Shopping

By Linda DuVal

Watch artists at work and buy their wares at the Business of Art Center in historic Manitou Springs. Its doors opened in 1988 and for two decades the facility has supported and showcased local potters, sculptors and painters, among others. There's always something new to see and original art work is affordably priced. Sept. 26 is their 20th anniversary gala celebration. 719-685-1861.

Say you just can't find milk-glass lamps, or ice cream chairs, or whatever suits your vintage fancy? Well, stop by the Front Range Mercantile in Longmont
