real stuff gallery and gifts

Our friend has been wanting to visit this unique store for a long time. So, we got together and made the trip to West Valley, NY. The store is owned and operated by Debby and Paul Boccolucci. Debby does bead work/jewelry and Paul welds metal into interesting and sometimes strange sculpture. It's a lot of fun to walk around both the grounds and in the store to see all the "stuff" that Paul has created. Prices range from small amounts (under $10) to large amounts (hundreds of dollars). There are things for both outside and inside your house as well as Christmas ornaments and other seasonal sculptures.It was a lot of fun and with the holidays coming up,start your shopping early to find that unique gift for the unique person in your life. The store is located at 10155 Route 219, West Valley, NY and you can visit the website at www.realstuffgalleryand gifts.com.

I drove pass t his place on my way home from Canada, I was just trying out different route, had no idea this place exist until I saw many giant size metal art work scattering along Route 219. Local artist Paul Boccolucci turns metal into artwork. The place is located on Route 219, between Springville and Ellicottville. You cannot miss it, because you will see giant sunflower, metal warrior, beautiful glass bottles ornament. Check out my photos. I believe the gallery was established on this piece of farmland from about 12 years ago. Blacksmithing to art. If you happen to be in the area, don't miss it. There is no fee or anything.
