Holiday Open House!

The one consolation about the arrival of this cold weather is that the Holidays are coming! And lucky for you, the shops along James North are having a Holiday Open House on Friday November 25th and Saturday November 26th. This includes Relish, Mixed Media, Chaises Musicales, La Petite Spa, Humble Pie, White Elephant, i Fiori and Hawk & Sparrow.

This map shows you exactly where these shops are so you can't miss us!

Relish will be open from 11am-9pm on Friday and from 11am-6pm on Saturday, and everything in the store will be 15% off!!! 

I'll have yummy snacks on hand, and holiday tunes on the radio, so come by for a visit and a little early gift shopping. Hope to see you here!

Now, I have to admit I'm one of those people who adores the Holiday season and actually does not ever get sick of hearing Christmas music. But what's not to love? An excuse to bake all kinds of treats, drink eggnog, and eat way more chocolate and cookies than are ever good for you. Not to mention a few days off to hibernate with family and friends and just enjoy spending some quality time together. Preferably involving chocolate.  :-)

New Art!

Well I just have to gush about the latest additions to our ongoing collection of Hamilton artwork....

Ilya accidentally did some shopping at Mixed Media last week and came home with the new Paul Elia print below (find out more about his Hamilto Strip work here). We LOVE his images, and this one speaks to us because it's of Locke Street - our 'hood!! It's so cool the way these are just a snapshop in time. There's already at least one new storefront on Locke since this was taken.

And just the day before buying this, Ilya came home (finally!) with this painting of the Pigott Building by Amy Kenny that he won at last year's Timeraiser (which is an awesome event, by the way, so be sure to check it out!). Let me tell you, we've been waiting for this one to come home for a LONG time. So excited!

Thank you Hamilton artists - you're the best!
