It’s that time of year when the gallery needs a little TLC.
We will be closed these next two weeks to freshen up, clean, and paint pedestals. 🖌
We will reopen Tuesday, January 28th and move our winter hours to:
Tuesday-Saturday 11:00-5:00.
In February we will be celebrating our second anniversary in our new Columbia Falls location, so will be holding our annual anniversary/customer appreciation sale. More on that to come.
Another huge and giant “THANK YOU” must be given to the folks who have supported us in Columbia Falls. We are so grateful for your continued support and love. ❤️

Christmas Eve, Mountain Moon Wax Company’s ( ) Christmas fragrance is a gorgeous subtle scent with a mix of spice and conifer. 🌲
Whether you decide to go with Christmas Eve, Wilderness, or any of their other four scents, you’ll be ready to hunker down this winter with beautifully scented candles made in Bozeman. 🕯
We have both the four ounce black tins for perfect stocking stuffers or eleven ounce glass votives which are great for those that love to burn candles and get into hygge mode during our long winter nights. 🌙❄️

Missoula artist Claire Emery’s ( ) 2025 calendar is going quickly!
We carry Claire’s cards in the gallery and they’re a well loved favorite for good reason. Now you can enjoy her work year round with her 2025 calendar.
The calendars are a beautiful gift for those that love a gorgeous calendar to keep track of the goings on in their life.
We’re open Wednesday through Monday 11-5.

For the coziest and prettiest glow, it’s Waxing Moon’s ( ) beeswax lanterns for the easy win.
Beautiful little beeswax lanterns with a beeswax tea light nestled inside make for the perfect addition to a windowsill or table for a honey hued wintertime glow.
Nothing whispers “hygge” more than natural and subtlety scented candles and we have plenty of both for the perfect stocking stuffers or hostess gift.
We have molded beeswax candles by Waxing Moon in a variety of shapes and sizes along with beeswax taper pairs in Bulgarian Rose, Lichen, Honey, and Birch. 🌙
It’s candle season and we have plenty of winter nights ahead of us to enjoy them. 🕯

We are stocked up candles from Mountain Moon Wax Co. from Bozeman for the holidays. 🕯
We have a limited stock of their gorgeous holiday scent “Christmas Eve” in both the 4 oz. tins and 11 oz. glass votives. 🎁
And of course, we have the always favorite, “Wilderness”, which is the scent of a Montana forest. 🌲
We also have their other beautiful scents which are perfect for stocking stuffers or a hostess gift.
We’re open Wednesday-Sunday 11-5.
We hope you’ll choose to shop small for much of your holiday shopping this season. ✨
As always, thank you for your support! 😊

Much thanks to those who came out to celebrate our Columbia Falls jr. high and high school art show reception. ❤️
It was a great reminder of the greatness of our community. (And also a reminder that our space is beautifully small.)
The student art show will hang through next Monday. Please take note that we’re closed on Tuesdays so make sure you come in and take a look at the students’ work by next Monday’s closing. (5:00)
We hope to see you over the course of the next few days!

WOW! ❤️
Ladies night was a huge success for us and a huge “THANK YOU” goes to the ladies who hit the town Tuesday evening. We hope it was a fun filled evening for you. A huge shout out to Kathy Pryce for organizing this great community event. It’s heartwarming to see our little town full of people on the street celebrating and having so much fun.
Next Wednesday November 20th, we’ll be hosting a reception from 5-7 for the jr. high and high school student art show.
We’ll have a donation box for the Columbia Falls food bank for the holidays, so any canned goods would be greatly appreciated.
We hope to see you here next Wednesday and have a great, great day!

Whew....Its been a minute. Please forgive me as it’s been an incredibly busy month.
But, we’re rolling into winter and we’re getting new work in from artists all the time gearing up for the holidays.
We’ve cut back to our winter hours which are Wednesday-Monday 11:00-5:00.
and...
We have several upcoming events for November....
Next Tuesday November 12th is Ladies’ night (expect another fun gift basket for the raffle.) and Wednesday, November 20th we’ll be hosting the jr. high and high school art shows.
More on both of these events to come, but mark your calendars for each of them.
Swing on in and say “hi”. We always love when people come in and admire the artwork. No purchase required.
