Okay, we’re getting close to the end of this tour of a half dozen local shops for you to stop at during this hollerday season. This week’s shop was easy to pick…
I just looked at my facecrack page and saw this comment and thought, “Okay, I’ll go there.”
Sometimes you don’t want to overthink things and today is one of those days! Ho, ho and ho, let’s go!
A Small Wonder Gift Shop is located right here in the Contemporary Arts Center on Water Street in downtown Peoria.
You go through two doors and then take the elevator up to 3R and…
Boom! Here we are at A Small Wonder Gift Shop. It’s not really that small in here and there’s a lot of cool items on display in here, let’s take a look around!
Wow, there’s unique jewelry art, cards and clothing on display and for sale in here.
Everything is made by local artists, so you’re truly shopping local when you buy a gift in here.
These are truly one-of-a-kind gifts and items that support our local art community when you buy them.
This cool gift shop is open until December 19th, so stop by before then to pick up some cool local art made right here in Central Illinois!
I met William Butler, who’s the Executive Director of the Contemporary Art Center. He said they’ve had a great year here and encouraged everyone to stop by and check out this unique gift shop.
I made a purchase and we’re back at The MBIP World Headquarters to unveil it!
I chose this Assorted Curiosity Handbag created by Lucy Davies. I love the dog on the front and the message on the back of the bag!
I didn’t think there would be anything inside of it, so I was pleasantly surprised to find more words and art when I opened it up!
There’s some random clippings on one side and I love the message on the other side of the bag: “Try to be the person your dog thinks you are.” Ha! Nice! I don’t have a dog, but I know someone who does, so I’ll give this as a gift to that person!
Stop by A Small Wonder Gift Shop and buy some local art to support our wonderful Central Illinois art community this holiday season!
