If I knew then what I know now… You can say that about a great many things, but today, I’m referring to PORTRAITS.  When you are young or have young children, you don’t often think about freezing a moment in time.  Trust me – in what seems like a split second, your babies turn into adults who live far away and you and your spouse reach ...

But when you pay too little, you often lose everything, for the object purchased cannot perform the task it was intended for.”  Now, I like a good bargain just as much as the next person, but I also like to think that I’m a smart enough consumer to know when to spend money and when I can go for the less ...

The Art Shop’s Inc. owner and president, Lenny Dolin, is an avid cyclist, tennis player and art lover, but unlike a lot of people who are either left brain or right brain, Lenny is also adept at debits and credits and anything to do with accounting.  What makes many people’s eyes glaze over comes easily to Lenny.  "I just know enough ...

Hi.  Lenny here -giving Arlene some well-deserved, good behavior time off from being our official blogger. Spring is here.  I know, not officially as of this writing, but I declare that spring is here.  ‘Cause I’m tired of the cold, tired of getting colds and tired of being cooped up in the house. So there! And now that spring ...

Very little is known about the winners from those years because there was little thought to documentation of the awards.  The best documented Arts Olympics were the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin. ...

For me, the TV highlights of 2013 include new seasons of Downton Abbey, Breaking Bad, Dexter, Homeland, Nashville, Mad Men and Doc Martin (if you haven’t seen it on Netflix, you should).

  How to Pick Out a Mat In the 23 years Lenny and I have owned The Art Shop, I’m guessing I have selected over 1800 mats and frames for clients and for myself. (which is probably quite low.)  With that kind of experience, I’m thinking you might call me fairly knowledgeable about the subject. Over the years, I’ve developed Arlene’s ...

... a wonderful man he was and how he had treated her like a queen her entire life.  She said they had no children and now she had no one. I let her talk for a long time, patted her arm and told her I would do the very best I could with the photo.  When she left, I immediately went to work on the photo with tears in my eyes. I know the medical ...
