Be Original - Buy Original

With dozens of catalogs and e-blasts filling our mailbox and inbox everyday it's easy to get caught up in the "what's hot now" web of style. Sadly enough, today's trends quickly turn into yesterday's has been's and soon end up as dusty inhabitants living in our attics, closets and garages.

Each and everyone one of us is uniquely different and we have our own styles. We express ourselves, through clothing, cars, pets, music...the list is endless. The same goes for our homes. They are extensions of our self expression. So why be like everyone else when it comes to the way we decorate? Why hang the same print that thousands of others have hanging on their walls?  Be original, get creative, and purchase a one-of-a-kind work of art. You don't have to spend a lot of money, or travel to a big city, original art and artists can be found in virtually every neighborhood, at every social gathering, and with the help of the internet the possibilities are endless! Next time you are in the market for something new and different, be the talk of town...
BE ORIGINAL - BUY ORIGINAL!

Sideshow Art

STEP RIGHT UP FOLKS!
Prepare to be SHOCKED and AMAZED
at the sights you are about to see!


Throughout the years Sideshows have been a favorite of all ages, and during the mid 1800's to mid 1900's they played an integral part in most circuses and fairs. For those daring enough to step inside the tent, unimaginable sights and chilling feats were sure to unnerve even the strongest of will. Sword-Swallowers, Contortionists and Human Pincushions were just a few of the oddities hidden behind the canvas walls.

Mike Hale's recent collection of Sideshow paintings is a tribute to the bizarre acts and grand banners that lured in curious onlookers. Below are just a few of the pieces that are currently on display at Sweet Mabel in Narberth, PA. Be sure to stop by for a visit and you too will be SHOCKED and AMAZED!!! ~ Co.
