ORIGINALITY IS THE BEST GIFT OF ALL

When you're buying gifts, why settle for the usual mall offerings? Giving an original, one-of-a-kind gift will mean so much to the recipient...

We have so many options in store for you; I hardly know where to begin. How about a quick sample of art for the home?

Glenn Seabloom once introduced his stoneware jars as "glorified cookie jars", but they are truly works of art in fantastic shapes and glorious glazes-- and certainly not just for the kitchen!

Kneisley Underwater's photographs take you into a world most of us never see-- glowing fish, waving coral, colors that are almost unworldly. Offerings of these photos include matted prints, framed works, and even Christmas ornaments!

Elizabeth White makes glimmering, shimmering suncatchers to hang in windows, using beads and big faceted crystals. The rainbows they cast on walls and floors are a great cold-weather pick-me-up!

You'll find so many wonderful, unique options at Serendip-- stop in and take a look, and come back often, as the offerings change frequently!!

YOU WON'T HAVE TO STAND IN LINE TO RETURN GIFTS...

Have you seen Serendip's Wish Tree yet? When you find something you love in the store, you can tag the tree with your wish, then take home a "subtle hint" card. Let your gift-givers know that they can get you something you WANT, instead of a toaster, or smelly perfume, or whatever...

Stop in today and pick out great choices from our vast array of one-of-a-kind art, jewelry, home decor, and more!

UPCOMING CLASSES AT SERENDIP!!

Classes are being scheduled for fall! Jen Float just sent word that she's scheduling more of her popular Studio Classes!

If you're looking for a fun evening out while creating your own masterpiece, we have the answer!
Come along and meet new friends, or grab some current pals, and join us for an evening of creativity and camaraderie. Bring a favorite bottle of wine or beverage, and paint a picture along with Jen, a local artist with work displayed in Yellow Springs, at Serendip, and other local venues.

We'll provide your paint, canvas and brushes, and you'll have a fun evening with friends. Plus, at the end of the evening, you'll have a one-of-a-kind creation and, hopefully, a newfound talent you'll want to explore. Each session is only $40.

Questions? Call Jennifer Float, at 9327-243-1383; or the Market at Serendip, at 614-356-2784.

TWO TERRIFIC NEW ARTISTS!!

We are so excited to welcome two more artists.

First, FiFi Papers has joined us, offering prepackaged cards and notes with alphabet photos spelling out the sentiments. She also takes special orders for personalized cards. These would be an ideal gift for newlyweds or your favorite correspondent, or they would make totally unique holiday cards!

We're also happy to welcome Pam Stockwell's Whimsical Wire. Pam turns plain serving pieces into spectacular works of art. Using wire and enormous creativity, she incorporates vintage beads and elements to add pizzazz to your partyware!!

Photos will come soon... but stop in and see all our treasures for yourself!!
