Please spread the word and drop by for some delicious treats, a glass of wine, and some holiday cheer. Creative works include jewellery, paintings, hats, textiles, upcycled wool and cashmere, and hand made soaps.
Come to shop or just to be inspired by the beautiful creations!
I just read an article in the Wall Street Journal called "Online Retail: Dead or Just Resting". What I found funny about this article was a comment someone wrote in lamenting the demise of Christmas as Christmas. No this wasn't a some Christian suggesting we put Christ back into Christ-mas. It was someone reminiscing about the days of yore when Shopping Malls cared. They actually put tinsel up in the parking lot, and had real christmas music playing! Now all you see are plastic santas and experience the same shopping experience as any other day. Oh the irony of commercializing. Don't these capitalists know you need to differentiate the capitalist experience otherwise people will be unhappy. Bring back the real Santa, bring back real (canned) Christmas music, bring back the holiday bustle of shopping in Bricks and Mortar. Please, please won't some corporate mogul get a sentimental, nostalgic feeling for shopping of days gone by and bring back the tinsel in the parking lot!
