This hip, colorful shop combines a superior bead collection with beautiful yarns in all shades and textures. New to jewelry design and knitting? No problem, the Beadery offers classes from one-hour “quickies” in beading, to six hour instruction on spinning your own yarn! If you prefer to get messy with your art, Clayworks Gallery (417 N.

Main) is an oasis for all things healthy- organic foods, supplements, bulk items, and fresh baked bread. They also have a deli that offers a daily rotating menu of homemade soups and sandwiches. Try the cinnamon orange swirl bread; delicious! up a great breakfast panini in addition to every coffee drink imaginable and offer a nice lunch menu to boot. We opted for lunch at the ever popular Reba’s ( 301 N. Main) in the historical Old Mill building. Great food, great atmosphere, great service. This classy joint offers lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. Wednesday is burger night which has proven so popular, reservations are recommended. I like the tapas menu which includes crab fondue and “Sliders”– four mini Black Angus burgers. No trip to Newton would be complete without a stop at the Bread Basket (219 N. Main) for a slice of homemade pie or a bag of frozen bierocks to go! Stop and smell the roses Or the candles, reed diffusers, lotions or gourmet foods at Flowers By Ruzen’s (520 Washington Rd).

Get a jump on the new year by making the trek to Newton, where “life is as it should be.” Pamper yourself. My partner in crime treated herself to a complimentary five-minute chair massage by therapist Kristina Steiner. You can find her at Prairie Harvest on Thursdays or make an appointment to go to her place. She offers spa treatment without the spa prices. Massage is as good for the soul as it is for the body. ~Taci FasT Eat more chocolate! I know, I just said to eat healthier, but Exquisite Gourmet Gifts and Floral (513 N.
