We are MOVING!


It's been a while since I've updated - we have been pretty darn busy fixing up our NEW gallery space! It's been a whirlwind of building permits, trips to the hardware store, painting, building, and staining!


Our new space is 15 blocks north of our current location. It's at the Lakewood Colonial Center and our new address is 9514D Gravelly Lake Dr. SW.


We had intended to downsize our current space and ran into some roadblocks so we ultimately decided to make the move! After 51 years in this location it was a tough choice. But...we are really excited to start fresh with a brand new space, designed and decorated exactly how we choose.


We are hoping to be open in the new space on Sept. 15th, however with permits, utilities changovers and more we are leaning more toward the following weekend....we'll see, and we'll keep you updated....


Thank you to all of our loyal customers who have been so supportive all these years in this space, we are so excited for you to see how the new one will look! Plan on visiting us sometime between the 15th and 30th of this month!

Going to the beach!


We will be CLOSED on Monday, July 25 so that Jan and I can have a little getaway! Not only do we work together, but we are also great friends so I'm really looking forward to this trip.


We're heading out to the coast, to Ocean Shores, just for one night. We've already talked about spending the time playing cards, watching movies, Scrabble...and maybe a couple of margaritas! It'll just be total girl time. I've heard the Olympia Farmer's Market is great too, so we may stop there on the way.

So...don't come in looking for us on Monday, we won't be here!
Holly

P.S. They don't allow dogs at the condo - so no Lulu on girls' weekend :(

Free Wysocki


We are looking for a few great projects....

You ALL have great projects! We love to hear the stories behind the framing, now it's time to share them with everyone. Whether it's the violin bow from your Grandpa, or the Thai tapestry you brought back from a vacation, or photos you found in your great-aunt's things... we want to share your story with people who visit our website!

Bring in your project and tell us your story to be featured on our website, and we'll enter you in a drawing to win a FREE framed Montana de Oro cat image by Charles Wysocki.

Scavenger Art

The Gallery welcomes its newest artist, Mark Orr.
Mark's company "Scavenger Art" centers around
the raven's reputation as a gatherer of found
objects. The keys they hold symbolize change and new beginnings and the billiard balls are balance in our lives. We are very excited to represent these very striking hand carved pieces. Priced from $130 - $190, these are sure to fit beautifully with your "found" objects.

Janet Nelson


Great little images from our new artist - Janet Nelson. These originals are quaint and affordable at
$65 - $95.


Lulu's Corner

Some of you may not know our sweet little Lulu, she is our mascot here at the gallery. A rescued Chihuahua, she now spends most of her time sleeping in the office. What has she been doing back there? It turns out - studying all of our materials regarding art and design! Watch for her updates on the tips of the trade...and if you happen to be in the area, stop by and say hello to Lulu. She's sure to have her little nose in a book somewhere...

P.S. Lulu doesn't work all the time - pictures to come of her latest boating vacation...wearing her life vest of course!
