapped necklaces, rings, and gem bracelets. You can tap to pay, pay by card, cash or use venmo. You can sign up for a rewards system $1 = 1pt which adds up pretty quickly given a majority of items are priced at market rate or slightly higher. The shops instagram page is kept up to date and is very educational, showing the large variety of products available, not to mention very aesthetically pleasing. frequently meadow, the owner, does an Instagram live and allows for bidding on products. It's first come first serve and you must pay within 24 hours. However the products offered are exceptional and resizing is available for any Jordan pieces. I may not be as into Crystal shops as the next person, but I can definitely appreciate when someone has mastered their craft. Meadow you have done a fantastic job! Thank you for sharing your gifts, talents, and knowledge with us!

Such a cute shop! My GPS had a hard time finding the exact location, but we eventually made it!…read more It was do cute when you walk in as they have a bunch if rock puns and the cutest displays. We had so much fun walking around and letting our kids pick out their own crystals. One of the workers answered all of my toddler's "what's that?" Questions and walked around the store with them showing them all of the cool things in the store. The best part was how excited the worker was about everything and showing that it really was something he seemed passionate about, which made it even more interesting. If you get a text receipt, it has pictures of the type of items you purchased which was really cool if you have a bad memory and buy a bunch of stones. Can't wait to go back and see what other cool things they have!

I, like many people during the pandemic, have really gone on a houseplant spree. I want to be a…read morebaby and mention that I was into them long before it was cool, but admittedly, have ramped up my hobby, and am currently 100+ plants in, on the way to turning my entire house into a jungle. For the last few months, I have heard mention of Planted Earth Floral from various members of a plant group in which I participate. The "Floral" really throws you off, as I would assume they are a florist, rather than a mostly-antiques-with-a-side-of-houseplants-shop. When I heard they had some long sought String of Turtles in stock, I made the drive down to Orem. They are located right off State Street, in a beautiful Victorian brick house. The facade is cluttered with décor: signage, furniture, garden statues, and other large decorations. The interior arrangement of goods matches that, but it is in the charming way where you never quite know what you will discover. When I walked in, a gentleman was at the front desk looking at his phone. He looked at me, more than once, but without a smile or any sort of greeting. Thus, it felt awkward looking at the goodies in that immediate area (and there was a doozy of a jewelry collection). I wandered through the rest of the store noting lots of great stuff: Victorian fur coats (and plenty of other vintage clothing), candy colored depression glass, beautiful pottery, prints, and all the staples one would hope to find, but I was on a mission, and only gave it a cursory glance. Plants are housed in a little greenhouse, and it is not a particularly large area, but they have some real treasures! Many common plants, but plenty that feel more special, like the aforementioned String of Turtles, Prince of Orange and Birkin Philodendrons, several varieties of Alocasias (even trendy Black Velvet!), Calatheas, etc. Many sizes, in hanging and standard pots, macramé hangers, etc. I was very pleased, and tempted by many, but only have so much space, so forced myself to stick with the plant for which I visited. Prices are comparable to other area nurseries, and I think the same could be said for their antiques. When I paid for my purchase, the same gentleman who had been at the front when I arrived assisted me, and he was as nice as could be! He shared care tips for my baby, and told me about the little tree frog they have living in their terrarium. So don't be put off if your encounter initially feels unfriendly. So far, my SOT is living the good life in a terrarium I crafted at the store owner's recommendation, and he seems happy as can be. Planted Earth is an excellent option for a lesser-known nursery that just might surprise you with your wish list plant.
