Oh my, it's almost October!

We hope you love the changing of seasons like we do - colors of the leaves shifting to a beautiful fall palette, and teases of crisp, fresh weather suggesting something new is in the air!

Join us in our delight as we celebrate American Craft Week, with an ART Raffle fundraiser, a special sculpture display, two coupons, welcome guest artists, and enjoy the latest deliveries from your favorites. Check out the artful events we have planned for this month and beyond ... starting this Saturday!

We're here seven days a week, so we're happy to help you find the perfect pieces, and add our complimentary, signature gift-packaging to every present. 

artful events ~ 


Join us as we celebrate the wonders of American craft by recognizing the enduring value of handmade by sharing a variety of local craft artists with you. During the Celebration of American Craft Week you can meet accomplished artists, experience the excitement of contemporary craft-making, & help raise money for Empty Bowls by taking part in our ART Raffle fundraiser.
 
Here is a bit about this national event, from the founders at Craft Retailers & Artists for Tomorrow (CRAFT): It's an opportunity to celebrate the wonders of American craft. Every day thousands of American artists share their vision and talent by producing amazing hand-made decorative and functional objects. Every day thousands of craft retailers share their love of these items by displaying, promoting and selling them. As one craft artist put it, "this is the creative economy!"
American Craft enriches our homes, wardrobes, offices and public spaces. It contributes to our nation's economy, our balance of trade, and the fabric of our national history. It is original, beautiful and enduring, so let's tell the world!

This is one of our favorite times of the year ~
 American craft is WHO WE ARE! 

Featured artists & events: 
October 1-16 ~ ART Raffle benefiting Empty Bowls / Kids Cafe 
October  ~ BJ McHugh of Loveworn ~ wearables Trunk Show
October  ~ Nora Swanson ~ jewelry Trunk Show

Keep the weekend poppin' with another artful event at indigenous ~ Nora Swanson will bring her full collection of uniquely textured and colored jewelry for a grand Trunk Show during our American Craft Week celebration.

Nora creates modern jewelry with an ancient essence.
"Simple geometric shapes combine with stunning natural colors. The entire line of jewelry feels archetypal and modern in unison. We  work exclusively with copper, brass, and semiprecious stones. Several of the oxidized metal finishes are found only in our collections. Each piece is individually hand finished, super durable, non-allergenic, and one of a kind; celebrating the individual who wears it. Hold a piece up to any outfit and see how it connects and stylizes beautifully.
We have perfected a process to create "ancient  treasure" with modern materials and science.  Our work features genuine patinas. There are no enamels, paints or dyes on this jewelry, everything goes on clear." 
 
MEET this skilled Berea, Kentucky artist and shop her fantastic collection of jewelry during this special one-day Trunk Show from 11 to 5 on Saturday, October 15th.
