Photos: Spiral Creations Renovations

The Spiral Creations owners are expanding their shop to include the former Kelly's Artbox space, and owner Kathy Alden let Lake Ridge Patch take a peek at the renovations. 

The renovations started in early January, and will last about two weeks. Despite the "closed" sign on the front door, customers still ask Alden if the shop is open for business. However, she said the shop is closed for the duration of the renovations.

All the merchandise has been moved into the back rooms, as the front rooms are stripped and repainted. The wall between the two shops has been torn down, and the back room in Kelly's Artbox will now be Alden's office. 

If you're a die-hard Spiral Creations customer, take a look at her Etsy shop. To shop for jewelry, try Jerry's Occoquan Jewelers, Jewelry Designs by Melissa Dent, or Quinn's Goldsmith. To shop for vintage or antique items, try Occoquan Antiques. To shop for clothing or accessories, try Details, Lil Bit of Posh, or Polka Dot Divas. And to take a jewelry class, stop by Off the Beading Path.
