Fall on the Coast brings beautiful days and lovely sunsets.
It is still warm enough for sailing and kayaking and for many of us it is our favorite time of the year.  We hope you'll come visit!

And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth,
"You owe me."
Look what happens with love like that.
It lights up the sky.

Celebrate American Craft!
American Craft Week October 5-14 is the third annual American Craft Week. American Craft is all about creating beauty in everyday life.  It is about tradition and innovation; about quality and good craftsmanship.  It is about valuing the creativity of our artists and craftsmen and supporting them in their endeavors.  It is about buying local, and knowing something about the hands that created the work.  At Handscapes Gallery, we celebrate American Craft every day, and hope you will, too.  To learn more, click on the logo.
