Customers share handcrafted pieces made from items purchased here

Sometimes our customers send us pictures of their creations after they have renewed a piece they bought from our store. Here are some photos of those upgrades that we have received so far!

A Herington woman bought the yellow dress on the left for a costume for her granddaughter to dress up like Belle Starr, the outlaw that ran with Jesse James. Here is the outcome of the full costume view! 

Here is a well worn black and green dresser that a Fort Riley woman bought from our store.

She turned that into this dresser for her daughter.

Here is another rough dresser that a Council Grove woman bought.

It needed some TLC and got turned into this creation!

Sometimes, our customers will find a unique use for something they buy here, such as this wooden drawer separator box used to display nail polish colors.

Do you have before and after pictures of something you have purchased from our store? If so, email them to Stephanie Gilbert, store manager, at PrairieChicKansas@gmail.com.

U.S 77 now open following KDOT bridge replacement project completion

Have you heard the news? The U.S. 77 road construction, just east of Herington has now been completed and the highway is once again open for traffic through the local area. The Kansas Department of Transportation project replaced a highway bridge with a box culvert.

 It's warm enough today to have our front doors open for business -- literally open for your arrival!

Are you traveling from out of town and need to know how to get here? The Prairie Chic store is located at 9 S. Broadway St., Herington, Kan. Here is the Google Map link to help you find your way here.

If you are headed west from Council Grove, travel 24.0 miles east on U.S. 56. Then, at the four-way stop at the intersection of U.S. 77 and U.S. 56, go straight onto Business 56 until you come to Broadway Street. Then turn right to head north 0.2 miles (about four blocks) to Prairie Chic, which is located on the west side (left) of the street.

Or, to come north from the U.S. 50 round-about in Florence, you would travel 30.4 miles on U.S. 77. Then, turn left at the "Y" just north of 300 Avenue, and follow Business 56 through town. (The road will take a sharp right turn at Trapp Street, and you will go four more blocks). Turning left onto Broadway Street and go 0.2 miles north, finding Prairie Chic on the left, just north of Day Street and Central National Bank.

If you are coming south from exit #295 on I-70 in Junction City, head south on U.S. 77 for 26 miles and turn right onto Arnold Street. Follow the road 0.5 miles to the first stop sign on D Street. Turn left and travel 0.2 miles until you get to Main Street (after a small bridge and an open lot on the right). Turn right and travel 0.2 miles until the stop sign at Broadway Street. Turn left and Prairie Chic is located after the second stop sign, on the right side of the road.
