Abrash offers a unique and pleasant environment for business networking.  My Women’s Business Network took advantage of this opportunity at Abrash to help its members to build new relationships and develop contacts.  The evening was filled with great conversation, fun, laughter and good food.  It was a pleasure to host the event, and getting wonderful feedback from our guests on our collection always raises our spirits.

As hard as it is for us to believe that it has already been four years since we opened our doors, it is indeed a celebration that we are thriving despite the economy.  We certainly owe our success to you, our loyal customers.  We remain committed to our pledge to provide only the best in quality and service, and realize more every day that you deserve no less.  It was a great pleasure to share our joy with our friends and clients, of course in company of delicious food.  Thank you for your support!

To ease the pains of holiday shopping, Cool Cleveland came out with a holiday shopping guide of where to shop for your specific tastes of holiday needs.  Our gallerie was featured as a “sundries” selection, for our variety of unique, hand-made, one-of-a-kind items.  They even mentioned that we were a “hidden gem” worth seeing.

When writer Rosemary Downing walked into our gallerie, she seemed so interested in what it was we had to offer.  She wanted to know about our story, and learn about the pieces we had available.  She sat down and listened to my daughter who occasionally comes in as a helping hand, as she described what it was that we bring to the culture of Cleveland Heights by having this gallerie.

It seems she was so delighted that she felt compelled to publish a story about us.  To read the article, click here.

The focus of our Open House this time was newly created quilt jackets as part of our unique wearable art collection.  The jackets are one-of-a-kind, hand-sewn patchwork designs with antique materials.  Our guests appreciated these special features and we appreciated their great enthusiasm.

In a nice article written on RugNews.com, our gallerie was described as “eye-catching” and “thriving”: two words we love associated with our space.  Thanks to author, Denise Gallaghr, who I was briefly able to speak with, for posting a wonderful and honest story about this location.

Dear Friends and Clients,

It was a pleasure to see so many of you last weekend.  I truly enjoyed the company and am grateful for your time and care.  The weather, especially on Saturday, was indeed a challenge for all of us, and I know that hot soup, tasty food and good wine was only a small consolation for your effort to come.  If you could not join us this time, not to worry as I look forward to other happy occasions in the future to host you.

Please share your thoughts and opinions with others in this blog.  You can be sure that I will listen to your feedback and act on any recommendations and advice.

Abrash is committed to serve you with utmost dedication and quality.

Yours sincerely,

Tuba Gokoglu, the owner of Abrash Gallerie
