Stewart's Village Gallery

Welcome to the charming world of Bill and Holly Stewart, where classic tradition blends with modern, sophisticated design dusted by an overlay of magical mystique. When one enters this beautiful space, one feels an immediate infusion of a higher vibrational way of being. This feeling of heightened awareness comes from the fact that everything in this shop is handmade and imbued with Love by the artisans who sell their work here.

As you move from room to room in the gallery, your attention will be pulled in many directions; from jewelry, hand blown glassware, hand dipped candles, indoor fountains, handwoven scarves, woven fabric pocketbooks, pottery of all types, bird feeders and purely decorative art to paintings, wind chimes, unique garden art, metal art, stonework to add grace and beauty to the inside of your home or the outdoor surroundings. All that surrounds you is unique; some whimsical, some more refined. All sublime.
