Gallery Watch
By Ruth A. Koenigsmark and Christine A. Kazimer
Spring has sprung! Time for parties everyone! Isn't it great when you can start a season with a rhyme? Sadly, there were no gallery openings to recount, but still plenty of reasons to visit our Lakewood galleries this time of year, for instance, bachelorette parties, baby showers, barbeques and birthdays to name a few. These events come into full bloom this time of year, and it takes some ingenuity to come up with that perfect gift or as in our case, gifts.
We had shopping to do, so we started at bela dubby so that we could enjoy our new favorite treat, a Hazelnut Steamer, and formalize a game plan. While sipping, we did some speedy calculations and realized that we had four gifts to purchase with only a few hours to do it. So,wasting no time, we bolted out the door and down the street to Wobblefoot Gallery. Luck was with us as we quickly settled on our first purchase, a book "The Journeys of Wobblefoot". And then off to Pop Shop we went, deciding that home made candles made by owner Rich Cihlar would make a fantastic hostess gift for the barbeque we were attending.
Now that gift number two was securely under our belt, our next stop was Local Girl Gallery to find that something special for the girl who just graduated. With so many choices, and much debate, we finally agreed that a pair of crystal earrings by Crystal Creations would be fabulous.
With one gift to go, and feeling pretty confident, we were off to the Beck Center where we settled on another form of art- Theater Tickets. We were done, and under three hours!
We ended our shopping spree at Rozi's Saturday wine tasting where we toasted our great finds and our fabulous Galleries.
