Our friend Gail Ristow makes the most gorgeous meditation beads on the planet. She's also into labyrinths!
Her site is worth checking into at www.BeadHereNow.net.

Jennifer Ellison is an amazing young woman who started her own floral business, Chelsea Village Flowers, in downtown Chelsea, when she was in her early twenties. She celebrated 5 years in business in 2008. Take a look at her designs and you'll see part of the reason for her success. Have a conversation with her and you'll see the rest of the reason.

The Irish Perennial Rescue Society is a mysterious organization with ancient roots. We are proud to be the Jackson County chairs.

Jack Spack is a poet, a musician, and an artist. He's also a really good friend.
His sometimes dark, quirky art may be found at Jack Spack Jr. -
definitely worth a look!

Michelle Massey Barnes is one talented young woman. In addition to being like a daughter to Marsi, she's her yoga instructor. She's also a doula and a photographer. Her photographs of wildlife are incredible, and she has now branched out to make portraits of your own little wild ones - take a look at her site and gaze in awe.

One of our passionate pastimes is morel mushroom hunting in the spring.
Some say we go a little overboard.
This page describes the madness...

A great group of people, One World One Family strives to bring diversity and inclusivity to Chelsea.
They brought Martin Luther King's legacy to town!

Bill's passions in life are many - Marsi, glass, croquet, morels, to name a few -
but when he found an old slot machine in need of repair,he hit the jackpot.
He not only loves fixing, collecting, and talking about them, he's now the biggest dealer in Michigan.

The Painted Trout is our friend Lauren's brainchild.
She shares a passion for fly-fishing and beautiful things. She's also Jack Spack's spouse.
Marsi got to visit her home state, Colorado, with Lauren in 2007.
Artisan Goods for Anglers includes t-shirts, scarves, aprons, bandanas...and more!

The amazing annual Riverfolk Festival of Music and Art
is held in August in Manchester, Michigan.

A master craftsman, Timothy Moore creates tools for the serious bookbinder at Timothy Moore Tools at his shop in rural Concord, Michigan.

Tracy Gallup's Fine Art Dolls are sought by collectors all over the world.
She also illustrated Peggy Munsterberg's children's book, The Beastly Banquet,
wrote and illustrated King Cat, and is now publishing more books!
Look for her Crazy Little Series in bookstores.

At Darwin's we work hard, but we play hard, too. We're home to a croquet league, the Waterloo Croquet Club. Friends and family gather often to enjoy the game.
