Between thanksgiving and Christmas eve, one of our local museums displays things made from many local artists. Jewelry, baskets, etc. People can come in and buy any of them; they make great one-of-a-kind Christmas gifts. I got a copper necklace for a friend. Lets shop around. These photos do not show the best things, as I was being watched by employees! Stealth is not my forte, as I am so clumsy!
Handmade boxes
Handmade bells
Purses
Stained glass Christmas trees
Bows
Handmade journals and books with surprises inside
This rooster is made from curled paper. You can see our reflection behind it. What would you buy?
Without art, the
crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

A great place to window shop, but like you I would only want pictures, not the objects themselves. I love that quote!
Oh my. Such wonderful treasures. I like the one cat box. The bells are beautiful. I really like the look of the stained glass trees and the journals are rather interesting.
I would like the "Boho" style purses (bohemian) best of all.
Question is, did you buy something for YOURSELF?!!
These gifts look so good to give away!
they are all very pretty and created by talented artists and I would love to see them. the only thing I might buy would be a stained glass tree for the nook. I am sure the prices were above my purse strings
Ginny it never ceases to amaze me how talented some people are.
I am not a big sleuth either - I see Phil patiently waiting for you!
I love handmade gifts like this. Hubby and I used to do craft shows for weekends on end. I sold blankets that I made. So many of crafters bought from each other. Just a lot of fun. LOOOOVE the stained glass. Very cool. Cheers, Ivy.
This is so neat.... very interesting art work and I love the trees!! Would love to know how they made them..You always have some great and unique post..
Such great art! I really like the purse.
I really love those bells, so colorful and unique.
the rooster is fantastic but I would have no where to put it.
Great blog post today.

Not sure I'd have bought anything, but I like that rooster.
Oh, I would have to go with that red and white striped Christmas tree. I have a thing for candy canes. ; ) The journals are really cool too. And the bells are delightful. Such creative and artistic people. I would love to browse in here. And that quote says it all.
Have a pleasant week, Ginny.

Hi,
I would have purchased a few of the bells for my family as gifts. They caught my eye right away. :-)
The bows are unique too.

Please read my last post.
Much Love
I like the bells. I have 3 bells which I guess is a start of a collection. :)
I like those stained-glass Christmas trees.
So many beautiful craft art. Love it. Thanks for sharing with us.

I would be happy clicking my camera. Beautiful and creative hand made gifts.
Wonderful pics and I love the last one with the rooster and the sweet people in the reflection :)
Glass always gets me so I'd go for one of the glass Christmas trees! But I don't like being surveilled so I might just rebel and leave empty handed, haaaha! xoxo
