Announcement
Welcome! Please be aware that if you order after Dec. 9, we cannot be sure that your item will arrive in time for Christmas Day. If you reach out to us, we can likely give you options.
Howard and I would like to extend heartfelt wishes to all our wonderful customers for a Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year! We appreciate so much your support of our little shop.
I am a journalist who worked for years for The Buffalo News, my hometown paper, as columnist and classical music critic. This shop is a collection of my original pen and ink art, as well as watercolor art. This shop not only pays homage to my hometown but also ventures into a diverse array of captivating subjects, most related to architecture, history, and literature. Thank you for joining me on this artistic voyage!
To our Buffalo customers: I am happy to announce that my "Let it Snow" Buffalo NY ornaments are now being showcased at the Christmas Shoppe, 880 Ridge Road, Lackawanna. The Christmas Shoppe is so worth a visit if you have not been there. It's the largest Christmas shop in New York State, and just the doorway alone looks like something out of Martha Stewart magazine. Yes, you have stepped through the looking glass!
In addition, when we recently checked, the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens still had three boxes of my note cards left in their beautiful gift shop. Grab them while you can! The cards are boxed ready for gift giving.
More Buffalo news: My book of drawings, "Sketches of Buffalo," is currently offered for sale at the Totally Buffalo store on Sheridan Drive.
If you are a shop owner and would like to carry any of my art items for fun and profit, I sell wholesale. Please reach out to me and I will set you up.
To all my customers: If you are ever in Buffalo and feel inclined, my husband, Howard, entertains at the piano every Friday at the Hyatt Regency downtown. He plays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. I am there too and I would be happy to sign any purchase -- and I would love to thank you personally for your patronage.
Many of the Buffalo sketches in this shop, as well as a few more, may also be viewed and purchased on a variety of products through the site Fine Art America at mary-kunzgoldman.pixels.com. Fine Art America offers a wealth of matting and framing options, should you have a specific look in mind.
My creativity steers me in many different directions and so I am becoming like the Mall of America of Etsy. Here are my other shops:
PlannerMary.Etsy.Com: Stickers and original art for your planner and scrapbook!
TheOldHouseDowntown.Etsy.Com: Cool vintage LP records, because you know me and my music.
Thank you for visiting!
