I was so excited this week when Allen was chosen in the top 20 of Money Magazine’s list of Best Places to Live:  America’s Best Small Cities.  At #20 on the list, Allen is a great city with so much to offer and I could not be happier being a resident here.  It’s full of great families, top-performing schools, kids activities, tons of eco-friendly new development and yet it still maintains the small town charm that won me over 4 years ago when my husband and I moved here from Dallas.  

I am thrilled to be showing off a new wall display of some recent client portraits.  It’s at JAVA & GELATI at 1206 E. Main (Main @ Allen Heights) here in Allen.  You should go by and check it out and while you are there, have a scoop of one of the many flavors of gelato that they offer. I recently had my first gelato experience and I was hooked from the first taste of the Dutch Chocolate (I ate it too fast, or I’d show a photo!).  They also make some awesome coffee drinks too, so if you’re miserable in this Texas heat or need a tasty java boost- they have it all! Also, while you are waiting on your cup of creamy heaven to be made, don’t forget to check out all the stunning artwork created by several local artists!  

Here’s one of the flavors I had the other day…  spumoni.    Don’t look if you are dieting  :)
