Walking into this store, is a an experience!! Yes, it is a gift shop, but it so much more more. The owner is a artist whose touch is felt throughout the store. Recently, she has returned to painting and creating her own line of inspirational items. Sherry Yaegers paintings of birds, bicycles, angels, Missouri scenes, and many other subjects sets the atmosphere for the store. You will not be sorry you took the time to stop and take a look. The staff is friendly and they have gifts for all lifestyles.

Renaissance is my favorite store!!! Whether you live in Cape or are just visiting, you must check out Renaissance. The store is filled with incredible artwork from a local artist, Sherry Yaeger. In addition, there are the most unique books, home decor and gifts imaginable. Sherry owns the store along with her husband, Mike. They are the most sincere, wonderful people and store owners that you could meet! Located on the corner of Broadway and Main Street, you have great views of the river, you can hear the train go by and appreciate the ambiance that the store provides. A MUST SEE!!! THE JEWEL OF DOWNTOWN CAPE GIRARDEAU!

Cool stuff!
