Don't forget to explore the back of the store!

These are just a few of the talented artists and makers featured in the back of Artisan Alley. While you're browsing your favorite displays up front, be sure to wander through the entire shop—you never know what unique handcrafted treasure you might discover!

From beautiful artwork and home décor to one-of-a-kind gifts and handmade creations, there's something waiting around every corner.

Thank you Staat's Bakery for not taking shortcuts.
We know this is The Best Granola on Planet Earth!!

Made another gallon & a half (or so) of caramel this morning. I’ve done this so often it’s second nature. Hundreds of times certainly; maybe into thousands at this point.
Each of those will be mixed into one batch of granola, which produces about 7-1/2lbs.
It’s a lot of work & expense, and I’m pretty sure I’m the only one dumb enough to do it this way, but I’ve been doing it for 12 years now and the reactions of people who taste it make me keep doing it. 🙂

We are so happy!! YAY!!

Another big milestone for the Franklin Street Revitalization Project! 🅿️🚧

The new & improved parking lot is expected to open next week.

Construction also continues along Franklin Street, with new sidewalks, granite curbing, and underground infrastructure moving forward. Every week, the vision becomes a little easier to see!

Thanks for sticking with us through the dust and detours — we promise it'll be worth it.

The best thing we can do right now? Keep shopping, dining, and supporting local. 🛍️✨
