Art on every wall

Local artists hang a new show every month, and most of it is for sale. Hand-made jewelry and gifts fill the mantel by the fireplace.

The courtyard under the pergola, tables in the shade of big trees

Out back, the courtyard

Shade trees, a pergola, wrought-iron tables, plants in every pot and string lights at night. Dogs are welcome out here, and the skeleton in the middle has his coffee cup raised.

Farmers and makers set up on Friday and Saturday mornings.
