Seeds of Thought

Guest artist Ellen Sachtschale

calls her organic ceramic creations

       'Seeds of Thought' (larger, with bead)

and

'Seeds of Gratitude' (smaller, sans-bead).

Seeds of Gratitude

Each seed comes with ribbon of

artisan paper, wound around

cinnamon stick, upon which you 

can write notes of thanks and support 

to special folks in your life.

A portion of proceeds from your purchase

goes toward meals for the hungry.

Bling 'n' Things

Owlaroos by Mary Stanley

Well, with school back in session, or about to be depending on where you live, you might be feeling a bit down in the dumps. Or overjoyed, depending on your point of view... EITHER WAY, we all deserve a special treat to mark the occasion.

If not for yourself, maybe a special back-to-school gift for a special daughter/niece/grand-daughter?

Art Hus has a stable of jewelry makers with surprisingly diverse styles, and they've been very busy this summer, decking out the new jewelry cases. Our current selection of bling covers a wide spectrum, from elegant, to casual, to girls-just-wanna-have-fun!
