Vintage Post Card Cards


Rachel Clark Hall, our recycling queen, has just brought in some gorgeous cards that she has created from her Great Grandmothers Post card collection. On the front an old picture of Orangeville and the back looks like you could mail it. I placed them with Kaarina Dillabough's cool postage stamp necklaces, to complete your vintage post card experience.

Scarey or Inspired



Ok, I just happen to love Carmen's new works. She has brought in some wall angels, very cool, and these tins, incorporating animals and porcelain heads. The thing is, some people has been responding strongly to them in the opposite way. hmmm I guess that art does provoke strong feelings!

Aquamarine


One of the loveliest colours, soft sky blue, mixed with a hint of ice. Aquamarine is the birth stone for March. Beth has some made some beads for our Broadway Bracelet, which is also wonderful as the Broadway Necklace... Robin has put together an interesting display with cut aquamarine stones.

Something New Two


Our friends at Metallic Evolution have created a line of beautiful serving utensils. Stainless steel. Leaf motif. Could they be prettier? and who doesn't want a pickle fork? an olive spoon, or a cool coffee scoop?

Something New

What is it that you have always wanted to do


Someone told me that they just threw out their bag of broken pottery. Doesn't everyone have a secret project that is just waiting to get started. ..or finished. I know I've had my share of broken pottery bags. What makes the difference, tips the balance, Is it desire or time, fear or lack of experience? of course likely it's not mosaics, so let me know what it is that you're avoiding...

Beth collaborates with Sassafras


Victoria Kirk from Sassafras has designed her entire new line incorporating Beth's beads. They chose several different colour schemes and all of them are marvellous. Check out this long copper and glass chain that you can wrap around twice, or wear long. We have one in each of three colour ranges. and there are some great earrings and bracelets as well.
