When deciding which products to display for sale at the gift shop, we use a couple of simple criteria--the most important being: Does it make us smile? If it does, then we ask: is it unique and well made? If an item passes the test, we bring it back to the gift shop, so that it can make you smile too. Some of the fabulous finds that passed our rigorous testing, and are now waiting for you to discover them, include:

Delightful Greeting Cards for Every Occasion--our line of greetings cards is created by a Chicago native who, in addition to being a great artist, is absolutely hilarious! We can’t stop laughing! We have a greeting card for every occasion--”Merry Christmas!”, “Happy Birthday!”, “I Love You More Than Avocados!” Seriously. Come check them out, they will make your day.

Unusual Teapots--these aren’t your regular old teapots--some of them are intricately decorated with gorgeous flowers and butterflies, while others are just plain fun, shaped like crazy colorful roosters and funky cats. Whichever style calls out to you, these teapots are guaranteed to breathe some life into teatime!

Mini Terrariums--A miniature terrarium can look like a small glass globe that hangs from the ceiling, or a gorgeous glass enclosure set on real driftwood. Air plants are perfect for these terrariums, because they don’t need soil, and they love the humidity that gets trapped in the enclosure. Really though, some of these terrariums are a work of art, and they look great even empty!

Handmade Macrame Plant Hangers--locally made macrame plant hangers come in a variety of colors, sizes and styles, and are an attractive solution to displaying your houseplants without using up tablespace. 

Funny Flasks, Tumblers, Travel Mugs--these made us giggle, and they keep our beveridges hot or cold while we are on the go.

Decorative Pillows--for both indoors and outdoors, decorative pillows can add a splash of color and a touch of style to a patio set or recliner. We have a selection of patterns. Some of them even have LED lights embedded in the pillow, to add a little extra sparkle!
