What I love about
Valerie's Gallery is the variety of fine
American craftwork, mostly from local
artists. I own two of these beautiful
heart-shaped glasses made in MA. This one
hangs right above our kitchen-sink window,
overlooking the marsh. It's so pretty, one
can almost ignore the dirty dishes! :) |
My husband and I
love collecting Matthew Smith prints! By
clustering a few frames on the mantel as
well as on the wall, we've created a
charming sea-life theme. Beautiful. Simple.
Elegant. |
On a magical
evening after my first date with my now
husband Jim, I found a feather stuck to my
sweater. Nine years later, I have kept that
feather (as well as Jim :). Today, it is
encased in glass, along with a sprinkling of
heart charms cast in pewter by Vilmain.
Again, Valerie's personal service and
special ordering helped me make a simple
treasure into one of my most precious
keepsakes. |
Pewter photo stand and two paperweights--I'm
so happy that Valerie sells the elegant
Vilmain pewters. You can even make special
orders through her store. I have a
collection of Vilmain paperweights and they
are the first to greet me as I open my
desk-hutch. With such whimsical, inspiring
and functional design, I call them my
"mini-gallery" for the home office. |
