I just got back from another successful buying trip.  This time I headed further south to Baltimore, where the temperature was slightly warmer with hardly any snow left on the ground. It was enough to make me smile :)

Rossheim & Marrinson
The American Craft Council show was great.  I reordered from our favorites such as Anne Sportun, Scott Pernicka and Studio Paran.  I rediscovered Rossheim and Marrinson, whose beautiful work we represented at the gallery in the past.  Their ceramic vessels with their bold colors, simple forms, and textures will brighten up your day! 


Mark Gardner
The new comers to the gallery from this show include Mark Gardner and David Levy.  Mark makes wooden salad bowls with milk paint finishes that are simple and modern.  David creates a line of game boards such as dominoes, backgammon, and cribbage. I've been in search of wooden bowls and games for a long time, so it was great to find them both.  I'm very excited that they are joining the dmg family!

To your heart's content

I love hearts.  The shape, the colors {pink and red} often associated with them, and their sweet symbolic meaning.  Here are some of my favorite "hearts" at the dmg, just in time for Valentine's Day!

Just in are these charming glass heart-shaped paperweights by Bob Burch.  Bob's been blowing glass since 1971 and his pieces are works of outstanding artistry.  The hearts are available in various sizes and colors.  A beautiful choice for that special someone in your life!

 
Also in stock are Liz Ryan's sterling silver envelope necklaces with hearts, which can be customized with your personal  message engraved on the back.  We also carry her heart studs and rings for added sweetness
 
And how about popping the question this Valentine's Day with MaeVona's Iris ring with the heart-shaped prongs?  Yes, I said "heart-shaped" prongs!  What better way to say "I love you" than with a diamond engagement ring surrounded by hearts?

As you can see, we have lots of ideas on how you can say "I love you" this Valentine's Day!  See you soon <3 <3 <3
