Love a Local Business Gratitude 4 U

A month ago a friend nominated us in the “Love A Local Business” contest. (If you haven’t already voted you can do that here.) We were honored and thought we’d give it a try. What a month! Daily we’ve seen comments pour in full of love and support from our local community. And while it is a national contest and we may not win the big prize – we won something more dear to our hearts – all of your kind words.

HUNDREDS of you have taken the time to not only click your vote but to write a little comment about how you appreciate Handmade Galleries as a store, as a part of the community, as artists, as people… There’s no need for me to go on – I’ll just share what YOU wrote.

Thank you all for your support and your love. Please know that we have gratitude for you beyond what mere words can ever express.

I absolutely adore this store. There’s a wide variety of incredibly talented artistans & crafters with wares of every kind. THE best place to find a unique, thoughtful gift for a friend, family member or loved one. Love the communal, friendly vibe.

It is always exciting to enter this store. The inventory is ever-changing and the physical environment is constantly improving. Staff is pleasant and helpful and seem to enjoy their work. This is a well-run business and deserves winning. A+ vote.

This is the *only* place I go to buy a gift. It’s local, it’s cool, unique, creative and very friendly! There’s something special for everybody! Lovely place, lovely products, lovely people.

With the gentrification of businesses everywhere it is wonderful to have a store that promotes individual artists within one location. I have to say this is one of my favor shopping spots. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable.
