Expressions Gallery and Gift Shop Doll House!
Sherry Blatner
WOW! Rush over to the Expressions Gallery and see the new Doll House constructed to hold all the clothes and accessories for the American Girl and other dolls. Truly incredible, fantastic, unbelievable—I’ve run out of words. The picture hardly does the Doll House justice.
Take your young granddaughters with you and turn the event into a photo op. Be prepared, not only will they want clothes for their dolls, they will put this on their list for Santa to deliver a huge, life-sized doll house to them.
The idea for the Doll House belongs to Cheryl Neel, one of the co-managers of the Gallery. The concept was carried out by Meg Chrisman. Outstanding!

First, Happy Holidays to everyone! We thank you for your support throughout the past year and look forward to seeing you in 2026. I also need to thank my husband, Keith, for being my photographer all year. This month’s photo is of three glass trees that are perfect for decorating small spaces; best of all they will not shed needles. You may want to consider purchasing all three and creating a decorating theme in your home.
The Gallery has a beautiful display of blue and white Hanukkah gift items. This year, Hanukkah begins on Sunday evening, Dec. 14. You have two weeks left to shop for Hanukkah.
Christmas is midweek this year, so you have three weekends to shop and all those days in between. The Gallery is filled with a fabulous array of gift items including jewelry, doll clothes, entertaining serving pieces, wall art, gourd art, books and bookmarks, and knickknacks too numerous to mention. Shopping in the Gallery is an eye-popping adventure.
We hope to see you soon, and consider joining a craft club in 2026. Not only will you be able to shop in the Expressions Gallery, but you can validate your craft skills by selling there, too!
