The shop takes consignments from area crafts people. "So you find some really interesting items here," said Radabaugh.

A few of the crafters who have items for sale are, Herman Ayers, Delma Kemper, Margaret Cunningham, Debbie Walker and Linda Carter.

Profits from the shop, sponsored by Friends of Minnie Hamilton, go into a scholarship fund for students entering the medical professions.
