From time to time our busy Downtown staff gets a chance to head out of the office and visit our Downtown businesses. Allison enjoyed her day shopping around A Robin’s Nest of Antiques and came up with a fun shopping guide. Almost all of these things are available a Robin’s Nest, a few might have made their way home with Allison…

I am in love with John Cooley's jewelry! He has a whole line of "blanks" so you can choose which stone to customize yours with. So unique!
