Independent

I visited yesterday having been away from the area for two years. It’s not as exciting as it once was. However, I understand they now have a sister store on Main Street which has many of the fun home dec items that used to be at Independent. I hope to visit that store when it’s open.

Awesome little shop!
Beautiful, artistic, inspiring, all the wonderful feelings you hope to get when going into a small business. The owners are so helpful and kind. This is the type of local business you want to support. They have all kinds of fun stuff, but they specialize in jewelry (yes! they do custom orders) and children’s clothes and accessories, most hand made.
Please shop here and support this great local shop and its artisans!!!

Nice shop — very different items for gifts or yourself. I bought a necklace with a single pearl, receive compliments on it. these ladies make some of the items. The place is fun with an artistic vibe. friendly staff, totally no pressure. check it out!

Life without creative expression is stifling. Human beings have the need to be creative in whatever outlet that might be. While I am not artistic, I certainly appreciate artistic expression. I enjoy visiting museums, art galleries and art studios. I am in awe when I view many of the amazing works created by the artists.
Thankfully, Murphys has its share of art galleries where one can go to appreciate a variety of creations. The newest one to open is Independent. The store is a working studio for the owner. It is also a retail location where customers can purchase paintings, woodwork, children’s clothing, soy candles, ceramics and glass work. Most of the art is produced locally. Independent also carries art supplies so you can let your creativity flow.
I feel it is so important to support our creative artists. They create beautiful pieces of art in so many forms for us to enjoy. So, if you ever have one of those days when you can’t think of anything to do, go visit an art gallery and support the artists. Happy viewing!
