MEANWHILE.....go forth and find FREE art now!!

Yes, you are correct. This is another of Robin Peterson's beautiful original works of art. Beautiful in a frame, beautiful as a card, beautiful as a gift for yourself or someone special. Beautiful and FREE to you....where? Check out the Wine Studio, stop in for a little tasting, relax have a little vino and FREE art!!!

Now, a great place to view the Harbor and have a little cocktail and dinner would be Anthony's....downstairs!! Find a beautiful art card there, as well. This one is by Laura Bethke...you love her work!!! If you missed her card at Anthony's, check out Ebb Tide Gallery...more there!!




Also, at Anthony's, you will find a small 2010 Gig Harbor Film Festival collectible poster....

You, yes you, take a look outside at the gorgeous sunshine. Then head on over to the best bird seed downtown and find a lovely piece of FREE glass art. Then take it home and hang it in your window and let the sun shine through the pear!! The artist this time is Marcia Hildebrandt. Just go round the corner to find more of Marcia's beautiful fused glass art at Ebb Tide Gallery.
Now, if you are very luck, you could find 2 pieces of FREE art at the best bookstore in downtown Gig Harbor...those ladies are always willing and ready to help with any of your needs. The artist of the beautiful Iris fold bookmark is Dori Wheeler. I believe the bookmark is nestled among her cards.
The beautiful little blue silk oragami box was created by the hands of Delaine Gately. Delaine is a wonderful quilter and you'll see more of her special boxes in the future. A beautiful little treasure for you or a friend. Find Delaine at cfsgate@aol.com

While finding this art, find lots of other great art by wonder local artists. Need a great gift...need a layaway for the Holidays.
