Gift Show

Well I'm back after a bit of an absence. umm I was out sick. (I hate summer colds)

Mom, Pam and I want to the Orlando Gift Show Monday and yesterday. Mom was there to restock on some popular items for the store as well as find anything new that might fit in. I restocked up on some new beads and found a few new suppliers, so keep an eye out for new designs.

Pam, is a new member to the family at the gallery. She will be bringing in a fantastic new line of Fragrance Beads made right here in Florida. We all fell in love with scents and Pam ordered a small sample of the best sellers.

So stop by the store to check them out, they should be in by next Monday. Heck you should stop by the store over the next few weeks to see all that we found as they come in. More on Pam in my next blog.

See Ya then.

As I noted before, I'm back with some more information about some of the artists in our gallery. I do want to focus more on the others before I give you more information on mom, Bill and myself. So here I go with the first of many.

We here at the Riverside Gallery we present Barb and Paul Pellerin of Homosassa.

Barbara and Paul's colorful works are very familiar to many of us that attend local festivals and craft shows. Paul is always busy (under Barb's watchful eye) cutting birds, flamingos, manatees and so much more. When he is done with his master woodwork it all gets handed over to Barb.

Barb then performs a bit of magic on her own with a brush and a touch of imagination. Barabara's talents go to great lengths with fine detail on lighted bottles, driftwood pieces, shell designs and fantastic nautical decor.

She enjoys creating holiday themed items from fall to Christmas. She already has a great selection in the gallery. You're sure to fall in love with her beautiful work and eye for detail. One of the great things about some of her ornaments is that she uses recycled items like old light bulbs, wooden clothespins and much more.

To see some of Barb and Paul's work check out the "B & P Originals" page, or better yet stop into the store and see everything they have for you to enjoy.
