Visit the Community Connection Shoppe located at 408 E Locust St. Chatsworth, IL 60921. The shoppe offers a variety of one-of-a-kind, unique, locally-made/accented creations! You can find wood crafts, blown glass, pottery, painted or accented decor, hand-sewn items, stained glass night lights, children’s toys, locally-made goat milk soap, organic popcorn, organic flour, and so much more!
Another key aspect of our shoppe is our large inventory of ceramic pieces! Stop in on Fridays from 10am-2pm or Saturdays 10am-12pm to paint your own ceramic! We will then fire them and get them back to you a few weeks later. Check out a few of the ceramic pieces we have for you to paint HERE.
The Shoppe works with local farms, businesses, and artists including; Hoffman’s Little Acres, Brian Severson Farms, BluEarth Artwork, Nature’s Designs by Tiff, local artists Dale Maley, Brock Eddelman, Mary Catherine Carter, Jean Doran, and more! Another unique aspect of the Community Connection Shoppe is the laser engraver. Ask about customizing your own keychain or wood piece!
Most of our inventory is hand-crafted or locally-accented! It consists of handmade items from local volunteers/craftsmen and area farmers who want to be a part of the Community Connection’s mission! If you’re interested in selling a locally-made item at the shoppe, call us at (815) 692-9711.
The Shoppe is run by volunteers and owned by the non-profit, Community Connection Group of Central Illinois Ltd, not individuals. All sales tax is included in the pricing so that when checking out, you pay in whole dollars.
Stop by Friday @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm & the first Saturday of each month for our Family Days!
