You are encouraged do your Christmas shopping locally while having a great time in a pleasant atmosphere. You will be supporting local artists as you find the perfect unique gift among this wide assortment of hand-made items.

Arts and Crafts-persons! It is not too late to make that special project you've been wanting to try. The volunteers at the Dolphin, now under the management of committees under Helen Klembeck, are eager for new ideas and items. Participants do not need to be members of Gualala Arts and new artists and new ideas are welcomed. Artists receive 65 percent of the selling price. If you have any questions, call Helen at (707) 884-9644.

Merchandise for the boutique will be accepted on Monday, November 21st from 10:00 to 2:00. A group of volunteers will be hard at work throughout the day making everything look "Christmas-sy" and putting items on display and available for sale as quickly as possible, as they are brought in.

This means that the Holiday Boutique hours are the same as the store, 10 to 5 daily, and will be open for your convenience through all the holidays, except Christmas Day.

Pick up unsold items on January 2nd & 3rd, 2006.
