It doesn’t take something really big to make your day. Sometimes it’s a small gesture, like a smile at just the right moment, or a mystery gift left on your doorstep. Small things take up little space but can have an outsized impact on your world — because when you least expect it, they have the power to make you smile.

This Marketplace Collection, Creature Comforts, is an eclectic selection of works by artists and makers that impart an enveloping feeling of warmth, ease and tradition as the temperature drops.

This week’s collection, “New Faces”, introduces a marvelous group of artists who have joined us in just the last month. Take a look – some you may recognize, and others are brand new to Paradise City. You’ll discover amazing work by jewelers, fiber artists, metalsmiths and more!

When it comes from the hands of an artist, a simple container can surprise you. In the special collection Hold Everything! you’re sure to find creative solutions to the age-old issue of keeping and storing precious possessions and everyday items. There is a special sense of mystery in objects with lids or furniture with hidden compartments.

Paradise City’s artists bring their animal dreams into 21st Century art and design. Using the materials at their fingertips – clay, glass, wood, metal, oil paints, cameras, printing presses, fiber, gemstones, found objects and more – they delight us with their interpretations of wild and domesticated creatures, birds, insects, fish and reptiles.
