Art makes a wonderful gift

a view of my booth


















This past weekend was the Phinney Winter Festival - always one of my favorite art events!  There were so many wonderful artisans...here are just a few of many that caught my eye...

Patsy Design Studios shares my love of buttons...I was fascinated by all the configurations...
























You rock! paper goods had darling notecards...





















FCF Creations had touchable/textural felted purses...


























BeMused Creations had charming pendants using old watch face cases to profile an eclectic assemblage of gears, beads and findings.

















Even if you don't live in the Seattle area, there are artisans in your hometown who would love to show their work to you - a local art center or art supply store should be able to put you in touch.  Supporting local artists strengthens your community...and ensures that your gift will be one of a kind!

worth a look...
