COLUMBUS ALIVE!! Reader's Poll

Thank you to all of our fans who voted for us as Columbus' Best Gift Shop.  The results are in, and we placed 2nd in the Best Gift Shop category.  Congrats to Wholly Craft, who placed 1st.  Three years in a row at the top ain't bad!  And being the second favorite gift shop in all of Columbus is still pretty sweet as well.  Thanks again for your votes!!!

SPLISH SPLASH..the new store window!!!

The very talented Bryan "Bam Bam" Grey ahs done it again!!  He has created a stupendous window for us and the whole neighborhood's viewing pleasure!  The What the Rock?! girl is taking a bubble bath and getting squeaky clean.  Check it out in person, but here is a sneak preview...

New local products...

We love handmade items, and Columbus has some very talented crafters.  New in the shop are:

Torn Angel Hair Clips--Local clothing designer Esther Myong Chung creates these cute flower hair clips made from scraps of silk, organza, etc. and accented with beads...



Emily, of Umbrella Girl Productions, has also brightened up our store with her lovely new potholders featuring sugar skulls, cupcakes, and guitars.  She also brought us some cute cards with cassette tapes and pirates on them.





Local jewelry maker Jill Brown, from Out of The Pink Sky, brought us some cute cat butt earrings.  These are hilarious and super fun to wear.  These will be sure to get the conversation rolling.  Who doesn't love cats and their annoying habit of showing you their butts?



More local crafty goodness will be coming all spring long.  Stay tuned...





JOAN JETT Book by Todd Oldham

Another really great book we received is the Joan Jett Book by Todd Oldham.  It covers her life story from birth to present day, chronicling her music career and a little bit of her early family life.  It talks mostly about the Runaways, her early influences, her solo career, album production, songwriting, touring with her band The Blackhearts, and her guitar sound and technique.  LOTS of pictures throughout--some have never been published before, epehmera (such as hand written song lyrics), and excerpts from 30 years of interviews.  Includes a forward from Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill.  This book pays true homage to the goddess of rock and roll, Joan Jett, who continues to inspire rock fans today.

HEAVY METAL COOK BOOK

Tons of new books have arrived at the store.  One of the best is this awesome Heavy Metal CookBook.  Featuring recipes from heavy metal bands around the world, it is filled full of favorite recipes from members of Thin Lizzy, Mayhem, Anthrax, Kreator, Sepultura, Destruction, Possessed, Obituary, Accept, Doro, Gwar, Toxic Holocaust, Saint Vitus, Amebix, Uriah Heep, Budgie, and many more.

Our winter accessory sale has been extended through the weekend!!  All of our winter accessories (hats, gloves, scarves, earmuffs, etc) are now 35% off through April 3rd.  It's Ohio, so it may still snow in April.  Or stock up for next year while saving money! It's a win-win.
