Expressions Gallery and Gift Shop: Celebrate!

Sherry Blatner

It’s almost the Fourth of July! There’s still time to shop for Red, White, and Blue. The Creative Arts Center is decorated with a myriad of items for you and is planning to be open on the holiday. So, no excuses, hurry in for a spectacular 4th.

This is my favorite time of the year—great weather, great food, great gift items, and my birthday. We have everything you need to create a wonderful party, everything except the food and fireworks. But think about table runners, platters, plates, and table linens.

Ladies, after you finalize your party plans, remember to decorate yourself. There’s lots of fun jewelry to choose from, including bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. Some are even perfect for the young girls in your family.

Poke around in the Gallery and you might select a perfect gift for the men in your family, too. Bring them with you while you shop, not every gift needs to be a surprise.

Don’t forget to include distant friends and family members in your thoughts this week. Choose from a huge display of handmade cards that will express your sentiments perfectly.

And, once the 4th has come and gone, there are another four weeks of shopping to plan for this month!
