existing galleries or art & craft shops.
We specialize in selling only hand made items such as jewelry,
pottery, glass craft, wood craft, leather craft, paper craft, clothes,
bags and toys and many others.

If you have a christmas pattern for sale / lend / donation please let me know. It seems that there are many people out there looking for them, and the more tacky the better seems to be the way.
Please let me know so I can pass it on
Thanks
