AUGUST is here and brings some improvements



The start of a new month and the reports to the participating artists are due. Today a customer told me that they saw the sign on the highway but couldn’t find the gallery on DK. Sounds like we need more signage on County Road DK, which brought a thought back to mind. The Tornado Tavern Gallery is a gift shop but has a spiritual “flavor” to it that isn’t said in our promotions. This will become more important as the spiritual side of the gallery grows. We don’t want to be limited to a “metaphysical shop” but we do want to promote the spiritual side of our products. Such as the “made to order” talismans, the witch globes, the wands. And we are very pleased to offer the tarot cards designed and beautifully painted by Julie Cuccia-Watts, including her latest MAAT TAROT deck.



So, the main page of the blog has been changed to “GIFTS for the BODY & the SPIRIT”. We will also be adding a sign on the building declaring that this is the Tornado Tavern Gallery and that we offer “GIFTS for the BODY & the SPIRIT”. Pictures to come when the signs are mounted on the building.
The other thought was that initially the customers came while we were closed. So we will post a sign on the door with our hours.

We may have a new artist joining us she is a bead weaver. She makes quite spectacular jewelry by weaving small beads, items like necklaces, broaches, and bracelets. If we finalize things I will post her items in a few weeks.

THE VINTAGE SECTION IS FILLING UP!




The restored vintage jewelry is available for sale including earrings, necklaces, hat pins and broaches. Prices are low and might be very desirable to those who like the steampunk look.


 





The restored jewelry has been joined with a large selection of leaded glass panels mostly removed from old houses that were being torn down. We have both brass and zinc finishes. None of the panels have been modified but if you want to use them as sun catchers. We can add hangers to any of them, if you like.
 










We also offer other vintage items such as tiles and copper items.
