March in the Gallery Shop!

March is another busy month for us at the Gallery Shop.

As shop staff prepares for fiscal year end with hours and hours of counting stock – new inventory from my recent buying trip is starting to arrive. Be on the look on for new book titles, fun activity kits for the children, great wedding gift ideas and maybe even a little sparkle for yourself.

While these particular lines haven’t arrived yet, I’m just too excited about their arrival that I can’t help but talk about them. They’re so easy on the eyes and easy on the earth. Green is certainly the theme this spring!

Designed by Emma Woffenden & Tord Boontje, TranSglass is a beautifully line made from recycled wine bottles. Not only are the pieces gorgeous and functional, they are also included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art New York. So go ahead and start your own permanent collection!

The Loyal Loot Collective from Edmonton, Alberta uses reclaimed tressto make these vibrant log bowls. This environmentally friendly line will look amazing at home, at the cottage, in your office, just about anywhere you want a splash of colour and a beautifully hand-crafted piece.

There will never be a dull conversation with Table Topics around. These cubes contain hundreds of though-provoking questions meant to create interesting and hilarious conversation. Worried about your budget? Ditch the expensive restaurant and pick up the Table Topic Cube of your choice and have your friends over. I can’t wait to host my next dinner party armed with my very own cube.

So that’s what I’m in love with this month – I can’t wait until they all arrive here at the MacKenzie Art Gallery Shop. I hope you find something that inspires you!
