I stop in whenever I need a really special Greeting Card. They have an impressive collection of Puzzles, as well as many one of a kind gifts for anyone on your list. The owner is super cool and very helpful :)

I've shopped at Shaker Traditions for a long time. Hard to believe that it's been about 28 years since I bought our dining room chairs, a beautiful, small tiger maple end table, and a small hutch from owner Judy T. who has owned and operated this shop for many years. Over the years, I have added a bench, a tall cabinet, a dining room chandelier, another small side table, several original pieces of art, mugs, jewelry, beeswax candles, Shaker boxes, light catchers, and even hand-carved, wooden salad tongs for either my own use or, often, to give as gifts. Just about everything in Judy's shop comes, to my knowledge, from artisans and small companies in the Midwest, and all is beautifully crafted and designed. I always look forward to visiting this shop. It's beautiful and restful and the staff is friendly and informed. But I have to pace myself; it's best, for me, to go at holiday time when I really do need a roster of gifts for friends and family. Otherwise I can get a bit carried away!

I go to this store three or four times a year to buy some of the most beautiful mugs I've ever seen. They also have gorgeous hand-painted tile clocks (small), lovely scarves, earrings, purses, and other unexpected nick-nacks, including things for kids. My five stars are for: the quality of the things they sell, the wonderful owner (who is always cheerful and kind), the locally sourced goods, the artistic and aesthetic beauty of everything, and (for me) the proximity to my home. It's well worth a trip.
