Harvest Time

September seems to be synonymous with "harvest" ... 

Harvest the grapes! Harvest moon. Harvest festivals.

September is a great time for housewarming parties, bonfires and just celebrating Michigan's great fall season.

The Dancing Eye Gallery has some great, new gift ideas, ripe for harvesting!

Come in! Take a look! You'll love our new Pop Greetings for wine bottles (no wrapping required!),  funky new Fred novelties and our new card line by Crazy Girl Designs!

Perfect for a hostess gift, birthday gift or a "just because" gift.

The New Year is Upon Us!

The New Year is fast approaching and we have some great gift ideas for entertaining and for partying! Who could pass up a shift knob wine bottle stopper?

Bar accessories, sparkly jewelry, Michigan products are perfect holiday gifts.

Please take note of our hours for the next few days:

Sunday, 12/30       12-4Monday, 12/31      10-2
Tuesday, 1/1         10-2
Wednesday, 1/2    Back to regular hours. Hooray!!

Mad for Monkeys!

'Tis the season when we are invited to dinner and we'd like to bring a bottle of wine for our host with just a little something else, right?  But what? Aha, we know!

"Bring a Monkey to Dinner" is the theme of the Wine Monkey. Be a party hero and cover your bottle with this cute chimp. He even covers chimpagne! (Happy New Year!)

He has friends too--scarves, bags and hand-warmers. A Petoskey stone bottle-stopper tops it off as well!

Don't forget we have extended hours:

Monday-Wednesday  10-6
Thursday  10-7
Friday   10-9
Saturday  10-7
Sunday  12-5

A-wrapping we will go ... You know what that means. 

The Wearing of the Green!

Oscar Wilde said: "I can resist everything except temptation."

Well, March is flying by. Spring your clocks ahead on the 11th and then gather with your friends and family on the 17th to celebrate "the wearing of the green" and the drinking of the beer! But don't get fluthered or you'll be sorry!

Wanting to get someone a good luck shamrock tile, or wear a little green for the occasion? Dance a jig right on over the the Dancing Eye Gallery! We have all the green. Even lime-basil Zum soap, Celtic cross coasters, beer bands and more!

I'll leave you today with an Irish blessing:

May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in Heaven a half hour before the Devil knows you're dead.

Happy New Year and Holiday Hours

Cheers to You!!!

This is a special reminder to all of our Holiday hours through 1/1/12:

Don't forget that our delightful staff will cheerfully wrap your hostess gift for your New Year's party or that lingering holiday present!! We have great New Year's Eve-themed ideas like Beer Bands, OUCH toothpick man, bottle stoppers, coaster sets, glitter earrings, rings and bracelets!

Come in and use that gift certificate that you got for Christmas!

From all of us at the Dancing Eye Gallery, we wish you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holiday and a very Happy New Year!!

Gifts for the wine lover in your life

Need a gift for the wine connoisseur in your life? Or one for someone who simply loves endless glasses of Arbor Mist? Either way the Dancing Eye Gallery has you covered. Check out these groovy wine related gifts we currently have in stock.



Cheese and cracker tray made from a recycled wine bottle by Barb Yerrace



Stunning glass bottle toppers also by Barb Yerrace



Fun and Funky wine charms from Fred. One set says things like Opulent, Overpriced and Formidable while the other takes a jab at the slightly intoxicated with words like Woozy, Boisterous and Light-Headed.



Ok so this last one is more for the beer drinker in your life, but how fun is this frog bottle opener by Fred! The Hop & Pop opener pops off bottle caps with his mouth, gets twist off caps open with his legs and uses his eyes to loosen lids.
