  • Bad news: The The great Bluestone Gallery in Milford, PA, which displays works by potter and bell-maker David Greenbaum and other nationally known artists and artisans, is going out of business. The good news is that Bluestone has dramatically reduced its prices for its final week. This is a chance to pick up quality pieces at a fraction of what they'd normally cost.
