Gifts with Disney Characters!

Is there someone on your gift list that will not be happy without a certain beloved Disney character on a present? Is this a test of your hunting ability or love, finding that very exacting item???

You could go all through the malls and never find that specificaly "ordered" gift! We have a better idea. LOOK HERE. What is really nice about this Zazzle online store is that there are so many Disney characters from dozens of stories. You can pick the character you want as well as the kind, size and color of the shirt you want to create. There are also mugs. Doesn't that sound fantastic!?!?!

And in case that is not enough to make you rarin' to shop, you can also add a bit of text--in your choice of font, size and color--and move it around on the shirt! You can "make" unique gift items for the person who is so exacting and hard to please! We won't let on how you did it either....this website can be our secret!

Everyone love a "homemade" gift and something unique. You can make your gifts, too!

Those Special Hard-to-Find Gifts

Where can you find a unique gift that is useful, beautiful and does not break the bank?? That may be a tall order, but we think there is a way. We found a website with a large selection of items in just two product categories—that makes deciding a bit easier we discovered. LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THIS WEBSITE.

Here you will find small wire-bound books which can make perfect notebooks, sketchbooks or journals. They have gorgeous cover art and have been created by many different artists. The images tend to be nautical and include boats, sailing, beaches, sunsets, bridges, lighthouses, and some shore birds. Here's an inexpensive gift most anyone would enjoy!

Also, take a look at the page of tiled wooden boxes. HERE THEY ARE. There is really no way to describe the beauty of these wooden boxes, lined in velvet, and with gorgeous colorful tile inserts. You can select either a mahogany or black finish and see what they look like online, too. These boxes have been used as gift holders, gifts in themselves, keepsake boxes, jewelry boxes, you name it!

The items at EdgewaterGallery are created by many artists. What they have in common is that they are all printed by Cafepress. You can save $5 off a $50 order through 12/24 by using a coupon code of SAVEGAS.

Man and Dog Fishing

Featured art is Man and Dog Fishing by Kurt Lischka

Here's an image for someone who loves fishing in the surf, perhaps with a four-legged companion. The soothing colors are offset by the somewhat turbulent waters. But none of that means much to this happy pair who are not bothered by a thing.

Three Boats Waiting

Featured art, Three Boats Waiting by Michael Bond

There is no need to love fishing to appreciate the upbeat mood created by these stunningly colorful fishing boats. They seem so enthusiatic and that is amplified with their equally colorful reflections. There is a childlike honestly and sense of security these boats convey; there is no storm they fear!

Schooner Views Landscape Rockport Harbor

Today's featured art is Schooner Views landscape Rockport Harbor by Jennifer Hakkarainen

Whatever the season, this scene of the docks and schooner will probably change very little. Seeing the rigging, I can almost hear the creaking of the old masts and the squeaking of the old tire squeezed between the dock and ship. This image captures to pull we feel toward the sea and sailing but also the reality of our land-based lives as the red buildings attest.

shelter

This week's featured art is shelter by Peter Blottman

There is something calm and reassuring in this image of small boats waiting patiently for their next time to fish. The deep reflections and little shack seem to echo the lapping sound of the waves. This image brings some calm to me when I look at it.

Artwork and Images of Note

This week's featured art is Abstract Sunset by Lehane Corley McCourt

Abstract Sunset is an image that speaks to me in its chaos. There is the possiblity of dark clouds and storms as well as bright sunshine and light color. In its ambiguity one can ponder whether the storm clouds are moving away or closing in. The movement, change and uncertainty shown here reflect the reality of every day.
