Guest blogger: SWP on pepperberry's.

Greetings and happy day before Pepperberry's holiday {re}veal! This is Laurie's niece SWP popping in for a quick visit. If you follow this blog, you may remember some photos I took inside the fabulous new expanded Pepperberry's a few weeks back (I'm still wiping mascara off my face from all my happy tears I shed for Laurie and her staff that week - well done, Team Pepperberry's!!)

So today, I had the absolute pleasure of heading back to the shop with my camera to capture some of what makes Pepperberry's version of the upcoming holiday so special. When I walked into the shop, the first thing that caught my eye was straw. All over the floor. You heard me.

Between you and me, I wondered if Laurie's pretty little ponytail was pulled too tight. "What is this, a barn?" And then it hit me. Duh. The manger. Of course she would think of that detail. Of course she would figure out a way to remind us why we're shopping in the first place. I could stop here, but there's more. As if remembering the reason for the season wasn't enough to stop me in my tracks, Laurie has figured out a way to celebrate the concepts of recycling/reusing/refurbishing/reinventing. You'll see this at work when the snowmen (made of rusted old bicycle tires) greet you from the window boxes. You'll notice this in the selection of unique finds like angels made from old soda cans, or candles made from sawed off old wine bottles. It certainly made me rethink things....and it definitely gave me more reason to rejoice this season. Laurie (and team), once again, well done! Thank you for sharing your vision with us :)








Have a blessed holiday and enjoy your Pepperberry's experience!
