We have a veritable cornucopia of colors of one of our all time favorite items from Lacey Potts Studio - the Chickadee bud vase! 

As of today we are restocked with two full rainbow rows on our shelves, but give us a call or come on over to check them out for availability if you see something your heart desires! 

Happy Holidays! With an upcoming cold winter, nothing compares to a warm fire and the glow of Gold Jewelry. The best way to end a day full of winter festivities is to get comfortable by the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa. Our Gold jewelry collection sparkles in the firelight beautifully, contributing to cozy winter moments. All of the following jewelry pieces would make wonderful sentimental gifts! Give your loved ones a little sparkle and warmth this winter:

You'd think as a gift giver or a recipient who is all business when it comes to gifts that a gallery might not be the place to shop - but thats not so with a place like Harvest Gold! Since we carry such an array of American made arts and crafts, business and pleasure are able to blend into some truly timeless, well made and impeccably crafted items that can be useful too! 

just a small selection includes:

• Kitchen tools made by Bill Housley, including but not limited to these colored ply and stainless steel ice cream scoop and pizza cutter.
• Silk scarves, which can be worn traditionally, or as a bandana, hair scarf, or bag tie, made by maple Sugar Studios.
• Drinking Glasses, sweet and simple salt and pepper shakers, and wooden trivets made by various artists.
• expert mode? A collection of tools handmade by various artists, inside of a handcrafted vessel, such as this one from Lacey Pots studio. What a great housewarming or holiday gift for the young couple?

In this post we have - SILVER - all works crafted by Bill and Lynda and in stock and ready to wear. A timeless favorite, and reminiscent of winter frosts and ice, you can't go wrong with silver. 

• Silver dangle earrings with inlaid pearls
• 
• Harvest Gold hammered Bangles in various textures
• 
• Dome studs, a classic and timeless piece that can skew modern or vintage depending on styling! 

Part Four - LOONS! 

are loons enough to warrant their own section of the gift guide? The sheer frequency of their appearance in our arts and crafts, as well as the beloved seeking of them by our customer base says yes. y'all love Loons, who are we to stand in your way? 

• Framed rug hooking by Arlene Tift
• Ric Eland's mother and chick loon relief
• A delightful magnetic storage or jewelry box(particularly perfect for travel) from Made and Assembled 
• Clinton Jones's steel metal works, large loon pictured here (we have more than one!) 

Loons or divers are a group of aquatic birds found in much of North America and northern Eurasia. All living species of loons are members of the genus Gavia, family Gaviidae and order Gaviiformes.  The common loon is the provincial bird of Ontario and is depicted on the Canadian one-dollar coin, which has come to be known affectionately as the "loonie".

But you probably knew all of that, as around here we exitedly swap stories of watching them nest, and the rare treat it is to see a baby loon. Why not memorialize that with some great art? 

Not only are Lynda and Bill skilled Goldsmiths that can craft custom pieces, and melt family gold into new creations - they also have a pretty splendid line of their own, many pieces of which we carry in shop on the daily, just waiting for their forever homes. 

In this post we have - GOLD - all works crafted by Bill and Lynda and in stock and ready to wear. For that special someone, dear friend, or fabulous person in your life: 

• Harvest Gold cuff with Maine Tourmaline, paired with assistant Natalie's heirloom vintage stack 
• Studs and Dangles! 
  

As a woman (Natalie writing this) There is seldom a more welcome holiday or occasion gift than a pair of beautiful handcrafted earrings that a loved one bought. Its a lovely thing to look at the plethora of shapes, sizes, textures, patinas and more and say, "I picked these out for you because..." having someone see something beautiful and notice that it might suit you because its the metal you wear most, a shape you favor, or something they simply think would look beautiful on you is a wonderful gift for your partner, friend, or even mother in law. Not to mention, they'll think of your thoughtfulness every time they put them on! I am especially fond of the white gold flower studs pictured below. What a better way to bring some life back into winter than a statement flower earring? 

Still planning to get engaged this winter? Boy do we have the rings for you! 

• like this one of a kind Gold and Maine Tourmaline ring in green still available - when its gone there will never be another exactly like it. That sounds romantic enough to me! Another Stunning one of a kind ring by lynda, and below, a veritable cornucopia of rings we have on offer: 
  

The holidays are approaching, or, if nothing else, a long dark winter where treating yourself might be just the ticket to the winter blues... Here at Harvest Gold we are known for stellar custom jewelry wares, but we also have an amazing shop full of ready to wear, display, and use items that are perfect for gifts - no matter how stumped you are or where your budget falls! 

First on the list: Small and shippable items you can bet will make their journey to your far away destinations: 

• Wood turned Bowls and Urns from Bill Housely - instant style to storage and display!
• 
• A myriad of small and beautiful nature watercolors from Tom Merriam. Fond of any type of bird Tom has probably painted it, and we probably have it too! 
• 
• Glass bowls, cups, and ashtrays, and even salt and pepper shakers from our celebrated glass works studios of Tom Stoenner and Little River Hot Glass Studio.
• 
• Kristen Dill's imaginative and semi-abstract botanical oils - in every size under the sun down to 6x6 inches!

We had a great time with the folks from Lonely Planet yesterday, who came in to see us as a destination and to get a special inside view of Lynda at work at her bench jewelry making - a rare treat! 

We're going to give you blog goers the same inside view here! Pictured is of course our own lovely Lynda, along with photos of her bench where she makes all of her jewelry. As you can see these are some in progress shots with some gorgeous local tourmalines out ready to be expertly set for your next jewelry pieces.
