Our store, The Dreaming Bear, in historic downtown Marion is a joy to behold! Often, there is a colorful display of sidewalk chalk art on the pavement outside our doors, put there by young and old alike. Upon entering, you are always greeted with a friendly hello, and then the fun begins! You will find the whimsical handpainted creations of Dreaming Bear Designs, such as furniture, pillows, picture frames, candlesticks and funky wall art. Our best sellers, 3"x7" painted wooden signs, have inspirational sayings, like "Believe in Magic", "Follow your Bliss," and more. We are becoming known for our great assortment of unusual jewelry and funky handbags. You will see the work of national and regional artists here as well, such as pottery, metalwork, handmade soaps and greeting cards. Each piece at The Dreaming Bear is carefully selected, and has a unique spirit of it's own. It's truly a joy for us to see customers' eyes light up when they walk into our store. And when you choose the perfect gift here for your friend or loved one, you'll see their eyes light up too.
Please stop by and visit us soon!

This store is wonderful! Always lifts my spirits and makes me laugh. You are sure to find something special in every corner. We love the open art studio on Saturdays too!
This is my favorite shop in the area. Dori is Fabulous and everything she creates for me is wonderful. She has done several custom orders and they always come out better than I had pictured!!
Charming store full of wonderful gift ideas, jewelry, home accents, etc. I always see something new every time I'm in there. My 2 teenage daughters think it's the best place to buy gifts for their friends.
The Dreaming Bear is the most magical store! You would expect a shop like this in a much bigger metro area but lucky for us it's here! Yay!!
The owner/artist is so friendly and so very talented. She is 'Hunki-Dori' !
