Shop Local

Books at the local bookshop—check. A scoop of lavender and a cake of creamy soap—check. Candle, decorative matchbox—check. These are just some of the things I've purchased here in town. Bowerbird and Friends is a group shop that caters to all tastes. Decked out for the holidays, the evolving décor is perfect for those of you who like to find the unique, but purposeful gift. I fell in love with the feather trees and a Dash & Albert rugs on this particular trip, but sadly left them behind. Owls seem to be all the rage these days and I spotted these candle holders as well as a couple of glass necklaces. And speaking of jewelry, you can find both new and vintage finds that will suit all age groups for a very nice price indeed. Check them out on your next visit to our town. (Perhaps after you've attended a workshop.)

Sweet Paul magazine available here, too!
