YOU SAY YOU CAN'T BEAR TO SHOP ON BLACK FRIDAY?


Yeah, I'm with you. Who enjoys trolling a parking lot for 30 minutes looking for a place to park? How fun is it to fight the crowds in the aisles, and then wait in line forEVER to pay for your purchases? Why would you want to spend Thanksgiving weekend doing all that?

May I suggest a delightful alternative: Downtown Powell's Annual Holiday Open House, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Visit Powell's unique boutiques, galleries, gift and antique shops! You'll find refreshments and smiles, one-of-a-kind gifts, music and joy, some special sales and prizes-- and best of all, you'll discover the joy of shopping with personal service and a relaxed atmosphere.


You're going to love Serendip more than ever this weekend! We're pulling out all the stops to make our Open House Weekend a great one! We'll be serving up wassail and music, snacks and sales, and on Friday, Daryl Roche will demonstrate his wire jewelry techniques. We have stocked up on extra-special art and handcrafted treasures by our 50+ artists, and we promise a pleasant, relaxing, friendly shopping weekend!


Many of our fellow downtown merchants will also be offering Open House Weekend festivities. After you've come to Serendip, you may want to visit a few others.

A Certain Charm lives up to their name with charming home accents, consignment clothing, and gorgeous accessories, plus their pick-a-discount basket.

Judy at Remembrances will guide you to distinctive gifts and collectibles to compliment the traditional, country and victorian home-- and offers a discount coupon for the Open House Weekend.

Marilyn's Paris Flea Market will add homemade open house treats to their collection of upscale vintage furnishings. A quick stop into Jeni's Ice Cream and then it's on to the Candle Lab-- both are complete sensory treats.

Glorious florals and spectacular home decor will tempt you into Patina Interiors/Petals and Leaves. Shyne offers women's and kid's accessories and offers some terrific Open House specials and prizes!

Pop into Kimberly's Diamond Corner for dazzling glitters; a few steps takes you to LP Designs, showing off everything from leather bowls to contemporary birdhouses to elf shoes!

Now that you've shopped a bit, you'll be ready for a specially-priced Peppermint Hot Chocolate or a Gingerbread Chai and a snack at Espresso Yourself Music Cafe.

So, you see, holiday shopping doesn't have to be a horror. Come discover downtown Powell, and visit Serendip and let us pamper you with treats and great service!
