Good-Bye Holiday Isle

Sadly, after a good long run at Holiday Isle in Islamorada, FL, Unique Arts and Crafts and Unique Elements have vacated the premises. Ron Johnson, owner and featured jewelry artist, has taken to the road and to the World Wide Web.



Ron first set up his booth at the end of Bimini Row on the marina pennisula in the mid-eighties. A folding table, BIG umbrella and a hand full of stones and wire was all it took to get him going. It seems he has now gone full circle; he now uses a tent and three folding tables to take with him to arts and craft shows around Florida and beyond.



Ron is grateful to be an invited featured artist at Islamorada's Worldwide Sportsman/Bass Pro Shops. He can be found there at the bow of Hemmingway's boat, twisting wire instead of a fishing reel. Although, he does have a stunning 14k white and yellow gold fishing reel pendant which he may be demonstrating its ability to turn due to it's 27 moving parts!



Check out the show schedule on his website; http://www.uniqueartsandcrafts.com/about_us.html or better yet, give Ron a call, he would love to hear from you: 305-297-1932
