Wordless Wednesday: We Close Tomorrow

Just a hint but we're closing tomorrow afternoon .....

Tree Gifts and Stocking Stuffers

 

For tree gifts and stocking stuffers don't forget to check the tree in the main gallery. 

It's loaded with all sorts of delightful handcrafted goodies for decorating your own tree or as tiny little stocking stuffers. 

Some of the items, all handmade by our members, are also suitable to adding to gift wrap for a hostess or girlfriend gift to boost the festive impact. 

All items decorating the branches are for sale (but I think we'll hang on to the lights and ribbon garland).

Festive Adopt-a-thon: For The Kids

This one is especially for the children and young-at-heart. We have a chirpy little cricket needing a loving home. Made by wood artist, Del Holbrook, this gorgeous pull-along-invertebrate will bring joy and entertainment to its adopted family for many years.

Also At City Hall

With all the excitement of our Christmas Marketplace underway at the Arts Centre, it's easy to forget about one of our other showcase spectaculars. Year round, the Blackberry Artists are on display at the Port Moody City Hall (up the steps on the half landing in front of the reception desk). Mostly, the display case is populated by individual or groups of artists but sometimes our coordinator puts on a "Best Of Shop" display ... and that's what we have for your viewing pleasure this Christmas.

All items on display are for sale, and there is a contact number for you if you see something you desire (and let's face it, they are all objects of desire).

Yet another shop local, shop handmade moment brought to you by the Blackberry Artist's Society :)

PS: Don't forget - we're open for late night shopping Friday 17th to Sunday 19th ie. this weekend, coinciding with live theatre performances in and around the Arts Centre.

Festive Adopt-a-Thon: Shy and Retiring

Bold and brash not your style? Bouncy slobbering party animal not on your wish list?
Don't worry - at the Blackberry Gift Shop we have 'pets' for all tastes.
How about a calm, zen-like panda from paper artist, Yolanda Cheung, or a wee creature to lurk in your eaves from wood artist, Pat de Couto?
