Yesterday, while I was working at the gallery, a customer asked if we had anything with an octopus theme. She asked in a tone of voice that said “I can’t believe you would have such a thing”. Well, we did have such a thing! I was able to show her Abbie Greer’s (Snail Ink Studio) wonderful octopus shot glasses and even more.

Yes, you can still find something unique, fun, and beautiful to give to that special someone. We’re open Christmas Eve until 5pm.
