Expressions Gallery – Retail therapy

Sherry Blatner

No kidding, this is not an April Fools joke. Retail therapy is good for you! It lifts your spirits. And here’s how:

The Gallery is now featuring wine bottle decorator pieces. One bottle is enhanced by a cluster of glass grapes and is lit from within by a battery-operated switch. Just lovely to sit and gaze upon; you will find yourself mellowing even without imbibing. Another bottle is also beautifully decorated and then topped with two small candles; aroma therapy at its best.

To further your wine bottle experience, admire the array of glass cheese platters, serving dishes and embellished utensils that will help enhance your home. Purchases from the Gallery will allow you to experience harmony and balance at home. Adding friends to the mix of home entertaining creates a date to savor. And here’s the corker, there is a nice grouping of serving pieces and trays constructed from corks.

The Gallery is replete with items to further help you recover from your spring break guests of all ages. Did you know that many gem stones, including those for sale at the Expressions Gallery, are attributed to have spiritual and healthful benefits? Consider the benefits of wearing the following stones:

Green aventurine inspires optimism, self-confidence and peace. Blue lace agate helps you connect with your inner wisdom. Picture Jasper allows you to live your life in balance. Moonstone is a stone of mystery, self-discovery, insight and dreams. Quartz will enhance your clarity. Amethyst provides you with a feeling of protection. Serpentine provides a connection with nature.

Now, come on in and try on one of the necklaces, bracelets or earrings on display in the Gallery and begin to experience the bliss of retail therapy. I know you’ll enjoy the pleasure a new gem will provide you, especially once the compliments start flowing your way. By the time we celebrate Earth Day on April 22 you’ll be in tune with the universe.
