This is the season of harvest, change and preparing for the coming colder weather. Although leaves fall off trees leaving them bare and plants go dormant or die off, these changes allow nature to build up energy for the coming Spring.

Artisans showing in the gallery store do not have to follow the theme in the gallery, but instead should think seasonally including handmade ornaments for our 6 foot tree as well as holiday home décor items. This is also the season of gift giving so in addition to holiday items consider creating pieces that can be given as special gifts during the various celebrations of the season. Remember the gallery store carries clothing & accessories for both children and adults; toys, children’s books, pottery and ceramics, woodworking items, glass home decor pieces both stained and fused, cards and stationery, jewelry, etc.
