Wordless Wednesday: Christmas is coming

Just a little advance notice of the gift shop's upcoming Christmas market (put it in your diaries! and note that festive items will be appearing from early November onwards!).

I Know It's Paper ..... But Is It Art?

Tut tut! It most definitely is, my dear.

And we have some incredible handmade paper art by artist Joan Marr, in addition to our handy selection of artist gift cards.
This isn't your school's flat painting paper either; it's a lumpy, bumpy 3-D textured fantasy landscape of pressed pulp.

Too Much Jewelry

 wire wrap ring by Urszula Petrykowska

IMO we have a very concise collection of jewelry available in the gift shop, ranging from unique hand carved stone through luxurious beaded items and quirky wire crochet to amazing metalwork.

There's truly something for every taste.

There are items to complete that formal outfit to paint the town red on a Saturday night, everyday "go to's" to make that casual ensemble stand out from the crowd, and precious sentimentals to gift as a "thank you".
All colours, all styles, all unique and hand made locally.
Happy shopping.

wordless wednesday: a final glimpse?

Either a teaser, or a puzzle to solve? You choose.
