Give ART this Valentine's Day: Art Lasts Forever

Well it's almost that time of year again...Valentine's Day! In case you are still looking for some gift ideas, we've got you covered.Show a special someone or friend how much you care with lots of love, and maybe some art this year! This adorable felted mouse is ready to give someone a hug!


We always have a variety of cards, jewellery, prints and more that are affordable, unique and by local artists too! Check out this neat, upcycled way of giving the gift of flowers we've put together that is unique, earth friendly and just in time for VALENTINE'S DAY....take a read!

Once upon a time there was a fence. It was a very good fence doing fencey-like things, but one day it was time for the fence to retire.

What would become of the fence?!? "Wood" it become firewood or be left to decay....noooooo!

Or would it become ART! Yes! It became these ZERO WASTE beautiful floral vase wall holders made by Rachel Reeve shown below. Each one is handmade and different from the next, fashioned with an up-cycled test-tube vase and ready to hang on any wall with cut flowers, herb sprigs...whatever you like!



For just $50 you can pick up one of these beauties from us beginning Thursday, February 13th! We have a limited supply so if you'd like to secure one call us asap to put one aside for you! It includes packing and an enclosure card. We are filling each of these little vases with flowers and greenery from our neighbours down the street, The Flower Shop. 

Then after Valentine's day, use the the wall hanging all year long! It would be lovely to include in your outside garden or patio to display freshly cut garden flowers, at the office or  later in the year too at Christmas time, with sprigs of holly and red berries. 

Art gifts just keep giving and giving all year long!
