We are all in--Phew--now to unpack

Although it seemed to me like our merchandise and fixtures were multiplying behind my back, I finally brought the last and final load to the new space on Saturday. I am definitely too old to do this again, so that is just more impetus to make this new store an AMAZING place for people to come and shop.

This week I collapsed for a few days, and today I am at the store, trying to begin to catch up with things. For one thing, we need a new phone, and we need to finish painting.

The plan is to finish all the painting in the front two rooms this Saturday, so that I can spend next week getting them set up. Our new artists will soon be dropping off their new stuff, and I just can't wait!

The new shop is going to be such a happy place to be with bright colored walls and a cozy atmosphere. My new neighbors at Balaton are great too. Next week things will be a little more organized.

Follow the progress of our move to Shaker Square as we make changes Lake Erie Artists Gallery | Transformation to a Fresh New Look at Shaker Square.

Paula - Hello, my husband and I purchased a framed piece from you a few years ago and I was hoping to buy another from you for our anniversary. Can you give me your new address, phone, hours, etc so that I may stop by over the weekend or next week? My email address is staceyhassay@yahoo.com. Thank you!
