Tween Time

It is TWEEN TIME – that funny week between the frenzy of Christmas and festivities of New Year’s Eve. If you are feeling “tweenish” come on out to visit the gallery. A reference to TWEEN TIME might garner you a 10% off on an item of your choice – 1 per customer, please! We are Open Wednesday – Friday.

Winter Soltice

The shortest day of the year…and a lunar eclipse! It is picture perfect outside my window.

Longer days are coming and with them will be our brand new cafe in our very old house! Work has begun in earnest on the cafe – kitchen, bathroom are all moving forward. The Kitchen Door Cafe will be here before we know it! Jeanne is working on menus right now! Watch for details in January/February.

Welcome to our Newest Artisan: Chris Jacobs!

Chris joins GIAW from Albany, Vermont where he hand crafts his beautiful wood framed mirrors. Each mirror is unique. He chooses wood from dead or dying trees and does not harm any living forest for his mirrors. Chris planes the lumber and picks each piece carefully. All the wood on a mirror comes from the same tree. His end result is a breathtaking mirror.

This particular mirror captured Sherry Corbin’s beautiful Raku pottery lamp lighting up some of Ellen Thompson’s hand knit shawls.

Come on in and and take a look for yourself!

Night Lights…

What a wonderful time of year.  As it get darker outside earlier, the evening lights become so much more impressive and important.  Looking at our pretty gallery
from the outside, you are drawn inwards by the lights.  They cast a warm glow that is so inviting.  Come on in and visit for a while!
