Unique, Handmade Garden Art

I think we can safely say that Spring is here to stay! Now is the time to think about sprucing-up your outdoor spaces.
Here at The Gift Shop, we have fun and colorful choices for your yard / porch. Birdhouses, feather fish, birdbaths, toad houses, and metal sculptures to add that personal, artistic touch. We have hanging glass and metal dangles to add movement and sparkle to the garden.
And don't forget to add art to your porch or sunroom. Our 2D artists have created a wide array of choices for those wallspaces.

You will be spending more time in your outdoor spaces, why not add a touch of art, color, whimsy, and joy.

New Sports Print Artist

We have a new artist!
His name is Jeff Joseph, and his specialty is sports related paintings. We have prints created from his original oil paintings.
According to Jeff,  "My paintings are about the quiet moments of sports as well as the shifting and complex panorama of all sports".

These are really wonderful works of art. This could be the perfect time to pick out a Father's Day present!
