Northfield, Minn. is known for its eclectic local boutiques - well worth a drive, especially on a crisp autumn day. Still, can't help but be a little bit excited that one of Northfield's finest, Digs, has new digs in Minneapolis. Linda Schneewind decided to move up to the city, and relocated her crafty shop at the corner of 38th and Grand in South Minneapolis (across the street from Sugar Sugar, as if you need an extra excuse to visit the retro sweet candy store). Digs is a DIYers delight, filled with a huge assortment of fabrics and fibers. The front of the shop features finished products - jewelry, stuffed animals, t-shirts and more from independent artists--many local. Virtually every item here has an interesting story--just ask! 3800 Grand Ave. S., Mpls.
