Ever dreamed your home looked like a country Tuscan villa? 

Get the look (for a whole lot less) with Ann’s new Vineyard Tableau:

Say bye-bye to Bad Boy, he’s been adopted and is going to a nice ranch house somewhere in Texas Hill country.    His friend Percy is still available, however, and promises to behave himself at YOUR house if you’d only take him home with you.  Come visit him at Ann’s this weekend:

Bad Boy found a home with an Ann's customer.

Good news, girls: Percy is still available! Wouldn't you like to take him home? $750 and he's yours!

Life-like giclee prints by Charles Leonard keep Dad thinking about his favorite hobby, even when he’s not “gone fishin’.”  Leonard is an artist based in Georgia and captures the natural world with the fish and wildlife indigenous to the southern US.  Put a smile on Dad’s face when you give him one of these numbered, framed prints.  Great for his man-cave, but these are so nice they would look great in any room in the house.  Their detail is marvelous.  (If you click on the pictures, below, you can view a larger image in your browser.)

Annie Modica is an artist who uses decoupage as her medium.  Keepsake boxes with hinged tops become works of art that are beautiful to display in your home.   Annie and her team in California employ faux finish and a hand-mixed resin sealant to finish these pieces.  Each takes at least 3 weeks to produce and all are made by hand.    Her studio has a “clean” room where the high-gloss finish can be applied and allowed to set without dust and other surface flaws settling in.  Give an unsual piece, made in America, for a unique and thoughtful Christmas present!  Shop now for Christmas at Ann’s.
