Some people put these on their pillow to lend an additional welcome to bedtime. Woodwork and moss art by Ros Harper and Jennifer Freesia bring the beauty of the natural world into the home. Although we cannot surpass the miracles nature has already made, we can draw attention to and celebrate them. Kris Egan shows impressive ceramic pieces glazed in a dusty blue and green range.

There are fused glass ornaments and tiny hand-painted, wool-wrapped sheep to perhaps festoon a houseplant if the cost of cut trees has become untenable. Creativity in the raw has no cost and it can be found in abundance at FBCA . Supporting local artisans represents support for hands and hearts. |
