    Oh, my! Brenda Griffith's glass pieces are gorgeous. I am particularly drawn to her Balance piece. But I would have to redo my entire home -- including buying a new one -- to have the proper place to display such lovely art.

    I am looking for American made products as we all are. On your site you list pressure cookers that are made in WI. Quickly I looked since I do wish to have such an item. When I scrolled down to see the cost of the cooker, it was clearly listed as:
    MADE IN CHINA
    Perhaps this was an oversight on your part, or perhaps some are or are not made in America, just thought I would let you know.

    What a fantastic website! Truly, there are some extremely talented artists. And what an incredible place to find those one of a kind gifts for the person who has everything. My favorite artist is Lucinda Moran and the item I love most is her Layered Pearl Flower Medallion Necklace. It took my breath away when I saw it. Such a stunning piece. Thank you so much for introducing this website of artists and their work to us and for the opportunity to enter.
