I am starting a new blog to talk about my experience with Trollbeads as it grows. That blog can be found at http://trollbeadscleveland.blogspot.com/. I will be talking about all of the adventures as we develop this great line of jewelry at our gallery. So follow me there, and you will get to hear all about Trollbeads.
The gallery has been getting quite busy over the last two weeks. With the onset of cold weather, people are starting to shop for the holidays early. No one seems to want to miss them, so they are starting earlier to spread out the spending because of the economy.
Look for giant changes of our website in December. It will be much more user friendly with the changes in place.
Today I am spending time rearranging the gallery to make space for some new boutique items that are coming in soon. We will be carrying some unique clothing items this holiday season. If they do well, we will continue to add more items of this nature. The first two items that are coming in are some really great knit hats by artist Dee Hall. The other item is a selection of really cool jean jacket cut artsy jackets that will have colorful patterns. They make a great addition to any casual or business wear. Definately a piece that can make an outfit. As soon as they come in, hopefully within two weeks, I will let everyone know.
(Above--Trollbeads rings) Folks, if you are not in Cleveland, or can't make it to the Trollbeads Trunk Show, never fear, you can still take advantage of the show specials by emailing or phoning in your order. Even if the beads are not in our store stock, we can order them from Troll for no extra charge. Because the line is so new to us, we are not yet even close to fully stocked but that is one exceptional thing about the Trollbeads line--we can order one bead at a time if we need to. No waiting for a minimum order. So email or call, and we will hold your order or ship to you for free. Go directly to the Trollbeadsus.com website, look at the beads and accessories there, and then let us know which ones you want. If you have any questions, please email me at sales@lakeerieartists.com. The trunk show is Friday October 24 through Thursday October 30. It has been a super long day here--nine hours from MA to Ohio--so off to bed for me.

This piece is in the gallery and I am waiting for more next week.Hope everyone has marked their calendar for our Trollbeads Trunk Show from October 24 - October 30. If you do not live in Cleveland, but would like to take part, you can just call and order what you want over the phone and we will ship to you for free (within the US). Just pay via credit card or paypal.
I will be in Springfield, MA this weekend at the wedding of a cousin. We will be driving through a few states on the way. So wave as I pass. See you when I get back. . . Todaloo!!!
Autumn is truly here, and excitement is setting in as people are coming inside to avoid cold, rainy weather, and already start shopping for the holidays. Yesterday, in the gallery, I had two women who were shopping for holiday gifts, and bought several items, and Saturday several holiday shoppers as well.
