WINE TASTING WITH MARY RIMMAN

Mary from Rimman's Liquor brought considerable holiday cheer in the form of delicious wines from local wineries. Shoppers were able to taste and order those they liked at a discount while shopping at the Holiday Gift Open House. Many thanks to Mary for a very fun afternoon!

Glassware artist Kay Young was on hand to sign customer purchases of her colorful glassware. She offers a great selection of beautiful hand-painted glasses which serve as the perfect compliment to the wines available. These are on sale right now at the Holiday Gift Open House.


KAREN'S MAGNETIC ORNAMENT

Karen Skillett has made wonderful magnet boards for this year's Holiday Gift Open House. She just brought in these terrific ornaments featuring four little magnets on a metal base. You can use the holiday image that comes with it or replace it with a favorite photo. This is a perfect gift idea for family and friends and looks great on the Christmas tree!

GUEST ARTIST - ROSE MARIE DAMMANN

From the time of her very first class in lampworking (glass bead making), Rose Marie was hooked. On weekends you will find her hunched over her torch happily melting glass. When she’s not working with glass, she enjoys creating in many other mediums, making felt pincushions is her current passion. Rose Marie is an excellent craftsperson and a top-notch designer. Note the precision and the beautiful design she achieves in each of these beautiful handmade beads. She's always had a strong love for color which is evident in her work.

GUEST ARTIST - LYNN BAXLEY

Lynn has been working in clay for quite awhile but lately has been having a yen for fiber. The logical transition was to press fiber into clay. She discovered that weavings and crochet and lace make wonderful impressions in the clay surface. Now she has a whole new range of textures to explore!

Ceramic Wall Pockets

Lynn joined us for the first time at our Hollyhock Days sale in spring of this year. She offered beautiful ceramic orbs for use inside and out. For Heaven and Nature Sing, Lynn has picked up the theme of leaves and stars on these wonderful ceramic balls that make really cool votive or tea light holders.
