Holiday Wish List

I think it's official; the holidays are here. And to celebrate this, let me introduce the James St. North Wish List!

Here's how it works:

• pick up this Wish List at any of the participating retailers
• fill out the items you just must have this holiday season and the store where you found them
• give your completed list to whoever is shopping for your gift (or you can use it to shop for yourself!)
• when it's time to shop, just bring the Wish List in to the participating store and you'll get 15% off! Just for using this list! Pretty amazing, right?

You can find and use the Wish List at any of the following retailers...

• Relish
• White Elephant
• Hawk & Sparrow
• i fiori
• Art Gallery of Hamilton Design Annex
• Hansen & Lubbers
• Humblepie
• Mixed Media
• O's Clothes
• Needlework
• Mulberry Street Cafe

And finally, here are Relish's hours for the month of December

Mon-Tues:   closed
Wed-Thurs: 12pm - 6pm
Fri:              12pm - 8pm
Sat:             11am - 5pm
Sun:            12pm - 4pm

See you soon!

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.  :-)

Relish in Yesterday's Spectator!!

Big news - Relish was in The Spectator!

Just in case you didn't catch the article on the front page (!!) of the GO section yesterday, here it is!

There's lots of great clothing featured from Relish (Preloved, Allison Wonderland, Simone's Rose), as well as shoes from Solee shoes, jeans from Rivet and Taylor, and accessories from White Elephant.

This makes me very proud of Hamilton's independent businesses. Please feel free to pass this article along to anyone who might be interested.

And don't forget that Art Crawl is happening this Friday evening - hope to see you then!
