Happy Summer!

The birds are singing, the grass is growing, the flowers are blooming — AND the gallery is open 7 days a week 10-4:00 pm! Join our resident “hooker” Lynn on Mondays and Tuesdays. She will amaze you with her hooking skills! Really.  Patrick Leahy was truly amazed!

Come visit with me – Ellen on the other days. I am filling in for Jim as he heals from his recent foot surgery. I am ever-so-hopeful that I will be able to prop him up in the gallery soon! Just sitting is getting pretty old for Jim!

We’d love to show you around the gallery.
