Shop Local For Unique Gifts

By Diane Braun February 5, 2023

I was recently on Facebook, for no particular reason, and came across some pictures of concrete stepping stones.  There were different shapes and sizes, some even had etchings of letters and numbers.  How cute!  I sent a message and Joyce Selvidge messaged me back.  These concrete items are made by hand. Joyce works with a local craftsman who creates the finished product.  I loved the paw print, thought it would a great addition to my daughter and son-in-law's landscaping because they breed aussie doodles and they're all about dogs! I ordered a large paw print and Joyce said they could etch a name, numbers, letters whatever I'd like for free.  I asked for an M. The photo above this article is the finished product!  Price: $14! 

When I met with Joyce in Santa Claus for pick up, I had to smile.  From her driveway, you turn and see the roller coasters at the rear of Holiday World. A 30 minute drive from Evansville.  She pointed out the slab that currently has her house number on it as well as a few other items.  All I could think was how awesome would any of these be as unique gifts?  Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparent's Day....the list goes on.

Joyce has brochures and is glad to share photos of the products they make and sell.  You can reach her at 1-812-686-7979.
