OKAY, IT'S the day before
Christmas and all the shopping is
done, right? .

You break out the wrapping
paper, sharpen the scissors and
start picking at the roll of Scotch
tape trying to find the end of the
damn thing.

Suddenly, in a flash of Homer
Simpson-esque revelation, you re-
alize — DOH! ~ you've forgot-

ten to get something for old Aunt -

Millie who's flying in all the way
from Thunder Bay. -

What do you do?

“Well, you could do worse than
to hop on the highway and head
out to Horseshoe Bay where you'll
find a formidable collection of
genuine, handmade B.C. art and
assorted knick-knacks at the
recently opened West Coast
Wonders.

"The: idea is we wanted ar-
tisans as opposed to . craftspeo-
ple,” says the shop’s founder and

» in West Van crafts shop |

owner, Suzanne Murphy. “The
only criterion is that the works are
100% B.C.”"

Yo that end, Murphy has the ar-
tisans regularly working in the
window of the Bruce Lane shop,
Creating. everything from candles
to clothing to paintings to wood
carvings to ceramics to furniture
ranging in price from $1 on up
past $1,500,

“We cater lo everybody from
kids to collectors,”’ she says.

Opened six weeks ago, WCW
has already featured more than
100 artisans with plans to include
over 200 by the end of January.

ltems to check out include ce-
‘samic fishermen that double as

-¢dental floss dispensers, beeswax

Millie?

Why not show your appreciation? A tip at’
