From handmade Rosary’s, to handbags, custom wreaths, and glass decanters that can go from plain to something splashy by request, Julie and Gary Patton brought their home-based business to its current brick-and-mortar location after they downsized their living situation and needed the space to feature their crafting skills, as well as provide a retail outlet for those who share similar aspirations.
