SPA SPECIALS: "We have lots of regular customers. Many come often for facials, massages, and manicures. Also, a lot like to get the special packages, which offer a group of services at a special price. And any of the services separately can be a wonderful gift certificate." Allison Streck of Amber Spa in Pennington looks forward to welcoming clients to the spa's soothing atmosphere.

Full Range of Body and Skin Care Offered at Amber Spa in Pennington

Skin care treatment is more and more popular, especially in this high tech world. Facials and massages are great stress-relievers. They are very relaxing as well as beneficial to the body and skin. People are so rushed today and need to take some time for themselves to relax."

Gabriela Czach, co-owner with Beata Giermasiniska of Amber Spa at 16 South Main Street in Pennington, is a firm believer in the value of spa therapy for body and soul.

"For one thing, people are living longer, and they want to look and feel good and have more energy. The more you take care of yourself, the better you will feel, and our face and body treatments can help."

ART AND ANTIQUES: "My goal has been to find high quality objects and art that are somewhat out of the ordinary, and my interests are very broad. It might be something from the American Revolutionary period or something from one of the early Chinese dynasties. It is quite an eclectic selection." Leo Arons, owner of The Gilded Lion, is shown next to a Pennsylvania corner cupboard of poplar wood in original finish. Modestly sized and nicely proportioned, it dates to 1830.

High Quality Antiques and Fine Art Are Available at The Gilded Lion

Leo Arons knows about antiques. A collector for many years, he opened The Gilded Lion on Chambers Street in 1979 after an initial career as a research scientist for RCA.

"It was a gradual change into antiques," he explains. "It fulfilled my artistic need and my desire to meet people and help people. I found this a business that has been very satisfying from the standpoint of connecting with interesting objects and interesting people."

The Gilded Lion is known for its varied collection of high quality antiques and fine art, all carefully chosen by Mr. Arons.
