where
We love being in Antique Alley. Come see us! The address is officially 92 W Franklin, but know that several shops have the same address! The easiest way to find us it to turn west onto Franklin Street from Van Buren (between the Bartley House Coffee & Donuts and The Toy Chest), and when you reach Honeysuckle Lane, you will see a post pointing you to the shops, we are tucked behind the Ferguson House next to Brown County Pottery.

brown county fiber arts school
We began our Brown County Fiber Arts School in August 2021, with a great weekend event! The upcoming class list is here!
we stand with Ukraine
As many of you know we lived in Ukraine for a few years. We have many ties and friends there, and we are devastated by what is happening. We are collecting donations at the shop and have already donated over 3000 to Nazarene Compassionate Ministries, Global Care Force and other needs presented by a friend in the army. We know these companies and people, and trust that 100% of the monies will go to assist the people of Ukraine. We also know those on the ground serving. We are offering a blue and yellow bracelet for a $10.00 donation, a limited edition print, “Moon Over Mariupol” by Brown County Artist Jeff Hagan for a $50.00 donation. These items are available in our online store as well–100% of purchase price is donated to NCM. If you are looking for a place to donate, I encourage you to donate through one of these organizations!
