Local Loyalty - Seebecks

Welcome back!
Have I mentioned how much fun I've had interviewing and meeting new people? This adventure is my favorite so far, in the way that I was able to be part of something exciting and very special.
 It was an accidental honor, for which I'm ever grateful.
Let me explain. 
Monday, the 10th (last week), was so gorgeous out, I decided to hit the streets and find some new places to check out. 
I visited some friends back on Main Street and asked their input. 
2 of my friends referred me to 

402 Main Street, Racine
Mon. - Fri. 10-6
Sat. 10-4
Sun. closed, tho may open in the summertime.

What made this so special to me, was that it was the very 1st day they opened, and I got to share in that! The light flowing in from the sun made it so bright and cheery. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the variety of artists and their work, was so much to take in. 
The floor plan is very open, so just standing in one place, you see so much, it took my breath away! The flowers you can see in this picture were my absolute favorites. I need to go back and get one for my desk, simply gorgeous!!
Seebecks is new to Racine. However, Pleasant Prairie was the original home to Seebecks Gallery, the parent of our own Seebecks. 
They have been in Pleasant Prairie for 23 years. 
The wonderful store here is a vast array of artisan gifts, jewellery, paintings, custom framing, and so much more. 
 
While I got to be part of that momentous day, this week is actually their Grand Opening Week!

Of course, no interview is complete without the 3 words they choose
to describe their business - 
1. Colorful 
- very! Especially the flowers that will soon be on my desk!
(can you tell I can't wait to go back and get them??)
2. Artisan-made
I love that everything was handmade, not factory made.
3. Comfortable and inviting. 
(ok, that's a 2 some, but I agree whole heartedly, and said it's ok!)

I hope you get a chance to stop in and check them out. 
Please let them know you saw it here!!!
As I was finishing looking around, someone from the Journal was right behind me, so you may have already seen a write up. I don't get the paper, so I don't know if or when it ran. 
So PLEASE, let them know you did see it HERE!!

A very special thank you to you, Vicki, for sharing of your time with me on such a special day!!! I'll see you soon!
