My first blog

Well, I made it, I am a blogger. Well, I am at least a blogger in training.

Come see what Fresh means to me...it is a gallery that has wonderful handcrafted art and craft from artists around the USA and Canada. ...it is a shop selling fun pieces manufactured here and abroad as well as funky re-purposed and vintage stuff and it is a studio where people of all ages get to play with the idea of art.
