Jane & Jen had the best time painting Clark Tower this weekend with Christine Hilbert ! 🎨🖌🖼

Big thanks to our support crew for holding down the fort so we could go do something fun together. ❤️ We both picked up painting again just this year and are having so much fun with a new creative hobby!

If you are looking for a fun creative group to join, check out the Winterset Art Center and their classes and open studio times - you may see us at the Wednesday night studio or at class!

Bravo Friends of Winterset Parks & Recreation & Winterset Parks & Recreation on the Clark Tower birthday celebration - it was such a great event! Who else went and had fun?

Now, we're back to treasure hunting and getting the shop in ship shape for this week.

Open Wednesday-Saturday, come say hello!

Two exciting things happening Saturday, just outside our doors on the historic courthouse square.

Morning 🌞 Madison County Farmers Market 8-noon.
Evening 🌛 Central Iowa Auto car show 4-7pm

Vintage car illustrations fresh in the frame-your-own bin, and we're stocked up on vases for your farmer's market flowers! 🌼 We love an unconventional flower vase.

Don't forget that Saturday is also the Clark Tower birthday celebration, and there's of course lots of other things happening around town.

Follow Winterset Retail District & The Citizen for the latest!

The Cottage is open 9-4:30 Saturday but we usually stay open a little later for car show. Pop in and say hi!

Do you love decorating with special art that tells a story? 🖼

Sometimes you just need something fun and small to hang near a lightswitch or on a skinny little wall.

Come check out our frame-your-own suitcase! Each piece is just $2 and ready to pop into a frame.

Some of these are currently in the shop and some are past favorites (Jen kept the Cricket, iykyk). 🦗

When I tell you we have BINS *FULL* of material... just holler if you are looking for something specific!

✨️OR - Better yet - Would anyone be interested in a casual art night at the shop?✨️ Jen has been tossing this idea around.

Show up with some frames (or not!) and dig through our bins and books for your own artwork. Maybe stay and work on a collage with vintage illustrations?

Stay tuned for details and gather your frames because we're making this happen! 🤗

🍅🍅Today, Saturday, is Farmer's Market day! The shop is open 9-4:30 and we've got lots of treasures to discover.
