More Handpainted Leather Handbags.....

We got more of Lyn Lyndall's fantastic leather handbags in. A smaller size than the others we carry with cats, crows and dogs hand painted on the front. The new bags have all the detailed stitching and embellishments that make Lyn's bags so unique!

Wood

Maple, cherry, walnut, oak-what compares to the enduring luster and beauty of wood skillfully carved or worked? From a simple block of wood, it takes the carver's art and vision to release a soaring eagle or delicate birds that look as if they might take flight. Boxes, crafted to hold treasures, are, of themselves, works of art. Unique vases that capture the natural beauty of a burl, delicately carved woodland creatures or walking sticks carved in the finest Appalachian tradition bring one of nature's most abundant materials to life.

Our wood artists include:
Phil Capper
Lowell Mosley
Jerry Crowe
Phil Brown
Chris Kamm
Ian Hunter
Steve Duncan
Richard D. Moore
David Koleshis
Jonathan's Spoons
