Artists pool together to form holiday gift shop

Saturday, December 5, 2009

From blown glass to knitted items, shoppers can find it all in one place with the opening of an artist, crafter and home-based business cooperative that has opened for the holidays at 1122 Commercial St.

Local resident Erin Woods, who creates crocheted crafts, was looking for a place to sell her items for the holidays. She also knew other people with home-based businesses. Together they came up with the idea of opening up a temporary holiday store. Within a couple of weeks, the idea fell together, and the store opened up at 1122 Commercial St., next to Wheat State Pizza. More than 10 artists, crafters and home-based business owners have come together to form the holiday shop. The store could be open long-term, Woods said.
