New Products for 2017

New products for 2017 have started to come in and we would like to introduce some of the most exciting items so far. The glass stand up plaques come in 3 sizes and have a clear sturdy base that is hardly visible. They are economically priced, so will be a great selection for a tight budget. The arch acrylic velvet awards come in 2 sizes and a choice of a vivid red or blue. And last but not least, we have the horizon glass awards in the same sizes, but different shapes. They also are priced very economically for the quality and size of the awards. New items will be featured at the beginning of each category, so they will be easy to find. More new items are on the way and we will feature them soon.

Pinwheel Garden

This week we hosted a Pinwheel Garden, after Sami from Head Start asked if we would be willing to have 100 pinwheels in front of our store. The pinwheels represent a campaign against child abuse with a slogan: “Protecting Children is Everyone's Business. Get Involved!” The local Head Start of Lane County works to ensure that the youngest children have a solid start in life free from abuse. Pinwheel_garden_1

Brass Trio CD by V3NTO

We are happy to introduce a CD with music from the brass trio V3NTO. The CD features works by Anthony Plog, Astor Piazzolla, Ennio Morricone, and more. The CD by the Brass Trio V3NTO has a mission of bringing brass trio music to life through the performance of both old and new works. The musicians include Jessica Jensen on trumpet, Anna Jacobson on horn, and Skyler Johnson on bass trombone. They are all experienced and talented performers. You can learn more about them on their website v3nto.com. I have their CD in my car and when I drive around I have it playing. Their music grows on me. I think each time I listen to the pieces I hear something new and different and I enjoy it very much. So, for all of you music lovers out there, especially those interested in brass trios, order your V3NTO Brass Trio CD today. And if you are wondering why an award shop features a music CD, there are 2 main reasons. I love this kind of music, I love to attend symphony performances, and I particularly enjoy listening to low brass. That ties in with my second reason – Skyler is my son. brass_trio_1 brass_trio_cd_1
