From world class font artists to jewelry designers, there are many talented people artisans who live in Minneapolis. Luckily there are a few stores in the city that carry products that showcase this local talent (as well as the work of some national artists as well). Here are my three top picks.<\/p>\n
Paper Hat<\/a><\/strong> Digs <\/a><\/strong>
\n2309 W. 50th Street Minneapolis, 55410
\nLocated in Southwest Minneapolis, Paper Hat is a true Minneapolis gem. Owner Greta Norlander curates a diverse collection with items ranging from delightful to downright edgy. From handmade soaps to animal paintings to beautiful handmade jewelry, you\u2019re sure to find the perfect Minneapolis souvenir at Paper Hat. If you\u2019re in town on a Thursday evening, stop by for the craft happy hour event and make a little something of your own!<\/p>\n
\n3800 Grand Ave South, Minneapolis, 55409
\nLocated at the corner of 38th and Grand in South Minneapolis, Digs boasts a large selection of paper goods (think letterpress notecards and handmade journals), charming dolls made out of recycled materials, one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces, ceramics (I am currently coveting the over-sized striped coffee mugs), and more. In addition to carrying some of the most unique gifts to be found in the Twin Cities, Digs owner Linda Schneewind also stocks an impressive selection of vintage and contemporary fabrics, ribbons, and yarn. Stop in to do a little shopping or take a knitting class!<\/p>\n
