Vacationers might miss this multifaceted business full of diversions for a rainy day. Here Jim and Ruth Baker have developed a shop that suits their interests. It's a one-hour photo service and photography shop, a gallery and frame shop, gift and card shop with a regional focus, and art supply headquarters for paints, canvases, sketch pads, and drawing supplies, from colored pencils to watercolor crayons.
