Handmade gifts & shopping local

When you purchase a gift certificate for a loved one you are doing both; gifting a loved one an experience of learning new skills, making their own jewelry, glass art, functional items or just plain whimsy! And you’ve in turn helped a local independently run (artist) business continue to grow & thrive.
