She'll be celebrating her years downtown this weekend and next weekend with refreshments, special entertainment, and prizes. "It's a rewarding type of business. I get thank you cards! People thank me for what they've purchased here."

The Silver Feather carries authentic handmade American Indian jewelry and art. To Jane, her business isn't merely a business, but a wonderful place where she's created many friendships over the years. "A lot of my customers have become my friends. So many are repeat customers. And I've gotten to know all of the artists. I used to buy from one generation, now I buy from their children as their art is passed down."

Jane says she wouldn't be any place but downtown. "For shoppers, it's comfortable and gives the opportunity for a more personal experience."
