MAKE

saturday was such a good day. i decided i would try to do all of my christmas shopping in the locally owned shops in my area (NOT finished, y'all) and checked out a very local new place called MAKE on the way.

when i say local, i mean local, because it's about 2 minutes by foot from my front door. i am so overjoyed about this new space. its so snazzy! they're working on a coffee-shop set up (you know, with places to sit) but for now it consists of an espresso bar at the rear, and an interesting display of the locally-made products hung from the ceiling like a baby's crib mobile. the featured products will change every month or so, and i was told Wi-Fi is on the way! the girls graciously let me hang a poster for the POP UP and take a few pictures around the gallery. i may have also picked up a little something (very little) for my baby nephew, who turns 6 months old on Christmas day. what a day to celebrate! :)

on display at MAKE at the moment are local makers tony chestnut by jill sawatzky and for you, me & us by christie peters and jennifer pauls. check out the websites for their rad stuff.

and winnipeg, let's support winnipeggers!
