Artisan Shop & Gallery Closes After Nearly 50 Years in Wilmette
The store moved to Plaza del Lago in the 1970s.

The Artisan Shop & Gallery is closing its doors at the Plaza del Lago on Sheridan Road in Wilmette for the final time this year after more than 46 years in business.
Current owner Lynn Hansen bought the store in 1983 and has opened up two others that have since closed in Long Grove and at The Glen Town Center in Glenview, according to the Wilmette Beacon.
Hansen said that she decided to close the store simply because it was time.
