Original hand-crafted art for seasonal decor doesn't have to be put away after the holidays. Each piece becomes a part of your collection, for display year round and eventually an heirloom.

Keep in Touch with our Industry

Niche Magazine is published by the Rosen Group who in addition is responsible for creating each year the Buyer's Market of American Craft, the venue show where hand-made craft retailers such as little ole' us go to select new artists or stay in touch with our current artists. Last year we were honored to be named a 2009 Top Retailer by Niche and our relationship with this industry of North American Craft continues.  National recognition within your industry is a wonderful experience.  The article titled "Building Business with a Standout Website"  in this month's Niche online magazine about our new website is a thrill.  As both a marketing professional and gallery owner, it is what I strive for.  Being passionate about our craft artists in glass and metal makes it easy.
