Treasure Magazine 2015 gift-guide details: Where to buy and more
Editor’s note: We started shopping for this guide a few weeks ago to meet our press deadlines, so not all the items featured may still be available. And some of the work is one of a kind, but intended to give you an idea of the artist’s style. The information below details the stores, artisans and companies featured in this issue. Not all artists’ contact information was available. And remember, many of these items may be available at several Valley locations. Pricing may vary from store to store.
