ReCreate

How happy am I that I stumbled into this store!
I’d spent a few days enjoying Savannah as a tourist and hadn’t come away with anything to remember such a beautiful city by. When I took off walking on my last afternoon in hopes to find something, anything, to make a nice souvenir, I didn’t expect to find such a treasure trove of lovely and fascinating objects as I did in ReCreate.
ReCreate is a cooperative of local artists who share the space to display their work for sale, taking turns manning the register as people like me wander in. The goods in here vary from clothing to jewelry to paintings and prints. I went from room to room for several minutes while Christina, a talented jeweler who happened to be working the register that day, helped me by introducing me to the background of the artists whose work I admired.
Finally, I settled on two oil paintings – one for myself and one for my boyfriend as a gift to remember our trip by. As a bonus, Christina handed me a map of Savannah and gave me a few restaurants tips for a meal out of town before I took off – thanks, Christina!
Locals and tourists alike will be lucky to spend time in this shop and find gorgeous work made by locals. Stop by and enjoy!
