Gallery Reception for James Craig, Esq
Craig James, a somewhat self-proclaimed artist is a native of rural eastern North Carolina. He believes growing up in rural eastern North Carolina was the driving force behind his creative mind. He watched members of the community whittling, quilting, building, and fabricating so many things. Now he understands, that in the small town of Maple Hill, North Carolina, he was watching artists creating works of art. As an adult, he found himself carving on sticks and later doing steampunk pieces. In 2008 he painted his first acrylic on canvas. He only dabbled in creating art for more than the next decade until 2020 when the pandemic hit. With time on his hand and a creative mind, he started to paint and build and carve and sew. His love to create arose from its slumber. He has works of acrylic on canvas, mixed media on canvas, (all abstracts), abstract wooden carvings, and steampunk pieces.
Fairy tea cup workshop was a great time. Meeting new friends and hanging was so therapeutic and we each left with our own special creation. Michelle brought along the sweetest little miniatures and guided us along with our imagination. She also made up these cute kits with all the things you need to make your very own. Come get them in the store 🥰
This beautiful couple chose 2 original Bren West raw canvas

Of course, now the sun is shining and all is well.

April Book announcement 📢
I am so excited about this one!
The hard cover is in stock at the shop and available for 30% off list!
Instant New York Times bestseller!
“A gorgeous, gut-wrenching” (Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author) historical novel about two mothers facing unthinkable choices as the Nazis invade France—from the New York Times bestselling author Kristin Harmel.
Paris, 1939: Young mothers Elise and Juliette become fast friends the day they meet in the beautiful Bois de Boulogne. Though there is a shadow of war creeping across Europe, neither woman suspects that their lives are about to irrevocably change.
When Elise becomes a target of the German occupation, she entrusts Juliette with the most precious thing in her life—her young daughter, playmate to Juliette’s own little girl. But nowhere is safe in war, not even a quiet little bookshop like Juliette’s Librairie des Rêves, and, when a bomb falls on their neighborhood, Juliette’s world is destroyed along with it.
When the war finally ends, Elise returns to reunite with her daughter, only to find her friend’s bookstore reduced to rubble—and Juliette nowhere to be found. What happened to her daughter in those last, terrible moments? Juliette has seemingly vanished without a trace, taking all the answers with her. Elise’s desperate search leads her to New York—and to Juliette—one final, fateful time.
A sweeping celebration of resilience, motherhood, and love, The Paris Daughter is “historical fiction at its best” (Sadeqa Johnson, New York Times bestselling author).
