Huron Heritage Hometown Pride Part One

Consider this your invitation
to get out and enjoy yourself...

Spring is peeking through the window,
calling us out of our nests!


and the downtown shops
of Huron are ready to 
cater to your every desire...


so order up a cappuccino grande 
from "Don't Spill the Beans"
the girls will top it off with
whipped cream and send you off with a smile...




If milk and donuts is more your style,
then head down to "The Donut Shoppe"
for the best there is!

Marlo Peters has been making donuts here for 32 years!
(that's a lot of donuts!)
Hannah will help you pick one out, but trust me, 
you'll want to take a bag full home with you!


Now that your taste buds are satisfied,
head up the street to do some shopping!

Downtown Huron has some
wonderful shops, dedicated business people,
and truly unique wares and services!

Starting with Smith Jewelry...

Sue and Les Christen, owners
Jewelry, Gifts and Home Decor
fill this beautiful store.
Family owned since 1910




Our neighbor to the north
is Sue Cameron of Merle Norman Cosmetics
Sue has been selling cosmetics and doing
specialty facials since 1977.
The store was started by her mother in 1962.



 Across the street,
stop by Walker's Flower Shop...
fresh flowers 
and plenty of spring time decor
will fill your senses with delight...







 The girls will help you with a floral arrangement
or decorating advice...



Spring is the season...

and shopping local
is a great reason
to visit downtown Huron!!

Memory Frames

Here at The Prairie Preservationist
we come across out-dated items
and try to think of ways to make them useful
and beautiful again...



(Letters & Lace Blog post on Sall's Country Life)

when this over-sized ugly yellow pine frame,
and a pile of tattered and stained linens came in
we supplied a little bit of new Tim Holtz fabric
and some black Old Towne chalk-style paint
and "VOILA!"



A beautiful Vintage Memory Frame
to display old pictures, postcards, letters
jewelry, etc....



A Fun project piece of art.
Now on our 
list of future workshops!

Look for this one of kind piece at our store soon
and listed on our new Website

Hittin' The Bottle Class Night


 Some glass bottles
are just too pretty
to throw out...




Why DO they put whiskey 
in such pretty bottles anyway??




We had fun
turning empty
glass bottles into 
works of art...




With a little paint,
a new label,
and a little ribbon...



the transformation
is quite 
impressive...


We had a good time
"Hittin' the Bottle"
with our paint, brushes
and
creative minds!



You don't need to be 21
to be artistic!
