Gifts for May birthdays and Mother's Day



We're all about Images on Demand in lasting form. But, at the same time, Wordsworth once wrote of the artist creating the taste by which he or she is to be enjoyed, and we have always done a large bit of that too. Magpie's own extreme eclecticism of good taste is evident if you spend just three minutes browsing our art tiles. If I were a thief with an ideal(ized) mother, I would be stealing the following from our shop to send to her: a little glass bud vase adorned with a miniature wood bird house and colorful curly wire that she can stick on the bathroom mirror holding the sprig of her choice (12.00); a 4" ceramic tile coaster blazoned with lilacs photographed by Chris Galin (8.00); and our Heart Nouveau (pictured below) 2" ceramic magnet (4.00) or coaster (6.00). These would all fit in a lacquered wood treasure box with a 4" tile inlaid in the lid, perhaps a personalized tile (30.00 at Magpie gallery shop).
