Designs and Custom Painting

All of the designs in our shop are handpainted by local artists. Many of our canvases feature original, exclusive designs. Our canvases range from Christmas stockings to large designs suitable for framing to specialty canvases such as eyeglasses cases, scissors cases, and brick covers. We also feature a large selection of ornaments appropriate for Christmas or year round. With each purchase, we will help you select the right kind, color, and amount of thread to complete your project.
