More new products on the website including this lovely 3 foot quarter-moon welcome sign, created as a custom order for a lady in New York. I've updated the website to include it as a regular, made-to-order item.

More stores you can find our products at include the Zig Zag Gallery in Dayton Ohio, Art For the Soul in Balboa California, Namaste Head to Toe in Sherwood Park Alberta and The Back Porch in Nashville, Indiana.

Still waiting for summer to arrive up here on the rainy west coast. Maybe it's a good thing though, if it was sunnier I'd be spending more time on the beach and less time in the shop. Who would blame me, this is a photo of Rathtrevor Beach in Parksville where I live and work, photo courtesy Vingo.ca your guide to Vancouver Island Life.
