A Few of my Favorite Things - REPOST

We are running out of time – I really think each year we have less and less time between Thanksgiving and Christmas!  Don’t you? I mean, I KNOW there are about the same number of days, but sometimes it just seems like we have less each year. 

I keep having friends ask me, “What do you have up in your shop that you would give as a gift for someone who (INSERT WHAT EVER HERE!)”.  I have only been stumped once.  And they were much more specific…ok, I have to share, because it is just too funny!

Kendall: Thanks for calling ARTifacts, this is Kendall.
Customer:  Yeah, I really need to find a special gift for a family member.  Do you have any wood or metal trouts?
Kendall:  Wood….or….metal….trouts….that is a good one.  Nope, sorry – can’t help you at all!!

True story.  They wanted a wood or metal TROUT.

Anywhoo – here are the answers to everyone that has ever asked me that question (minus the trout lady – wish I could have helped her!!)

 

YOu can go to the photo gallery for a complete description of these items on my list of a Few of my favorite things!!

What are you favorites at ARTifacts? I will share photos, just tell me!

See you downtown!

Bob "the Builder" - Featured Vendor

Bob "the Builder" Williams designs and builds just about anything you may need! Currently his booth has all kinds of benches, side & end tables. I sold a bench to a lady the other day that was so excited about putting it next to her potting shed so people can visit with her while she is potting plants and working in her garden.

Bob also has a couple pieces that are old headboards and other old salvaged pieces that he re-purposes and make into a new piece just for you.
He also will do custom pieces.
The photo shows one of his benches - most of which have a slot cut out on the top for easy picking up and moving it around. Of course, we have to talk about the beautiful headboard bench that is painted white. This particular piece would look great in a long hallway or at the base of a queen size bed. I love it.


Bob's daughter, Jillian, also features her photographs in this booth. Jill uses images -mostly from Venice - and manipulates them creating truly intriguing images - they are just beautiful. Jill also does an amazing job framing her pieces - many have very unusual mats and frames that really highlight the art inside the frames.
Come see what pieces Bob & Jillian have in their booth right now.
