It's good to be back! Our last blog post was on July 7th, and we spent the time between then and now moving back to Altadena. With that monumental task behind us, we can now look forward to being more closely involved with the goings on here, and preparing the store for the upcoming holiday season. Halloween decorations and products are up and on the shelves, we've got some new artists' works hanging on the walls, displays are being moved around, and WFS is ready to party!
One thing is for certain - we can always count on our local artists and entrepreneurs to provide us with inspiration and fabulous hand made merchandise to please even the pickiest of gift-givers! New in the store this summer are the cutest kids' hats from MySoul Designs that are colorfully perfect for the fall season ahead; and Lynda Pyka's beautiful infant and toddler sized embellished onesies for little girls are adorably affordable, plus there are coordinating socks! Photographers Tony Russo and Bernie Kane are new to our walls, and their work is undeniably stirring. Fresh and vibrant colors make Peggy Carroll's acrylic on canvas works sing, and Steven Guiterrez's intricate pencil work still draws oooohs and aaaaahs from customers! Of course, Patrick Gothard's designs always draw the eye as well! Local food vendors are helping to add spice to your palate with tasty sauces, like Jabberwocky Smooth Jerk Sauce, David's Unforgettables, Earl's Gone Wild. Offerings from Sierra Madre Grocery Company will make your appetizers and main dishes be the absolute best, while chocolates from Imagine Chocolates and John Kelly Chocolates are a sweet (local) treat!
We'd also like to thank our friends, local photographers Ibarionex Perello and Deb Halberstadt, who both recently volunteered their skills for us! Ibarionex, while testing out a new wide-angle lens camera, took some great shots of the store; and Deb took some fabulous photos of our self publishing seminar held last week, and we thank them both! Here's a couple of the pics, Ibarionex & the store below, and Deb's photo of seminar leader Adrianne Marie Hall.
Please consider this an open invitation to drop by and see all this, and more, at our store nestled between the pharmacy and the thrift shop - we're open daily and would love to see you, and make sure you sign up for our monthly newsletters, where you'll find out about all our in-store specials and events!
Until next week,
Lori and Scott Webster
