In the February issue of Madison Living, we explore small business that make the City of Madison tick whether
it be in the health fi eld or the artistic scene. Small business’s like Studio 180 and Pottery By You offer Madison resident’s new opportunities in the New Year to explore how much fun one could truly have in such a small but growing area.
The cold weather in February can often force residents to hibernate. However with new and established businesses in the city, Madison residents can still enjoy hands on activities in what often proves the coldest month of the year.
February is also the month we celebrate Valentine’s Day. Much larger, mainstream venues and businesses tend to be too crowded and that is something no one loves. So why not try out some of Madison’s smaller venues and shop locally?
Look inside to see what makes this small city have big city appeal. Enjoy!

Pottery By You in Madison off of Hughes Rd. offers an artistic outlet for those seeking a break from modern
day distractions.Owner Leah Handley said that her goal
was to create an environment in Madison that encompasses sculpting, designing and various other art projects all into one location.
“I like how people in the community were drawn to this type of creative activity,” she said. “People need something to do other than just go to the movies. I saw it as a creative outlet for a lot of families, kids, adults, teens and people of all ages and all backgrounds.”
Handley said that art is a vital part of human expression and having a location like Pottery By You is just the place to let creative thoughts come to life.
“Art is someone’s personal creation from the heart,” she said. “It doesn’t have to be perfect and there’s nothing that is perfect.

It’s just your own personal expression from someone’s own imagination or their creative mind and what they think is beautiful or what gives that person joy.”
Handley said one of her favorite and most joyful expressions of art is when parents come in to cement the birth of a newborn.
“When the young couple came in with a new baby, they want to get a hand print on something to preserve that size of that little tiny hand on a piece and it’s just perfect,” she said. “People get really excited about it.”
Certain months are busier than others and Handley said it is no different for her business especially in the summer.
“June and July are when the kids are
out of school and they are a big part of the business,” she said. “We do have families come in during November and December though those tend to be our slower months.”
Handley said she one day hopes to see her daughters, who work with her, have a similar business of their own.
“I think that I am so blessed that both of my daughters are artist and they have a vision of the business,” she said. “There are days when I feel like I want to give up, but they tell
me that we have to press on and they want to grow the business. They are both are very artistic, they love working with people and I hope to see them one day with their own studios.”

Little did retired colonel Ron and Marsha Willis know that a random lunch in downtown Madison would lead to buying
their home at 312 Church Street. The Willises had long admired homes in
the Madison Station Historic District. In 2010, they were driving to have lunch with a long-lost cousin at Bandito Burrito. “We saw the For Sale sign in the yard,” Ron said. “We bought the house the next day.”
Built circa 1880, the Burton-Balch-Willis Home represents basic bungalow design. Two additions in the rear “have resulted in a home significantly deeper than wide, which disguises its size when viewed from the street,” Ron said.
With exterior board-and-batten siding, the original home featured a back porch separating a summer kitchen and dining room from the rest of the house.
Now exceeding 2,700 square feet, the home has a foyer; three bedrooms; two baths; three fireplaces (two original); separate living, dining and family rooms; galley kitchen; and breakfast and laundry rooms. The large backyard has mature
pecan trees and a swimming pool.In 1915, Samuel Williamson Balch
purchased the Church Street home and two lots for $625. Across the street at 311
Church Street, his son Joseph Austin Balch Sr. built a home on one of the lots.
“In 1951, Joe Balch Jr., Joseph Austin’s son, purchased his grandfather’s home and

