About Us

I sold my first piece of American craft in 1977.  It was a set of pottery wine goblets and my shop was a bookstore!  Over 30 years later my love of "Handmade in America " has led me to become a showcase for artists and artisans from across the USA and Canada.

I love the interaction with amazing artists who create beautiful things for all of us to enjoy. I also enjoy showing these works to my appreciative customers who constantly compliment me on my variety and presentation.

If you ever visit the beautiful Brunswick Islands of southeastern North Carolina (between Myrtle Beach, SC and Wilmington, NC) be sure to stop in and see for yourself one of the best collections of fine art and crafts in the USA.  I look forward to seeing you and showing you why...."I'm a certified retail therapist specializing in instant gratification."
