We don’t necessarily have anything against big box stores – after all, they have almost anything you could ever need, all under one roof. But why buy a mass-produced gift from a national retailer when you can support a local small business that carries hand-made items? Check out this quirky store in Salt Lake City:
Dancing Cranes Imports is a locally-owned business that brings hand-crafted and unique gift items from all over the world to one, huge store in the Sugarhouse area of Salt Lake City.
You'll find this shop at 673 East Simpson Ave., Salt Lake City, Utah.
Step into this store and enter a space that's filled with all the colors and scents of a world-market bazaar, but has the peace and serenity of a Buddhist retreat.
...and immerse yourself in art - both local and foreign. If you come here looking for a gift for a loved one, you'll undoubtedly find something to take home for yourself, too.
Unlike the antiseptic aisles of a big box store, Dancing Cranes is filled with greenery. Around every corner, you'll find plants of all kind thriving here.
Take a moment to check out the koi pond that's right inside the entrance. It sets the tone for the calm, peaceful atmosphere that you don't find in most retail shops.
Have you shopped at Dancing Cranes? We’d love to hear what treasures you found there! For more information about this quirky, unique store, visit its website and follow its Facebook page.
