Cutest Doggie Duds Ever!

Here's Eclectic's member Melissa Robertson's take on diva dressing your pocket pooch....adorable tutus with ribbons, bows and a pair of bows for her ears!

Tutus made with soft, washable tulle, and have a "comfort and convenience" gap for those delicate areas. Available in pink (with sparkles!), aqua, violet and green.

Melissa also makes children's hair bows (by the dozens, in EVERY color combo you can think of) and customized children's apparel. Think  designer appliqued onsies and team-wear for your fav schools (KU, KS, MISSOU, etc).

Eclectics Gallery is 

open Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm

For the person who has everything...FOOD!

Need a gift for the person who has everything? Give them "consumables"!

 Bet you didn't know that Eclectics has some amazing foodie treats! Such as delish jarred dips and spreads from KC Classics.

Try the Artichoke Leaf Cheese dip or the Raspberry Jalapeno Dip (great with black beans and tortilla chips!) Or what about some Luscious Lemony Cheesecake Fondue? Sounds like just the thing for someone!

They also carry gourmet, no-preservative salad dressings. The Asian Ginger Vinegarette sounds tempting.

KC Creations also makes a dangerous item called "Chocolate Krack" which is both LEGAL and ADDICTIVE!

For the more of a "mix-it-up" type select from over 30 varieties of sweet and savory powdered mixes for dips, rubs, sauces and beverages from Mama Janes.

Try the "Slap Ya Mama" intense garlic chip dip mix, the "Kickin' Chicken" hot wing mix, or Sun Dried Tomato Basil combo. OR mix up a cup of delights with "Roasted Cinnamon Nut Cappucino Creation".

Sweeten up the sour puss on your list with a jar of Cricket's Sweet Lime Pickles. (We've tried them - they are awesome!)

Welcome Two New Eclectics Members

We are so excited to welcome two new Eclectics member artists:

Nancy Clark - Hand Weaver and Carrie Hartley - Mixed Media Mosaics

Nancy has been weaving for many years and confesses to owning 16 looms, spread between her house and her studio. She's a juried member of Best of Missouri Hands, sells her work at various national juried art shows, and now will be available at Eclectics. Here's a clip from her artist's bio: 

"The intense intimacy of weaving fascinates me. Each thread passes through my fingers several times in the completion of a finished piece, endearing it to me. The weaving process, in which I respond to the unique voice of individual threads, is rewarding and peaceful. I weave what I love, I sell what I can, and then I weave some more."

Carrie recently relocated from New Orleans to Kansas City.

"Keys that go to no doors, washers and screws rusted beyond use, foreign coins from trips to far away places, broken jewelry, mismatched earrings, old watches that no longer keep time, snaps, zippers, buttons and hooks, scrap lumber and empty cigar boxes-- I love giving new life to things that would otherwise be thrown out. For me creating is being, one does not exist without the other."

 Both new artists will have items on display at The Crow Show, Friday, October 5 from 5-8 p.m. 

Join us to meet Eclectics artists in person, shop, and enjoy light refreshments with us.

The Crow Show Friday Oct 5

So a shop full of Crows and other birds,

can the cats be far behind???

Check out our large selection of unique, handmade note cards - you are sure to find one for any occasion!

Another new product you can find here are custom-designed stamps (for creating your own cards) by designer Fred Mullet. We also carry his cards and prints made with his own stamps, if you are not feeling crafty. 

 See you Friday evening, October 5th, from 5-8 p.m.

What's this?

A tantalizing peak at just a few of the new items you'll see at Eclectics Gallery's fall feature event - The Crow Show - on Friday, October 5, 2012, from 5-8 p.m.

Can you tell what they are??? (Hint: they are not all crows...)
