Capturing the Grand Canyon

The first time I laid eyes on the Grand Canyon I realized that there are some things that just cannot be captured even by a camera. The immense size and subtle striations of color were obviously only to be witnessed in person.

I used to also think this about the pristine turquoise sea of the Caribbean, until now. Take a look at these oil paintings by April Shurgar, and I think you will agree, she has captured the essence of that iridescent body of water in some of her new works. They are all very affordable, and don't forget free shipping at buyoutsidethebox.com. With just enough time before Christmas you could make someone you love very happy with one or more of these exquisite paintings.--Ruth Mitchell

Green Giving

We're all for green giving. Art and fine handmade things are almost always "Green" in that they are made by hand and therefore do not have the same inherent pollution factors built in when created that mass produced items have. We wanted to share with you that Sue Poff's fabulous "Butter Bars" and other luxurious products were featured on page 10 of Florida's Palm Beach Post Christmas Gift "Green" Guide. We think writer Joanne Harris was right on when she chose to highlight Sue's products. I use them personally and can't get through the winter without the body butter bar. Kudos to Sue!--Ruth Mitchell