lived there with his wife Edna until he died in 1998,” Willis said. Both Samuel and Joe Sr. delivered rural mail by horseback and later by motorcycle.
“Joe Jr. served on the Madison City Commission for many years. The home was in the Balch family for more than 70 years,” Ron said. He acknowledges Madison historian John Rankin for invaluable research on the Balches.
During his 30-year career in U.S. Air Force, the Willises had lived in many fine homes but never one with the feel of the Burton-Balch-Willis Home. “A historic home gives you a feeling of connection to the past and all the memories that entails,” he said.
The Willises have added a double garage with attached workshop and an integrated patio cover in back. In the master bath, they renovated the shower with period-appropriate subway tiles. The kitchen now has stainless steel appliances and granite countertops.
They most enjoy the family room, light and airy with brick floors, built-in bookcases and a mantle from a historic home in Virginia. “The house has detailed crown molding, along with hand-worked molding around doors and baseboards,” Marsha said.
Family antiques furnish the home, including his grandmother’s Duncan Phyfe couch, her grandmother’s oil-burning lamp converted to electricity and her mother’s tricycle, some 85 years old.
“One of our most cherished possessions is a pastel chalk painting of our granddaughters by local artist D. W. Burch,” Marsha said. “The painting hangs over the mantle of one of the original fireplaces. The connection between the late 1880s and 2013 is poignant.”
Ron is a native Alabamian, while Marsha is a Texan. They met in 1964 when Marsha’s family moved to Manchester, Tennessee, near where Ron’s father worked. In 1996, they returned home to Alabama after he retired as colonel from the U.S. Air Force.
Their son Christopher works as an enterprise architect for Dell Computers in South Riding, Virginia. Graduates of Auburn University, daughter Jenni Ball and husband Travis are clinical pharmacists at Huntsville Hospital.
Ron works as director of engineering services for Aero Thermo Technology. Marsha formerly worked as operations director for Tellus Development. “Marsha retired to become a full-time grandmother — a non-paying job she finds much more rewarding,” he said.

Kerrin Bialkoski has opened Turquoise 28, an at-home bakeshop specializing in brownies and other desserts
to satisfy the most discriminating tastes. “I don’t have any formal training. It’s just
little ol’ me with my spatula in hand and chocolate on the brain,” Bialkoski said.
With her shop, Bialkoski is satisfying an entrepreneurial craving to own her own business, while answering customers’ expectations for delicious pastries. Moreover, Bialkoski is sharing her passion for cooking.
“When I was growing up, I always loved baking and cooking with my mom. I have
such wonderful memories of holidays spent laughing and enjoying family time in the kitchen,” Bialkoski said. With a family of her own now, she is creating special memories with them.
People often ask Bialkoski about her business’ name. “The name just came to me when I was throwing around ideas. I

like the color turquoise, and the year that I was 28 years old was a fun and memorable year,” Bialkoski said.
Turquoise 28’s specialty is brownies, particularly her mother’s original family recipe for Rocky Road.
Her menu is expanding constantly as she tests new ideas and flavor combinations. Several tempting brownie options are on the menu:
• Cake Batter — Blondie cake with cake-batter buttercream frosting, topped with sprinkles.
• Cannoli — Chocolate brownie with a Cannoli frosting, topped with miniature chocolate chips.
• Cappuccino — Chocolate all around with Bailey’s Mint Milk Chocolate buttercream frosting and a dollop of fresh mint buttercream.
• Red Velvet — A royal, red-velvet cake smothered in white chocolate frosting.
• Salted Caramel — Chocolate brownie with a middle layer of creamy caramel, topped with caramel drizzle and sea salt for salty-sweet decadence.
Bialkoski believes in out-of-the-box thinking to offer something that people
wouldn’t normally expect from a brownie. “I’m also in the process of introducing some other family favorites and different

takes on desserts.” Turquoise 28 customers rally for the
red velvet and cannoli brownies. Bialkoski leans to salted caramel, with “gooey caramel layer in the middle that makes it chewy and fudgey. My son’s favorite is the cake batter brownie … always a hit with little ones.”
Customers enjoy Bialkoski’s out-of-the-ordinary approach to desserts. “I’m offering unique brownies and treats that you don’t see in every other bake shop,” she said. “People like the options for chic, little gift sets for any occasion.” In addition, Bialkoski will cater any party or event.
Bialkoski said her goal is to have a storefront one day. “Since I’m just starting out, I’m not quite there yet,” she said.
Customers can place orders by email or Facebook message and then pick up their orders. Delivery options also are available. To place an order, email to [email protected] or visit Facebook/Turquoise 28.
“I’m also out at the Plucky Peacock, 27631 U.S. 72 with my goodies the third weekend of every month. Check Facebook for dates and times,” she said. Bialkoski bakes Rocky Road brownies using a passed-down family recipe.

