Dear Friends,
As we move further into the year, we are all challenged when spending our money to
find items that have value and that last.
We promise you that everything we buy for Hanson Galleries has been measured with these qualities in mind. The hand-crafted work we offer always has more intrinsic value than an imported widget. Buying from us keeps jobs in the US.
Many of our artists were trailblazers in the green movement and continually tell us about their efforts on the Earth's behalf. With this in mind, we hope if you don't really need a box or a bag, that you tell us. Every little thing helps.
Thank you for thinking of us for your Valentine cards and gifts. Hope to see you soon. |

Sincerely,
Art, Donna and Larry and all your Hanson Galleries staff. |
We just received these heart-shaped Ikebanas hand-blown by glass artist Michelle Weston. Available in pretty colors, they look great with minimally arranged flowers. 
Laura Frank fashions this sterling silver necklace using garnet beads and an amethyst drop. Her design is reminiscent of a butterfly. Remember February's birthstone is amethyst! 
Speaking of butterfly wings, we have just received a shipment of the jewelry from Juile...our favorite artist using them. But we were very excited last week to find this new artist who combines several wings in one piece making small mosaics. As with all our butterfly wing jewelry, the butterflys have already expired before collecting and being made into jewelry. The Natalini's are from Pennsylvania.
