To All of Our Customers & Local Artisans

January 2008 brought the promise of exciting creativity at Sattler Artisans' Alley.  We exhibited the very talented Linda and David Jacobson's art and photography; held a well attended open house celebrating their awesome work and toasted the new year to come.  Thank you to the CLCC, Sheila and Allen shared information with our visitors regarding the development of 'The Gorge'.  Our online store www.sartisansalley.com is now operational thanks to www.Kathleen's-Graphics.com.   However, we were to face new challenges.  Due to Barry's health and the need to cut back on overhead, we needed to close the current edifice and seek a new storefront. 

Our apologies to our customers and vendors for the abrupt change.  We hope to be up and operational again by April at a new venue to be announced by the end of February.  We will offer the same hospitality and unique products handcrafted by Canyon Lake artists and craftspeople with a few more we've adopted along the way.  

Classes and academic tutorial services have not stopped.  Rowena Leming is still available for art lessons.  She can be reached at 830-964-3822.  For academic tutoring, I (Pamela Dorfman) can be reached at 830-237-7325.  Call me if you were interested in a particular painting you saw when shopping at our former location, or perhaps you needed something made that you had seen at the store.  I can link you with that artist if you will call me at 830-237-7325 and leave a message.  I will get back with you in a prompt fashion.  Need picture framing or a unique mat cut? Contact Dow's Custom Framing 830-660-4249.  David's work is fastidious and top notch.  He uses museum quality matting and paper and he can work with any decor from "rustic primitive" to  "French Provencial".  Several items we carried  may be purchased through our web site.  www.sartisansalley.com  Shipping is not a problem thanks to local "Freedom Mail" to assist us.

Barry and I would like to take this opportunity to thank our vendors and the Canyon Lake Area community for their continued support.  And, as in all things, we give God thanks.  Because He led us to this location, we have been blessed abundantly through friendships and contacts as well as personal development, and we can all use a little growth in that department. 

I want to also bring up a topic that has become abundantly clear to me.  We are in the unique position of helping one another here in the Canyon Lake Area.  Sometimes we forget how important our neighborhood businesses are and we don't realize how we take them for granted.  These people cannot continue unless we support them on a daily basis.  So when you are in need of a gift, a card, a guitar lesson, a tune-up, groceries, or even a good cup of coffee ; whatever the case may be, shop local!  Keep your money recycling in your own backyard.  There is research on how a penny spent in your own town helps keep a community thriving and if I can find it.. I'll share that with you, but believe me.  It works!! 

Sincerely, Pamela Dorfman
Sattler Artisans' Alley, Owner
