Spring is in the air

The amaryllis flowers that Lynda's grandmom gave me thirty years ago in Coral Gables Florida have made it another year and are beginning to bloom, what was 3 has become over 50. Lynda has been busy this winter creating beautiful pieces of jewelry in our shop like this Amethyst and diamond ring.

This silver lady slipper earring represents the state flower of New Hampshire. Soon they can be found nestled on the forest floor.

Mahina is wearing the silver loon pendant and pine tree earrings here. When the snow melts away and Kezar lake is thawed of winter ice the loons will return from their winter migration on the coast of Maine. They will lay their eggs, raise the hatchlings, and cry out their familiar songs through out the summer.

Bill has been busy in the studio this winter too. These sterling silver leaf earrings are new to the collection.

Bill has also created a new line of silver cuff bracelets. This wave bracelet is hand hammered giving it a beautiful textured finish and is flexible to put on and off easily and comfortable to wear.

Gold is always in season at Harvest Gold Gallery. Mahina is modeling a gorgeous neckpiece hand forged in 14k and springy 14k gold hoop earrings, classic designs for the classy chic.

Come visit the Harvest Gold Gallery in beautiful downtown Center Lovell, Maine overlooking Kezar Lake and the White Mountains.

Shopping in Philadelphia

We went to Philadelphia last week to see what  is new at the Buyers Market of American Crafts. Its fun to see some city life after being in the Maine woods.

 A walk from our hotel takes us through Redding Market and terminal and on into the convention center filled with artists and their works.

 Lynda and I found Don Drumm and Cricket Forge sculpture exhibit and got to talk with Don and staff about his work. We've carried their work in the gallery for 16 years. Both companies offer artistic sculpture for indoors and outdoors. Don Drumm uses Francis Vega's Cricket Forge shop to make some of his designs. He creates whimsical sculpture and functional kitchen wares. Francis's work is more representational designs in metal for the garden and home.

 We also visited with Diane Kline at the show. Her acrylic floral paintings are featured in our gallery, and at Arabica coffee shop in Portland Maine. Diane,s "Poppies" is a beautiful impression, giving the feeling of spring just around the corner.

  Diane has some new figure paintings on exhibit at the show this year.
 We spent three days looking over the show ordering new items from familiar artists and discovering new artists to present at Harvest Gold Gallery in 2013.

 See you again Phili :)
