"We have tasty and beautiful 'Sweeterie Circle' cookies, scrumptious chocolate chippers and decadent triple chocolate fudge cookies," she said. The cookies come pre-packaged or individually. There are also a myriad of monthly special cupcakes, ranging from chocolate peanut butter to double chocolate fudge, vanilla buttermilk to coconut.

Be sure to visit Sara Benjamin's, Mariemont's designer boutique, and The Shop Around the Corner, the village's premiere interior decoration shop, for the latest seasonal fashions.

Both stores are receiving new styles and fashions for the current seasons that are a must see.

That is not an unusual seen at the barber shop. In fact, it is becoming commonplace.

More and more parties of gentlemen and coming to the barber shop for old-fashioned treatment.

The village locale is a full-service barbershop, not only offering hair cuts but also shaves, facials, good conversation, sports TV for the fan and cartoons for the child.

"We got our new batch of BeerAdvocate magazine the other day, and like many publications do this time of year, they presented their "Best of BA" lists for 2008. They listed the 25 All-Time Top Beers on Planet Earth, and we were pleased that of the 25, we had 23 of them on our shelves. The 24th used to be here, but isn't available to us now, and the 25th isn't here yet - but will be!

"Then there was the list of the 25 All-Time Top Breweries on Planet Earth. Twenty of them are available to us here in Ohio, and we have representation on our shelves from each and every one of them! Of the other 5, two used to be here but can't be anymore, and the other three are just flat out not in the state.

"Then, the 25 Top Beer Bars on Planet Earth. A lot of familiar names, from Maine and Georgia and Massachesetts and Belgium and Chicago and......and there we are, the #12 Top Beer Bar on Planet Earth, in Mariemont Ohio, as voted and rated by the web users and rating community of the BeerAdvocate.com website! Needless to say we're pretty excited around here. "
