Simply... has moved to a New and Improved location in Downtown Cranford

They simply outgrew their space…

Simply… a unique, kitschy custom framing, gift store, and art gallery in downtown, Cranford, NJ has just moved to a larger location at 11 North Union Avenue, next to Little Scoops Ice Cream Parlor. Patrons can expect to find more unique, one-of-a-kind items; more interior decor; more custom art pieces; more jewelry, candles, gifts and more.  Access the Miln Street Municipal Parking lot through the store’s back entrance.

“Despite the economy, we needed to expand,” said Gary Fletcher, proprietor and framer extraordinaire. “I just didn’t have the necessary space to have a dedicated art gallery and display the great, unique work of local artistians,” he said. “The art gallery on the first level is currently displaying the work of Ken Karlic, and local artists Susan Barnes and Jeremy Schwartz. The level floor has an assortment of unique home accessories, gifts, hand-crafted jewelry plus a kids’ section with hand-painted letters, brag books/growth books/ baby books plus one that captures a baby’s foot print, and other interesting stuff.”

As a way to give back to the community after Hurricane Irene, Simply… is offering a 30% coupon off custom framing if you experienced damage and need to rebuild… and redecorate.

Simply… will host its first jewelry trunk show in the new location on Friday, Oct 21^st, 7am-9pm and Saturday, Oct 22^nd 10-5 pm. This show will feature the hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind jewelry of Linda O, and as an added bonus on Friday between 7-9pm, will host a seminar with beauty and make-up consultant Debra Nickolls Fall 2011, Beauty made Simple. All are invited to attend.

A grand opening gathering will be held on November 11^th from 7-9 pm. Wine and cheese will be served, with live Jazz music performed by Carma Jazz. All are invited to attend.

This SOHO-like art gallery space is also available to host small business and personal gatherings. Simply is always looking to display the work of new and seasoned artists. Please contact Gary to find out more about party bookings and displaying your work in the Simply… gallery.
