Wichita Scouting: The Onion Tree in College Hill

Dear readers! If you live in Wichita and haven't had a chance to visit the Onion Tree yet:

Get.there.now! 
It is the sweetest little boutique filled to the gills with all things handmade. I ventured in for the first time last week (after passing by a hundred times thinking "must go there") and was charmed by all the crafty handmade goodness. Products run the gamut from wall-art to handmade pillows (divine ones at that) to one-of-a-kind jewelry. 

They have art-aplenty to adorn your walls. I love these bug+creatures!
Gorgeous handmade pottery.

Artists from all over Wichita + some from far away sell their goods here...
Nothing mass-produced about this place!
...I would place one little happy daisy in you, red jar with blue dots!

I love this peacock. Would be a perfect punch of color in a home office or study.

Yes and yes! Isn't this lovely? I love the colors. Gorgeous for anchoring space over a sofa or headboard!

Think you'll make the trek!? 
Do it. You'll be glad you did!
Such a welcoming place. A great option for gift buying AND for when you need some extra "room polish!" And here's the best part-- on Sundays they host "Sunday-Fundays" when you can bring craft goods and work on projects with other artists and crafters.

...Check back later today for a "Wichita Scouting" feature on antiques+consignment store Juliana Daniel!
