Traci Heusinkveld has moved “down the street” and offers services and products in her five specialties: tans, tees, treasures, trims, and tutus.
The Morrison Chamber of Commerce held a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Friday, August 22, 2014, to celebrate the opening of the Morrison Specialty Shop at 123 W. Main Street, Morrison, IL. A large group of well-wishers, that included family, friends, former colleagues, staff, and Chamber of Commerce members, was on hand to celebrate the shop’s opening by owners Mark and Traci Heusinkveld. Traci is shown holding the ceremonial scissor; Mark was unable to attend.
Morrison Specialty Shop houses five unique enterprises in one building. Think of the one-stop shopping possibilities! For more information call Traci at 815-772-4653 or visit www.morrisonspecialtyshop.com.
- 123 Tee’s–screen printing
- The Dancer’s Hut–dance apparel and supplies
- Uniquely Made Gifts–consignment crafts
- Sheer Envy Hair–salon
- Tanning Salon–beds.
Heusinkveld and Chamber member Angie VanderVinne “model” new t-shirt designs from 123 Tee’s Screen Printing. Traci’s brother and sister-in-law, Justin and Tori Eads, will assist with t-shirt sales. Tyler Smith will continue to service customers in the Dancer’s Hut as well as graphic design. Heusinkveld stated Smith will continue “with everything.”
The Tanning Salon continues in place upstairs with its tanning beds.
Heusinkveld will now serve her customers on the west end of Main Street, rather than the east in The Lion & the Lamb salon. She talks with Mary Ellen Brackemyer in the south end of the first floor Sheer Envy Hair salon. Whiteside News Sentinel Editor Jerry Lindsey awaits the ribbon cutting. Also look for cosmetologist Amanda Bauer in this area of Morrison Specialty Shop.
Convenient hours of operation for these “Five Special Shops in One” are
- Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
- Friday 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The rehabilitated door is a perfectly portable display piece that belongs to Morrison designer and vendor Terri Engelkens. In a small space, she combines various items crafted from sterling flatware, such as mobiles, pendants, keychains, and magnets. Additional magnets are displayed on two painted tim trays. Individual computer keyboard letters allow you to personalize your wee magnet. Buttons, stones, and glass are other options. Engelkens sells felt bracelets decorated with buttons and preciouse baby shoes modified as pincushion. She calls her craft business Terri’s AnTweaks.
