Actually, loving thoughts and gifts are in the Expressions Gallery this month – and just in time for Valentine’s Day! This year the holiday is on a Friday which means you have the next two weeks to select your gifts. Remember your spouse, partner, children, grandkids, and everyone else who brings joy to your life.
If you choose jewelry, think pearls this season. We have natural pearls, baroque pearls, and not so real pearls. Some of the necklaces and bracelets are mixed with stones or feature a stunning charm. Style this season includes layering, so mix your pearls with other strands for a unique look. We have a vast display of chain necklaces, stone creations, and semiprecious beads for you to choose from.
If you choose flowers, you’ll also need a special container available in glass or ceramic.
And, if you choose candy, then we have a great selection of plates and bowls in a variety of media from which to choose.
You can’t lose if you plan your Valentine’s Day shopping in the Gallery.
If you made a New Year’s resolution to explore new hobbies, you’re one month into 2020, so after shopping in the Gallery, check out the lists of clubs and classes available to join. Actually, paying the fee for a loved one’s class is a creative way to provide an unusual gift.
Here’s a heads up for you – the annual Tucson Gem and Mineral show (largest in the world) is held at the beginning of this month. So, in the upcoming months you’ll share the artisans’ excitement as they incorporate new stones and materials into their craft. Looking forward to seeing you soon and in the near future!
Expressions Gallery and Gift Shop is located inside the Creative Arts Center at Tuscany Falls, south of the Toscana’s Restaurant. It is open Monday-Saturday 9 a.m.-4 p.m. and closed for lunch from 12:30-1 p.m.
