Wedding Gifts They'll Cherish

Choosing a great wedding gift can take some thought.  Yes, picking something from their registry is helpful and all, but it won't be something they'll remember you by.

Here are some out-of-the-box ideas to help you select a wedding gift they'll cherish they're whole life together.  The best part is they'll always think of you whenever they use it!


A mosaic mirror is for an extra special gift.  The mosaic frame suits a modest budget

Options


Seattle's Angie Heinrich studied mosaic-making with masters in Italy and Spain.  The craftsmanship she applies to her mosaics is very high.  Shown here is a lovely oval mirror measuring 22" x 18".  Easy to hang with a picture wire on the back.  This one features brick red and golden tiles - perfect for homes with warm colors.  Other colors and sizes are also available - just email me with ideas and I'll send pictures for you to review.

If your budget is more modest, check out the gorgeous silver picture frame on the right.  It holds a 6" x 4" photo - perfect for their favorite wedding portrait.  A great gift at $62.  Other colors also available - just ask.


Bud vases of copper and steel between glass

Options


The ancient technique of fusing metal between two pieces of glass is brought into the 21st century by Charlton Glassworks.  Here we see elegant simplicity in a trio of bud vases that were created by fusing pieces of copper and steel between the glass.  When copper is heated up to fuse the glass together, wonderful colors like burgundy, purple, brick and black come out in a beautiful array that's never the same twice.  The steel turns a shiny black.  

Due to the simple style, this design works well in nearly any home decorating style.  For a special couple, get the trio.  For someone less beloved or a more modest budget, just choose one.


Mid-Century inspired fused glass trays

Options


Here at the gallery we are hearing that more and more couples are decorating in the mid-century style of the 50s and 60s.  This pair of fused glass trays picks up the mood of that style, adding a touch of elegance as well.  Each tray measures 10" x 10" and is fully functional.  Some use them for dinner plates, others for appetizers.  They're also excellent to simply display as a work of art.  

Get the pair for a special couple, or just one if the budget is more limited.


"The Chalice" - sculptural piece that's also functional as a vase


This is a fabulous gift for a couple near and dear to your heart.  Sculpted by the masterful hands of Barry McAlister, this is actually two separate pieces that nestle inside each other, with the center depicting a flame.  What could better capture your hopes for lasting, vibrant love between these two about to embark on a new adventure together?


Four options for a limited budget

Options


For various reasons, you may not wish to spend a large amount on a wedding gift.  Never fear!  Here are some great options starting at $20.

At top left we have an original acrylic painting (this is NOT a reproduction), "Colors of Love", by Julie Terrell.  For a couple who loves color, this is a wonderful gift, and easy to place, measuring 10" x 10".

At top right we have a delightful pair of Everyday Drinking Glasses, perfect for milk, orange juice, water, or whatever you want.  At just $20 for a pair, that's a gift they'll use every day!  Sorry, but this item is SOLD OUT.

At the lower left we have three choices of the elegant yet fun beaded salad sets by Chantal Trandafir.  These are the three most popular color choices because they go with so many different types of plateware.

At lower right, a charming oil or vinegar bottle features a fused glass heart.  Celebrate their love for each other and their love of cooking with this simple, elegant gift.  This particular oil/vinegar bottle is SOLD OUT, but many other options are available.  Let me send you images.

Of course, we have many more options in the gallery, but this gives you some fun ideas to contemplate as you plan for your weddings this summer.

Hope to see you soon,
Manya and Jeff

Show Your Distinctive Style with a Bubble Skirt

We here at MaJe Gallery do our best to help you look your best, yet stay comfortable at the same time.  As we all know, each and every day we put something on our lower half, and something on our upper half.  Have fun with it!  Play a bit!

Our new bubble skirts are just the ticket.  You can wear them three different ways!  And at only $56 each, why stop at only one?  If the color and/or size you want isn't in stock, we'll order it for you!

THIS COLOR CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK.  Call or Email to discover available colors.

Here's an image of the skirt all by itself.  It's shown here in the midnight teal color, which is a wonderful medium blue with a hint of green.  The wide elastic waistband is super comfortable, and holds everything in without giving you a muffin top.  All skirts come in S, M, L and XL.

Just say no to black!  Rather, pair your teal skirt with a gorgeous eggplant top!  Here we have an assymetrical top made of bamboo.  The drapiness works beautifully with the lines of the skirt.  And it's got color, without being in your face about it.

Bubble skirt in charcoal, inside out!


sizes
We like to turn the skirt inside out on occasion.  Now you can see the strips of fabric that tie up to give the skirt the bubbles.  But with the ties on the outside, you've transformed it into a feminine marvel!  In this outfit, we've paired it with a burgundy tank top from Luxe Junkie and a black bolero jacket from Testimony.  Isn't that just an outfit to die for?

Bubble skirt without the ties.  Long, slightly A-line, and nicely flowing

sizes
THIS COLOR CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK.  Call or Email to discover available colors.

Here's the bubble skirt in the mushroom color.  It's a really great light brown that can be worn all seasons.  None of the ties are tied in this one, for a long, lean look.  The caveat here is you should be at least 5'6" tall to wear it.  We've got it paired with a funky Claudia top from Testimony, and an amazing hand-made scarf by Andi Shannon.

We have it in these three colors, shown here, at the gallery.  However, it's available in lots of different colors.  Ask to see the swatches and choose the color that's best for you.

Come on down and play with our skirts!  They are fairly flying out the door because they are so cute and such a great price!
