Three dozen locally-owned businesses on Larchmere Boulevard welcome
the
holiday season with good cheer and nostalgic fanfare. Come browse
the boulevard and discover old-world shopping in your hometown
neighborhood.
Like old-time winter festivals around the world, a traditional horse
and carriage will give free rides up and down the boulevard on Friday
12-4pm.
Best
Horse Drawn Carriage Service from Farmdale Ohio will provide the
horse
and buggy.
On Saturday 1-3pm, Mr. Jingeling kicks off a new chapter with a book
signing of a new book by Teri Arthur and Rob Sirn. Mister
Jingeling
Keeper of the Keys continues the tradition of the well-loved
Cleveland
character. Books both new and old entice the shopper into new
discoveries
at Loganberry, with one of the best bibliophilic collections in town.
Elsewhere on Larchmere, music, food, and great deals abound, from
the
crafts at Dancing Sheep to the Asian antiquities at John Young's.
Enjoy classic good food at Larchmere Tavern or the brand-new Flying
Cranes
Cafe. The exquisitely wrapped packages at Elegant Extras are always
a treat in and of themselves, and fine yarns at Fine Points are a craft
lover's dream. Come discover these wonderful stores, and more, during
the Larchmere Holiday Stroll.
No need to box yourself in huge stores this Thanksgiving weekend;
instead
get a breath of fresh air and come browse the boulevard. Treasures
await you.
Remainder Highlights
Remainders are publisher overstocks and discontinued
titles sold very cheaply. Some are academic titles, esoteric
literature, gorgeous coffee table books, art, architecture,
photography, and children's books. The ones we selected are not puff
pieces, but interesting, informative, and some are gorgeous
pieces of publishing. We have something for everyone
on your shopping list, all well below original publishing price. We
also have great used books and collectible
vintage books, too, of course, but here is a sampling from our latest,
and most
exciting, haul of remainder books.

The Photography Club of the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes is an
active group of local photographers, some amateur, some professional.
Several members have had solo shows here at the Annex Gallery, but in
December the whole club will have a chance to show their work, and to
highlight the natural wonders of the Nature Center we all love. They
also have created a 2008 fund-raising calendar, and the original photos
will be on display, along with the calendar for sale. Show runs
December 6 thru 31.
In Concert

Thursday, December 13, 6:30pm-9:00pm
~ second Thursdays ~
The band has called our LitArts room a warm and acoustically great
performance space, and they are excited to be able to play fully
acoustic, and the sound is great! So come on by, bring a bottle of
wine perhaps and enjoy some munchies as you tap your feet and take a
load off. Happy swing music does wonders for the psyche...
Their second Thursday performance here has been extended through
February at least, so you can mark your calendar ahead.
Donations for the band gladly accepted.

F291: funny bunnies
I used to read this story to my prescool class back in 1989. It was
a donated book from a little girl whose family really liked it. They
had a hard time finding a copy of it and when they did they donated it
to us. So by that I'm assuming that the book was probably written back
in the late 70's, from what I can remember of the pictures. The plot
of the book is about a little bunny who lives in a small apt. with his
parents. Each time there is a knock at the door more bunnies come into
the apt. and by the end of the book the room is filled with "just a
bunch of funny bunnies!" I have read this book so many times for the
few years I taught at the school, but all I can remember is the last
line of the book about, "just a bunch of funny bunnies!". I'm hoping
you can help me locate a copy so I can get it for my grandchildren.
Thank-you so much for all your help.
Oh, and I got profiled in CoolCleveland.com
this week. Thanks to Kelly Ferjutz for making this biz sound
so interesting!
