New! Dichroic Glass Jewelry by Susan Pratt-Smith

New in today, these are gorgeous pendants and earrings by Susan Pratt-Smith, an accomplished glass artist. In her lovely studio in rural Northwood, NH, Susan works with dichroic glass to make these powerful, elegant pieces that change color depending on the light and angle. They bring a vibrant energy into the shop, and few can resist their soulful charge.

The Curtain is Up!


The Curtain is Up!
Originally uploaded by amyshaw.
Last Sunday we finally installed a major piece in the shop -- the curtain dividing the shop area from the storage space. The curtain was made by local artisan Jennifer Lawrence (who also makes the fabulous pillows we carry) out of old blue men's shirts. (The tabs at the top are the collars!) It is soft and cool and greatly reduces the visual noise in the shop. We love it!