EmbroidMe is helping clients make their mark on the field, in the office or in trumping competitors.
Franchise owner Bart McQuitty and his staff produce embroidery and direct-to-garment printing with his promotional marketing company. The Madison store
offers full-service embroidery, garment/screen printing, dye-sublimation, heat transfer, laser engraving and etching services and promotional products.
All EmbroidMe services are offered “utilizing state-of-the-art machinery and techniques under one roof with a 7- to 10-day turnaround,” McQuitty said. “All of our imprinting methods can be applied to a variety of materials and products.”
EmbroidMe’s staff works with
customers “to determine which technique will be utilized to fit their particular need at a very competitive price,” McQuitty said. The result is an assortment of services that fits a variety of budgets.
Since opening in April 2012, EmbroidMe “has had an excellent reception from customers throughout the Madison and Huntsville areas. We’re very happy with our progression,” McQuitty said.

An example of 21st-century technology, laser engraving on apparel produces an outstanding look and a more subdued imprint. “The laser actually seers the nap of the material to imprint the logo,” he said.
The logo and material usually are the same color, but the logo has either a darker or lighter hue, depending on whether the garment has synthetic or natural fibers. “It’s just another technique
we can produce in-house and offer our customers that most other shops cannot,” McQuitty said.
EmbroidMe’s new Brother GT-3 garment printer does direct-to-garment printing on 100-percent cotton and cotton/polyester blends of any color — white to black and any color in between.
“This is newer technology,” McQuitty said. Unlike most garment printers, the GT-3 can print white ink on any color
of garment, along with printing logos and similar designs. This process is less expensive than screen printing, especially for customers needing multi-color logos on smaller orders.
McQuitty and his wife Cathy completed training at the United Franchise Group corporate training facility in the EmbroidMe Lab in West Palm Beach, Florida. “All our employees received training for two weeks at our store from

EmbroidMe corporate training in April 2012, just prior to our opening,” he said.
Cathy McQuitty works in the technology department for Madison City Schools. Their son Josh is a senior at the University of Alabama at Birmingham majoring in biomedical engineering. Daughter Karrah is a sophomore at the University of Alabama and plans to enter nursing.
Eight years ago, McQuitty transferred from Indiana as a FBI program manager at the Hazardous Devices School on Redstone Arsenal. In 2011, he retired after 30 years with the federal government — 26 years with FBI and four years as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. He saw combat in Grenada and Beirut.
McQuitty is a member of Madison Chamber of Commerce, Madison chapter of BNI networking group, Blue Knights Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, Rocket H.O.G. Chapter, along with memberships in the Elks, American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars.
EmbroidMe is located at 12090 County Line Road, Suite B in Madison in the Publix shopping center (Village Shoppes of Madison). Hours are Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

workout routines all while putting parent’s minds at ease at the same time.
“I had discovered barre workouts about two years ago,” she said. “I had already been teaching Pilates and was familiar with that and I just became obsessed but the only inconvenience about it that there was no childcare where I was going.”
Smith said she then realized she could make a career out of doing the thing she loved best all while innovating it at the same time.
“I had told myself that I loved it and could see myself doing it and opening a studio,” she said. “I could offer childcare and things other than just barre. I wanted to incorporate spins for the cardio, yoga for the stretching and then Pilates to strengthen the core. So it is all my favorite classes under one roof with childcare.”
Smith said that some of the health benefits from attending Studio 180 workout sessions include building a better upper body core, better cardio conditioning and some of the same techniques used in physical therapy for patrons recovering from surgery or ailments.
“Because we are at the barre doing different stretches, you are going to build better posture,” she said. “You are also going to become more flexible and of course when you are working your core, you’re going to strengthen your back. We also incorporate various orthopedic stretches and one on one nutritional counseling.”
Smith added there are no age limits or restrictions to workout routines offered at Studio 180 and that all age groups are welcomed to build better health habits in 2013.
“There is no age limit because the barre method is very low impact,” she said. “We’ve had people as young as 16 years old so far all the way to 68 years old. You can come in here off the street not having worked out a day in your life and you could do it.”
