Bettina Having Fun!

Saturday, November 26th, 2011

Our technology knowledge is moving fast.  You will find grapics, videos, music and more on Bettina Network’s Blog.

You will also find information about companiess and reviews of events.  For the company – these are not paid advertisements – we do not take paid advertisements.  These are comments and information from a member of the Bettina Network Community who has used the company’s services and/or products, thinks they are special and wants to share that information with the rest of the Bettina Network Community.

For events – someone from the Bettina Network decides which events we will attend and review.  If we attend an event, that does not mean that attendance will result in a review.  All of that depends upon what we think about what we have seen, heard and experienced.

Hope you enjoy the results – especially now that we have entered the picture age.

Lemlem’s Gallery (updated)

Monday, October 6th, 2008

12B Eliot Street                                                           This brick and mortar store is gone, but her handmade
Cambridge, MA. 02138                                              handblown glass lamps with elegantly made shades are
Hours: Mon-Sat 10am-6pm, Sun 1pm-5pm            still seen in other stores around the Boston area.
telephone: 617 547 1447
fax 617 547 1449

A very elegant discovery! We like to pop in at least once a week just to look at all the beautiful art works which appear with great regularity. Our favorites are the lamps – hand blown glass bases with truly special shades which you won’t find anyplace else because they are all handmade and one of a kind.

There is a small collection of clothes which could be put in the category of Fine Art; Sculptures, including mobiles with small people and places to hang in your window or some unexpected place in the home; Wood carvings; clock which will astound you with their imagination and impeccable craftsmanship; jewelry with stones used in interesting ways with wonderful rings; and much, much more.

If you don’t find anything else you must take home a pair of the slippers which will remind you of this gallery for a very long time as you pad comfortably around the house.
