A friend and I were at the 2017 Harvest Festival where we met the artist Colleen Toland and her…read morehusband, Paul. It goes without saying that her jewelry is absolutely exquisite. If you are looking for a statement or unique piece(s) of jewelry, or jewelry that would satisfy your woodland fairy needs, look no further. Unfortunately, my purchasing experience with them is what lowers my rating. It was very clear that from the moment that I walked into their booth (with my walker) I was being treated very differently from their other customers. Whereas other customers (and even window shoppers) were given their full attention, I was left to my own devices and ignored. Neither Colleen or Paul went out of their way to talk to me about the jewelry, discuss their show specials, or try to make a sale with me. Even when there was one other customer in the booth, they both pointedly moved around me, doing everything they could to avoid eye contact with me. Despite having a pair of earrings in my hand and my wallet in the other, I was ignored. (It was this point that I felt dumb.) When I asked Paul a question or two, I was given a one word answer before he turned his back on me. It was at that point I put the earrings back and left. Hey! I can take a hint. Once my friend was done at a booth across the way, she noticed my mood and asked if I had purchased anything. I just shrugged and said, "They're kind of weird." My friend insisted that if I truly wanted a piece that she would come with me to pick out something. Interestingly enough, they also pointedly ignored my friend (I suspect because of her association with me) until she cornered them into a conversation (that's a bubbly extrovert for you) and held my chosen pieces for me. It was only once I had cleared the $400.00 mark that they realized that I was worthy of attention. As I closed my sale and my friend began to pick out her pieces, it was interesting to see Colleen flutter about making helpful or nice comments towards her even though she spent less than I did. Colleen even went out of her way to give her free backings. At the time, I chalked up my experience to cultural differences (after all, they are from across the pond, maybe they were new to the states) but after reading other reviews, I'm not so sure.

I stopped by Colleen Toland's shop at the Sunnyvale Art and Wine Festival and loved her jewelry. I…read morelike the dainty flowers and workmanship looks pretty good. I was worried they would come off but Colleen assured me they are made well. They were all so pretty but i did not make any purchase at first and checked out the other stalls but Colleen's jewelry were a must-have for me after the tour! I ended up going back and purchased 2 earrings and a hair clip. It was the last day and almost closing time and Colleen was nice to give me a discount when i asked for it. Am so sorry to read that other guests had an unpleasant experience. I am very Asian and i did not feel any prejudice towards me. She even chatted with me even where there were other customers in her stall. I hope she reads all the comments here and correct herselfl

As I was walking along the sidewalk in old town Sonoma, I pasted a lot of shops. Many of them were…read moreart galleries with art pieces that didn't interest me. But the framed color photo of a soulful content face painted in a gorgeous shade of blue caught my eye. You can say... I made eye contact. I moved in closer to the shop window to get a better look and the next thing I knew I was walking into the gallery. The Lisa Kristine gallery. Who the heck is Lisa Kristine?! I was thinking this to myself because her photos are pieces of art. The walled photos were beautiful. Mesmerizing photos of places and people in gorgeous foreign lands. Some of the people were from indengious cultures but she captured their joy and pride. Anyway Lisa Kristine I found out is an award winning Humanitarian photographer, activist, and speaker. Her photos and photo books are shown and sold in the gallery and online. The photo books are a more affordable option vs the art photos. Another favorite photo is a black and white of aged weathered hands grasping the flow of running water from a hydraulic manual pump. Gorgeous storytelling in a moment of time photo. Step on into the gallery across from the Sonoma Plaza. Maybe something will catch your eye. #lisakristinephotojournalist #lisakristinephotogallerysonoma

I ended up purchasing the Slavery book because I wanted to support her work and the cause. They have specials around Christmas time so keep that in mind. The images she captures are very intricate and captivating so make it a point to stop by here if you're in town.

Nice set up, absolutely beautiful colors and a wide variety of subjects. Simon's stile is very unique and easily identifiable. He makes the best out of what acrylic paints can do.
