Follow Your Heart!

Heart-shaped dishes and ornaments by Mrinalini Deshpande


Hearts abound at the Dancing Eye Gallery!

We want you to have a heart and visit us for that Valentine-inspired gift!

Remember, Valentine's Day is Thursday, February 14! Don't miss it or you will be heartless, and we know that's not really true.

Here's a heartfelt note: We'll wrap your gifts!  Heart, heart, hooray!!!

Art is Everywhere

Newly arrived are frames for our Quotable cards! Now that perfect card you chose to give because it had just the right quote on the front can be framed and displayed, not discarded with other not-as-clever cards! The frame and card make a great hostess gift, friend gift or just an additional bonus.
And speaking of frames, our Main Street side of the Dancing Eye Gallery is host to a reproduction of Giovanni Paolo's Interior of St. Peter's, Rome compliments of the DIA's Inside/Out program. Familiarize yourself with all 6 works displayed around Northville this summer. Check out Free Day at the DIA on 9/23.
Remember, the Dancing Eye Gallery is open on Friday nights until 8 p.m.

New From Marlene Galperin

Hurry in to the Gallery to see new ceramics by one of our long-time local artists, Marlene Galperin! Just this morning she brought us a great selection of bowls, smaller vases, sushi trays (other uses optional!)

Her pieces have some beautiful glazes and many are insect- and reptile-themed so would be perfect for Father's Day gifting.

These creative pieces are moderately priced from $20-$48.

Arrival of the Zum!

New Zum Bars have arrived! What's a Zum Bar you say? Delicious soaps made from goats milk, packed with natural oils and available in yummy scents like Almond, Frankincense-Lavender, Geranium, Rosemary and of course Patchouli!

Fresh Scents for Spring

A fresh batch of Votivo candles have arrived at the gallery and include a variety of light and airy scents for spring.

New scents include Fresh Tomato Leaf, Champaca, Seablue Sky and Clean Crisp White.

Favorite scents like Red Currant and Teak have also been restocked.

Spring. Sprang. Sprung.

The changing of the seasons in Michigan never fails to impress. The snow is long gone and colors continue to push their way through the drab landscape. Yes folks, Spring is here!

New Arrivals for Baby

Tumpette declares "Our socks rock!", and we couldn't agree more. We just got in three adorable styles of baby socks. Each style of sock comes in a gift box containing six pairs in a rainbow of colors. They are sized for little tykes 0 - 12 months and are made from a mix of cotton, nylon and spandex. We're stocking the princess design which comes in pastel colors and feature glittery gold crowns. We have another set that are designed to look like little sneakers and even have little laces sewn onto them! My personal favorite is the set thats designed to look like argyle socks. They're adorable and perfect for the little gentleman in your life.



Also new from Trumpette are these adorable onesies. They are 100% cotton and come in bold sky blue, pink, and lime green. Each onesie has "beyond fragile" screen printed across the chest and comes with a matching cap. They come in sizes 6 - 12 months and 12 - 18 months.
