Preparing for the season

The holidays and busy season are rapidly approaching, and we are preparing lots of items that are perfect for gifting and for helping you prepare for your holidays. 

Mark is making miniature ceramic houses that can be lit from within and arranged to create a holiday scene. He has also made smaller items that can be hung from tree branches. For gifting, he has created a line of jewelry that includes Key West-inspired necklaces, pendants, and earrings. For parties and hostess gifts, there are wine chillers, platters, and bowls. For visitors, there are affordable mugs, demitasses, and cups to remind them of the great time they had in Key West. And for your pets there are colorful bowls and dishes.

Besides the Key West-inspired lines, Mark has been working on a premium line with beautiful colors, streamlined shapes, and rustic textures. These functional pieces, including mugs, cups, plates, bowls, platters, and dishes, make a perfect addition for your home (and a great gift for yourself).

Sarah has introduced a line of affordable Key West-inspired photographs mounted on neoprene backing. Depicting recognizable scenes around the island, the prints are a great take-home gift for your visitors. She has also been creating packets of note cards and seasonal cards. 

Our seasonal ads will start appearing soon in the catalogs and playbills of organizations that we love to support, including The Studios of Key West, The Key West Insiders Guide, The Key West Art Guide, The Red Barn Theatre, The Key West Theater, Tennessee Williams Theatre, and the Waterfront Playhouse. We hope that you get a chance to support these organizations and the artists they represent as well.

We are participating in Walk on White on Thursday, October 17 from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. Drop by for a glass of wine, fun conversation, and a preview of all the great things we are preparing for the season!

We’re getting ready!
