Have you found that perfect pair of earrings or conversation-piece ring to go with that new favorite outfit? Did you get a Haney magnet board to post "To-Dos" or your shopping list or homework assignments? How about a scrabble necklace with your school logo on the front and your initial on the back? Verrryy cool!  Tote bag? Card for the new teacher? Apple???

The Dancing Eye Gallery has them all! Our door is open, the weather is gorgeous and the school clock is counting down. Tick, tock, tick, tock ... Don't be late or you might be sorry!

We're open Friday nights until 8, too.

One Word

When searching for that little something for someone special sometimes it helps to just say it in one word.

Michigan artist Cherie Haney creates these magnets for those occasions. Each magnet is made of metal and comes with a decorative beaded accent. Her magnets say things like Love, Joy, Wisdom, Family, Dream, Faith, Hope, Dance, Namaste and more.

Hearts a Plenty!

Give someone your heart this Valentines Day. Better yet, give them one of ours!
