5 reviews for Many Hands Gallery
Even though I could find similar places like this in SF or around the bay area, I thought this place was cute and had lots of knick knacks for your paddy wacks. Not sure where that came from, but let's go with the flow.... Like Roger W stated in his review, there are lots of items of a spirituatl nature, which is sorta my cup of tea, so, I loved browsing around. The owner had local items which is a nice touch, especially when you want to make sure you are buying something unique if you are from out of town.
There was a beautiful necklace pendant(?) of an elaborate tree formed from different pieces of of intriquite curved silver wires. It was gorgeous and I would have bought it if it wasn't $125 bucks! However, I do believe it was worth that much for the work that was put into it, but not in my budget at this time. boohoo. They had plenty more affordable pieces though.
I ironically left with some local soy candles that smelled great. They had some fun/unique scents such as Monkey Farts (which was actually nice, believe it or not), Pear Berry, Old Fashioned Apple Pie, Orange Danish, Pineapple Mango, Desire, Rain Forest. I love soy candles because they usually smell much more fragrant than wax.
OH, and the plus was that the candles were made by a company that supports disabled (or differently abled) workers! Being the Social Worker I am, I had to get them!
We love Many Hands. We've gotten many a Christmas and birthday present here, from Huichol beaded figurines to beautiful Kütahya ceramics from Turkey. Last Christmas we got everyone a Turkish nazarlik (a blue glass evil-eye pendant) as a stocking stuffer. Many Hands tries to buy ethically on fair-trade principles, often dealing directly with craftsman's cooperatives. A great place to stop in and browse, and if you need to buy a gift, it's full of great ideas. One of Old Town Eureka's cooler shops.
Awesome selection of stuff you can give for gifts. Has something for everyone. Very friendly and helpful staff. We love this store.. Too many positives to list.
Leave small kids at home, too many fragile gifts. My four year old loves this store, but she is a good listener.
This is a find in historic Eureka if you are into handcrafted, artisan craftworks. There were many items there of a spiritual nature, wikka, Christian, etc with many of the usual burlwood, glasswork and turquoise you would expect to be there.
Astra the manager was especially helpful in getting a delicate selection wrapped and boxed even though there was a street fair going on outside the store and there were plenty of customers.
Its work a drop by if you are in Eureka.
I know the owner of this place,Phil, as he is my neighbor. This is such a great place, it's like an art gallery and gift shop in one. There are nick knacks but lots of nice things too. Very artsy and local crafts too. The prices are good for what they have to offer. It is located right across from the Gazebo in old town Eureka. It is well worth a visit if you are in the area. They love to help tourists and are proud of what they sell and proud to offer you any assistance with places to see in the area.
