Upcoming Art Show in Arlington Heights

This weekend (May 30-31) we will be participating in the Promenade of Art in Arlington Heights sponsored by Northwest Community Hospital. The show is in downtown Arlington Heights at the intersection of Vail and Campbell Streets. We will be in Booth #190 which is all the way on the west end of Campbell Street next to the Performing Arts Center booth. Hours are 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day.

We will be presenting a fabulous assortment of dichroic glass jewelry and home accessories. Over 300 new pieces will be available, including the vintage collection of jewelry which features a combination of vintage costume jewelry components and dichroic glass. This collection will be introduced for the first time at the show.

Those unable to attend the show will be able to see the remaining new items at Brie's for one day only, Tuesday June 2.

This is our first time to participate in this show with the current promoter and are so excited to be a part of it! The weather outlook is beautiful and we look forward to not only sharing our art with a new group of patrons but also to let them know about our store.

New Photo - Storefront

Finally, a sunny day! I've been wanting to shoot a new photo of the exterior of the store for a long time. My camera is not working well on its batteries so this photo was shot with my iPhone. I highly recommend the iPhone for its picture-taking capability. It is so easy to shoot photos, organize them and e-mail them to yourself or others.
