The studio is bustling! Half-finished floorcloths are spread out all over the place. Theresa and I are wishing we had yet another table! Here’s what’s going on…

Don’t forget about the Gift Ideas we have:

Items under $40 in the Gift Shop

Gift Certificates for finished custom floorcloths. Would someone you know like to come to Vermont, meet Lisa and have her design and paint a floorcloth just for their home? With each Gift Certificate the recipient gets a beautiful boxed 25-piece canvas Color Swatch Kit, a 21-page full color Portfolio and a 1 hour design consultation (in person at the studio or by phone) with Lisa Curry Mair. Call (802-263-5410) or email the studio for details.

Floorcloth Kits for the people on your list who want to create their own masterpieces!

I hope your all getting into the Holiday Spirit. We’re off to the Woodstock Wassail parade tomorrow, then putting up our tree. Lots of fun, and all of this snow really helps to make me feel Christmas-y!

I know, I know, I need to get going on my own shopping! But first, I thought I’d be sure to give all of you a little help if you’re having trouble…

First, I’ve updated some things in my Gift Shop. I’m even offering my beloved Artichoke and Berries design on mugs, aprons and note cards. There are lots of other cool things and nothing is over $40.

Second, there’s still time to order blank placemats and floorcloths to paint for Christmas. Order Georgian Brick colored blanks for 20% off. If you order the $10 Branch Stencil with the Georgian Brick blank, you can whip up a pretty floorcloth like this in less than 2 hours for $50-pretty sweet!

And finally, why not give a Gift Certificate? With the Gift Certificate you get a 21 page color Portfolio in a box to be wrapped and the recipient can set up a consultation with Lisa any time within the next year to discuss and create a customized floorcloth design. You could even turn it into a romantic getaway by staying at the Weathersfield Inn, coming for a tour of the Canvasworks Studio, talk with Lisa and return the next day to see your newly developed design on paper-ready to be made into that very special floorcloth (or mural or painting!)

IF you purchase  a Gift certificate of at least $1000, you’ll receive $100 back right away- our Christmas Gift to you! Call or email the studio for details.
