That is one of the exciting things about working here downtown. I am not a sports fanatic, but I sure love to see the excitement of all the people coming through here. I also like to watch both basketball and baseball, although I would rather watch football on TV in a nice warm room.

Figure skating is one of my favorites, though. I met a customer in my gallery this week who came here from Washington, D.C. just as a fan to watch the trials. Pretty exciting for everyone involved.

I am sitting here in my very quiet gallery drinking my second hazelnut latte for the day. It is snowing like mad outside here in downtown Cleveland Ohio, and all around this area. The snow is gorgeous as long as I don’t have to go out and drive in it, but I will have to go home eventually.
There is just something about drinking a hazelnut latte that comforts me. It is my favorite coffee drink. Since it is so quiet, I am working mostly on the computer today. I have been updating our Zazzle gallery. Zazzle is a print-on-demand service that lets us offer items without buying quantities. It is really a cool place.

You can actually wear them in three ways:
–As a single strand–long
–As a lanyard
–And doubled with a splitter bead–short

All three ways are just stunning and you can use your existing Trollbeads on the necklace or buy new ones for your collection.

If you are not familiar with Trollbeads, it is time to learn about them. They are great collectibles and a lot of fun.!

I work just down the street from where the Cavs play, so I am constantly inundated with Cavs merchandise, fans, and other Cavs stuff all the time. It is so much fun! We also sell these great Cavs fleece scarves in our store, so if you want to keep warm this winter with a Cavs scarf, contact me.
