The Great Northwest


Northwest Art and Frame is one of The Barron Collection Ltd.'s original customers and continues to be a favorite of ours. Their buyer, Debbie Numoto, started as a cashier 25 years ago and has been their buyer for over 15 years. An artist in her own right, working there is a perfect match!
Here's what Debbie reports:

What's Hot: Novelty items, products that make people laugh, smile and feel happy! Popular motifs include birds, nests, eggs and butterflies. Glittery items and cards are selling!

What's No
t: Anything over $30. Candles sales are down but fragrance diffusers are up
.
She has been seeing a lot of navy. It's the new color that is in fashion. Brown is down! "

"It's really about the price point and the feel good factor." says Debbie while adding, "the art department is doing very well because people are making their own gifts and cards."


Northwest Art and Frame is located at 4733 California Ave SW, Seattle, WA.
