 Local Artist Spotlight:
Armine Yergat
 
Armine blue thread necklace and bracelet set
 
Armine Yergat's eyecatching thread jewelry & scarves are an Artisans mainstay. Her multistrand  thread & bead necklaces come in a multitude of vibrantly variegated colorways to suit any ensemble & are adjustable for further versatility. Once you've picked up one, you're sure to come back for more, plus they're attractively priced for gift giving.

O3M: Out of Our Minds

 O3M dichroic and iridised glass bowls

Yes, that's really what they call their company! They took the leap and we're glad they did. From simple fused glass jewelry, Barbara Koffer & Sam Schmer have expanded into larger, more complex tabletop items that are slumped as well as fused. The glass is textured & luminescent, with accents of stunning dichroic glass. They are works of art that can be proudly displayed when not being used for serving.

Greetings!  

 

Happy New Year! 

  

A quick heads up: there are four days we'll be closed for the New Year's holiday & our annual inventory, so the return & exchange period for gifts extends to January 15th. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience our "down" days cause. We'd really rather be serving you than counting every item in the store!


Thank you for your patronage during 2010, & we look forward to serving you again in '11.

 

Inventory Time
Tedious but Necessary

We'll segue from the New Year's holiday right into our Physical Inventory, so we'll be closed starting at
4pm on the 31st & remain closed through the 4th of January. If we are able to finish early & open sooner, it will be announced on the Blog.

Time to Restock the Store 
New York Gift Show
The holidays did it again: our once-laden shelves & racks are depleted and now it's time for us to shop again. We're off to the Big Apple twice this month for important accessory & gift fairs, with plans to attend the best North American handmade-only market in mid-February.
 
One of the advantages of patronizing independent stores like ours is the knowledge that you, our customer, has a voice that we listen to & respect. If you ever come across an artist you feel we should represent or a clothing or gift line that you'd love to see in McLean, feel free to shoot us an email with your suggestions. We'd also like to hear from you with any general feedback about our selection or service during the past year.
