Andover Thrift & Gift is featuring the unique creations of talented Artisans, in addition to their wide selection of women’s and children’s gently worn apparel and jewelry and, for the month of February, that perfect gift for your Special Valentine!

Emma Chase Designs will be presenting artisan jewelry designed with beautiful stones such as amethyst, amazonite, and Czech glass. Their collection includes necklaces, earrings, and more. They use sterling for all earring wires, but often use other metals such as Tibetan silver for the piece itself.

Brenda Fox of the Crafty Fox in Andover will have a variety of items crafted from lace, including jewelry and bowls. She also has hand and tote bags, wallets, and other accessories, with a quick turn-around, custom embroidery is available on all items.

Beryl Sanborn of Whimsy Garden Art recreates items from vintage glassware, and also makes sand dollar and starfish ornaments, great for any beach party or wedding favors, wine bottles in many colors that are ‘slumped’ (flattened) for cheese boards, lavender sachets to help with sleep, and comical “Over the Hill” dolls!

Back by popular demand are Diane Seamans of DSigns with silk eco printed scarves and note cards, along with Ronnie MacLean from RJM Woodworks with fine crafted wood boxes, cooking utensils, jewelry, and more.

Whether you need a new outfit, a gift, or a card, we have it! Shop locally and support your community Artisans and the non-profit Andover Thrift & Gift.
