I recently visited Practical Art for the first time to see Christine Cassano's show, "Invest with Confidence". I was thoroughly impressed by all of the beautiful work I saw. I would love to buy any number of pieces from this store. I love that they sell refresh glass - the wine bottles turned glasses, and they have some gorgeous hand painted bowls and sets. Everything is local, and they have a great assortment of different items. It would be a great place to buy a special gift, and it certainly is a point of inspiration for what I would love to put in my home someday. Right now, its a little pricey for me, but all in all its a store I hope survives.
