It ’ s beyond the community itself .”
The Makers Mill plans to continue to grow and expand .
“ We have had so many great vendors come and we have made so many great friends that are making so many great things ,” Clayton said . “ Now that we have started and got the beginning under our belt our vision is to create a place now where the skills and hard work of the vendors here is appreciated and seen for the beautiful creation it is .”
The Makers Mill is certainly a unique place .
“ You really get a certain feel when you walk in here . It ’ s this artsy wide open feel that anything is possible because you have so many artists that do so many different things here ,” Whitis said . “ It gives you a complete feel of the possibilities for your home .”
