Thinking Spring

Here on Salt Spring Island the winters are quite rainy, so everything stays green year-round. Today it was very warm and sunny, and some of the flowering trees are blooming already. Everyone has been busy making new work, and it will all be in AvantiShops by the end of February.

If you want to be kept up-to-date on new fashions and styles, just register for the newsletter and specify your interest. I’m not a big enough company to be sending out frequent emails, so it’s only once a month!

I have another shop coming soon, too. It’s called Small Treasures. Let me know if you would like to receive the launch announcement! It won’t be for another couple months.

Visiting Salt Spring?

Avanti Glass Studio is # 13 on the 2007 Salt Spring Island Studio Tour. It is one of the higher-end studio/galleries on the island, with a great selection of fused glassware for home decor, samples of leaded and copper-foiled glass and fused glass tiles, and lots and lots of glass jewellery. And there’s more…… just for fun, handmade-on-the-torch glass leaves in blended colors, great for small gifts or decorations, and beads, lots of beads. Avanti is near the Vesuvius Bay ferry landing, on the northwest side of the island. Once you’ve been to Salt Spring Island, you’ll want to come back. And then you’ll want to stay. It’s one of the most beautiful places in Canada.
