Jennifer and Matt, the owners, are pure delights and let me wander around with my camera to my heart's content, and didn't even call me on the carpet when I jabbered their ears off 15 minutes past closing (I forgot it was Sunday and didn't realize my transgression until I got home). What an awesome and much needed addition to downtown Lawrence -- their store gives a whole new meaning to the Etsy concept "shop local."♥

It looks beautiful! So will you be selling your cards there? I wish them loads of success.. the country needs more of these shops... it's my dream to open up a store like this, with a bit of vintage thrown in just cuz I love vintage! hugs xo
I feel a mini road trip coming on...Lawrence is just the best little place in the whole world.
Cute, cute, cute! I had no idea we had such a place; can't wait to check it out!
i am positively green with envy!
Fabulous!! Oh, how I wish we were headed back to Lawrence this summer :s (sigh) Enjoy!!
WOW! Looks spectacular, I hope they get the support they deserve! Thanks so much for letting us see the amazing stuff they have.
FABULOUS post!!! I love this idea! What an awesome job they did with setting up the place...it's gorgeous...and I want it ALL! Wait...maybe I'll wait til your stuff gets there! Thank you so much for sharing! Let's hope people shop LOCAL!
What a cool place! I sure hope it makes it. Then maybe they can open a second location in Dallas, TX. ;)

:)
Wow! That is so great! If I lived closer, I would be there today!!! Good luck to the owner and congrats to all involved.

it seems Lawrence has a "wealth of artistic talent" --- why even your "downtrodden areas" are creative looking!
what draws artists to your area? college? family-friendly community? weather? inexpensive to live?
wow. WOW!! An etsy store would just be the end of any grasp I have on our finances, I know that for sure... is that Hulk book a journal?!
How cool Aimee...when people evolve like this, it's exciting.
And what even more exciting Miss Aimee, is you visiting me on my blog, it's been a long time and I missed your Artsyvillish views and words. Thank you.

oh wow! what an amazing shop! Is your beautiful artwork going to be coloring up their shelves? :)
Great little shop! I'm sure it will succeed.
How cool!! I so hope this shop works out and spawns others. I think Lawrence is sucking all of the cool out of State College, PA.
ooh...I am so very jealous! Such fabulousness so close to you. It is my dream (well, one of them!) to have a store like that...for now I'll just browse etsy!
Yowsa! As if the dailt rainbow-wonderfulI Artsyville isn't reason enough, I need to visit Lawrence NOW. Love it
A truly awesome idea! So pleased to see folks are taking this next step: it had to happen sooner or later. I will have to go learn more about how she pulled this together...
what a fabulous store and your photos are terrific! i think they need dome artsyville doodles to make their shop even more fantastic!
What a fun-looking shop! Thanks so much for sharing your photos. I am amazed time and again by how fun and arty Lawrence, Kansas, turns out to be!
looking for the 'like' button here...("love" button would be better) this place is awesome and so are your pics. man, I may move to Lawrence....
how did i possibly miss this this weekend?!!!
i was right there!!!
it must have been the heat.
it blurred my vision.
:)
I'm ready to move to Lawrence now - what a gorgeous place - who needs Europe :)
This is absolutely DREAMY! Road trip!!
In Lawrence? WOW..I'm going to have to get myself up there to see! And - I think MassArt also has a similar MassMade store. Do you know about it??
Can I come over and then can we paint and then go over to this FABULOUS store together?? I wish I could transport myself there like Captain Kirk from Star Trek.....
Holy mackerel, that shop is AMAZING!! Wish we had something like that in my hometown.
Oh so yummy.
Thanks for the wonderful and inspiring tour.
Loved it!
That is so smart I want to do it too!
Just when I thought your town couldn't get any cooler....it does! Lucky you!!!
brilliant... I've always wanted to start one of these in Sydney!

Oooh...please bring this to Iowa. xx
Oh! How totally wonderful! Can't wait to see YOUR stuff there, too!
I need to come down and visit! I haven't been to Lawrence in a while!
isn't it cute? i'm going to be a frequent shopper for sure. hoping that lots of shops like these pop up all over the place -- it's a great idea!
ooooh, goodie! I didn't know that was there, how did I miss that when I was downtown? I'm there a lot, my son is opening a business too.
As a local etsy-er, I'll be looking forward to checking this out.
I want a store just like that out here!!!! What a great idea!
looks like there are delights-a-plenty. Every city needs a shop like that.
Oh my goodness! That is so cool. An etsy inspired store. Wow! I stopped over to visit you from Rachel Awe's blog.

We used to have something like this near my house - but it closed - hmmm...that would be fun to open! I don't think you've signed up with artseebloggers.com yet - it's a directory of the creatively inclined. Would love to see you there!
oh wow!!!!!!!!
another reason to one day visit your town!
