Expressions Gallery – timed out

Sherry Blatner

Did you know that the crafts available in the Gallery are under a two-month window for sale? At the beginning of each month our wonderful volunteers rearrange the displays, remove items that are timed-out and install new pieces. If you visit one month and think you’ve seen it all, wrong. Stop by again the next month for a refreshed gift selection.

Really new – a Mermaid Cocoon to swaddle a newborn. One of our super talented artisans has crocheted these adorable cocoons. Seeing a baby mermaid in PebbleCreek is almost like seeing a desert mirage.

Have young boys visiting this summer? If they’re wannabe rock hounds, there is a large selection of polished agates for them to hunt through. It’s a perfect souvenir to remember their perfect visit to PebbleCreek. Or, you may choose to purchase a pre-selected bag of polished stones to enhance vases and displays in your home.

Ladies, is the heat getting to you; ready to pull your hair out? Don’t. Purchase a colorfully crocheted scrunchie for your pony tail or purchase several in a wide array of colors. Scrunchies are wonderful gift items for girls of any age and can even be hoarded for use as stocking stuffers this winter.

If you’ll be escaping the heat and staying with someone in cooler climes, don’t forget a hand-crafted hostess gift. Choose from a wonderful array of small ceramic and glass plates, candy dishes and bowls. You may even garner an invite for a second visit. With each gift item purchased, a free gift card and gift wrap is offered.

Staying in touch with friends and neighbors out of town for the summer? The Gallery has a beautiful array of handmade cards for every occasion. Some of the artists have even created boxed note cards featuring their artwork leaving you to express your personal regards.

Starting to wonder if you have any creative flare? Take time out to sign up for a class this summer during your visits to the Gallery.
