lunch break with The Landscaper’s Daughter

For cues to spots worth a visit around Chisago Lakes & western Wisconsin, we follow The Landscaper’s Daughter. We flagged her down for a visit to Al’s in Center City, caught up over lunch from Al’s Saloon and Alyssa turned her camera on the glass at Al’s Showroom. We love her point of view! Read her take HERE and find more about her work HERE

Al’s Showroom: holiday shopping tips

❄️ Stop in! Even if you don’t aim to purchase, we love to show off Al’s glass. All are welcome to explore.

❄️ Questions are welcome: please ask.

❄️ Feel free to pick things up or to ask us to do so. The “feel” of a piece, or a view in different light, helps to find the one that’s right.

❄️ Quality of material, degree of difficulty, and general sweetness impact pricing. Al’s work is priced consistently at the showroom and at galleries. If you love a piece, but not the price, we will consider a negotiation.

✌️ Best time to make a deal with Susan: Fridays 12-6.

♥️ Best time to catch Al in the showroom: Saturdays 12-6.

🍔 Al’s Center Saloon, across the street, 11-midnight.

Prices start at $10 for one-of-a-kind magnets.
Suncatcher/ornaments are $20.
Signature clear basket tumblers are $40.
MANY options under $100.

Al makes heirloom quality glass for everyday use and enjoyment!
