We were just on a day trip to LaGrange Ky and happened into a thrift store, when a soft voice said, "do you want to come upstairs?" Always up for a challenge, of course I said SURE!! Little did we know there is an art studio on the second floor of the building.
I had just had knee replacement surgery 8 weeks earlier and it was well worth the climbing of the stairs. Karen was welcoming and full of interesting information.
