Our friend Gail Ristow makes the most gorgeous meditation beads on the planet. She's also into labyrinths! Her site is worth checking into at www.BeadHereNow.net. Jennifer Ellison is an amazing young woman who started her own floral business, Chelsea Village Flowers, in downtown Chelsea, when she was in her early twenties. She celebrated 5 years in business in 2008. Take a look at her designs and you'll see part of the reason for her success. Have a conversation with her and you'll see the rest of the reason. This is the business that started it all for us. If you're interested in the highest quality custom stained glass in the land, you've found it here. Before Bill started his slot machine business, he made his living solely as a stained glass artisan. The Irish Perennial Rescue Society is a mysterious organization with ancient roots. We are proud to be the Jackson County chairs. Jack Spack is a poet, a musician, and an artist. He's also a really good friend. His sometimes dark, quirky art may be found at Jack Spack Jr. - definitely worth a look! Michelle Massey Barnes is one talented young woman. In addition to being like a daughter to Marsi, she's her yoga instructor. She's also a doula and a photographer. Her photographs of wildlife are incredible, and she has now branched out to make portraits of your own little wild ones - take a look at her site and gaze in awe. One of our passionate pastimes is morel mushroom hunting in the spring. Some say we go a little overboard. This page describes the madness... A great group of people, One World One Family strives to bring diversity and inclusivity to Chelsea. The Painted Trout is our friend Lauren's brainchild. She shares a passion for fly-fishing and beautiful things. She's also Jack Spack's spouse. Artisan Goods for Anglers includes t-shirts, scarves, aprons, bandanas...and more! The amazing annual Riverfolk Festival of Music and Art is held in August in Manchester, Michigan. Too cool for school, Thayrone broadcasts his Bone Conduction Music Show over the radio airwaves. We are proud sponsors and best buds. A master craftsman, Timothy Moore creates tools for the serious bookbinder at Timothy Moore Tools at his shop in rural Concord, Michigan. Tracy Gallup's Fine Art Dolls are sought by collectors all over the world. She also illustrated Peggy Munsterberg's children's book, The Beastly Banquet, wrote and illustrated King Cat, and is now publishing more books! Look for her Crazy Little Series in bookstores. At Darwin's we work hard, but we play hard, too. We're home to a croquet league, the Waterloo Croquet Club. Friends and family gather often to enjoy the game.
