Penny McDonald (left), seen here with Wendy Cunningham, holds up one of her handmade keepsake journals. Perfect stocking stuffers.

Visual arts coordinator Ruth Payne poses with one of my favourite items. You can move this angel's head to match your mood. Sort of a "mood angel" if you will.

Ruriko Shimomae (second from right) was pleased to have her family along for the opening night. From left: Maki Sugawara, Yohei Shimomae, Ruriko with her scarves, and Ayako Kuroki.

West Vancouver's Arlee Gale (left) and Judy Barry decided to stop in and get a head start on their Christmas shopping.

Where would the gallery be without their volunteers? Thanks to Miriam Bergson (left) and Sandie O'Brian for all their dedication.

Jane Ford's Christmas card sets are elegant works of art. They're almost too nice to send out in the mail.
