What's New 3/4/16: Online Shop

Just to sweeten that last post, here's an up-to-the-minute peek at two more luscious vests we received yesterday from Maggy Pavlou.  Lucky us!

Both of these are pretty perfect, from the fun, modern vibe of the black and turquoise to the elegant form of the grey and white:

 And as always, we love the buttons!  An extra touch that delights.
 

The elegant look of this one - which Maggy has named "Just Lines", fittingly - is most pleasing, with its slimming vertical aspect and clean, geometric styling.

What's New 3/2/16: Online Shop

Let's start spring with a new blog post series!  These short and to-the-point articles will be designed to alert you as soon as possible to the very latest items arriving in the Gallery and, specifically, to what is newly available in our wonderful online shop.

If you haven't visited us online yet, you really should:  it's quite a visual treat, whether for making quick purchases from a distance or enjoying a relaxing window shopping session from your coziest armchair, in search of special gifts or splurges for yourself.  Simply click on the links in each item to visit them online for availability, pricing and other information, and to access the artists' individual pages showing more of their work.

As always, you'll be seeing the finest art from the finest artists around - representing the vast talents of the Pacific Northwest, the nation, and the planet.

Some of the items we will spotlight in this blog series are pieces that always seem to fly out of the gallery, so we want you to see them fast!  Here's one in particular that arrived a few days ago; we immediately listed it in the online shop last week, and it's already gone off to a new home:

Black and Rust Reversible Vest, Felted Wool.  Maggy Pavlou

Thanks to her modern styling, consistently high quality workmanship, lightweight yet cozy wearability, and the sheer elegance of her creations, artist Maggy Pavlou's pieces are hard to keep in the shop.  We have a couple of her new items in, but will they last?  We'll see!  They are the perfect weight for this time of year when the weather can't quite make up its mind; but as one of our most popular lines, we sell them all year long.

Maggy's vest is shown over a newly arrived Stella McCartney Vintage zippered top, available here in our Vintage Clothing section (under Textile & Wearable Art).

Here's another of Maggy's:

Come visit again soon; we'll be back with another What's New quick-post before you know it!

Your'e Invited: September 2014 First Friday Artwalk

September's First Friday Artwalk in downtown Winslow is always a fun affair - in transition from summer to fall, but still nice enough weather-wise to bring the Blues outside.  Come on down to hear what may be our last outdoor concert of the year (it would be nice if some of the warm weather lingered into October, but we won't hold our breath!).  After his summer hiatus, we welcome back Peter Spencer and Friends for another evening of great rock, blues and R&B.  Featured are new works by old friends (Wendy Dunder has sent us several more of her amazing wood and paper lamps) and we introduce Spirithouse, our newest textile artist. Wine, munchies and beautiful art are guaranteed.

Do NOT miss this!
