For those who haven't had the opportunity to visit us in person during this celebration of LOVE...we thought we'd share a message on one of the blackboards we have in the Market! ♥

 

Happy LOVE Day Everyone!

 "Where there is love there is life." ~ Gandhi

And the Market is wonderfully alive with loving, peaceful energy thanks to artist Caroline James from Hornby Island!!

(Pssssst...we have a lot more of Caroline's work to show you, but for now we'll just whet your Valentine whistle with these!!)

"Sometimes," said Pooh, "the smallest things take up the most room in your heart." ~ A. A. Milne

 

Heart pendants, masterfully crafted from a variety of west coast wood by a bighearted artist, Courtney Powell. At just $38, they may be a small thing - but they'll take up a lot of room in your Valentine's heart!

 

 

 

Affairs of the Heart...

for your Valentine

 

This delightfully whimsical book is created by one of Canada's national treasures, Charles Van Sandwyk. 

 

Charles uses his wonderful, romantic imagination, artistic talents and calligraphy skills to create his beautiful, hand-stitch book for your Valentine to treasure. His world is a gentle one in which to escape. He believes that art, and indeed life, should be a rich, visual feast. 

 

Hand crafted on Vancouver Island, most of the illustrations are available in greeting cards...

 

 

...another perfect way for you to 

tell your Valentine how much you love them!

 

 

 

 

“The art of love...is largely the art of persistence.” ~ Albert Ellis

Persistence...most of us understand all too well what that means for us in our love lives. With respect to art however, can you imagine the persistence artist Madeleine Wood must call upon to create paintings that so accurately mirror real life?

"Valentine Heart"...is exquisite, and a wonderfully creative way to give a rose to the one who has captured your heart this Valentine's Day.

 Sealed with a Kiss! 

You & Me! 

You Melt my Heart! 

You Stir Me Up! 

The perfect, artful way to say how much you love your Valentine! Hurry...our selection won't last long. 

(Unlike your relationship of course! 

That lands somewhere in the forever category!!)

"People who LOVE to eat are always the best people! ~ Julia Child

It's the month of LOVE, and "For the Love of Food" by Chef Sally Rae is a mouthwatering selection of her monthly food columns originally published in Denman Island's local newspaper. 

Each column features an informative introduction that highlights the main ingredient with gardening, shopping and harvesting tips thrown in for good measure. 

It's more than a cookbook, it is a celebration of good food with clear directions on how to get there.
