What Better Place to Shop Locally For<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christmas Than Old Town Florissant<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 By Nichole Butler<\/strong><\/p>\n

All you want for Christmas this year might just\u00a0 be found in\u00a0 and around Old Town Florissant.<\/p>\n

There are several reasons to shop locally. Why? There is that perk of supporting the small businesses, most of which are housed in historic buildings and owned by fellow Florissant residents.<\/p>\n

Then, there is the very obvious thought that shopping locally usually means less traffic, less lines at the check-out, and, as written on a Christmas coupon from Silver Moon Shop on rue St. Francois, \u201cDon\u2019t Get Malled\u2026 Skip the angry mob shopping\u2026 Be kind to yourself, shop small!\u201d<\/p>\n

Unless you venture into these adorable little shops that line the streets of Old Town Florissant, there is one perk to local Christmas shopping that may not be quite so noticeable just from driving down the street\u2026 the quality of the\u00a0 merchandise and\u00a0 the people behind the counter.<\/p>\n

Florissant is home to two amazing florist shops. What better way to decorate for Christmas than with evergreens, poinsettias, and holiday floral arrangements? Both Dooley\u2019s Florist & Gifts and Stems, located down the block from one another on rue St. Francois, are fine examples of what Christmas in a floral shop should be. Walking through the doors of these shops will give you that \u201cMy cup runneth over\u201d feeling of warmth and joy. While they are both florist shops, and they are both splendid, each offers a different and yet equally enjoyable environment and each supplies a wide variety of lovely items.<\/p>\n

Available at Dooley\u2019s are the amazing, one-of-a-kind WoodWick Candles in all sorts of holiday scents. (The fireside scent is superb, and it\u2019s worth a visit to Dooley\u2019s just to sneak a sniff of it!) A large variety of Christmas ornaments are available at both shops. At Stems, the ornaments are displayed on seven different Christmas trees; each uniquely designed in a different theme.\u00a0 Anyone can come in and vote for their favorite tree.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Across the street from Stems is Silver Moon Shop, where owner and artist Pam Behlmann has transformed the historic 1909 Studeman House into a stenciling masterpiece. From the walls to the floors, which is literally just plywood stenciled to look like real hardwood, the shop is cluttered with everything adorable.<\/p>\n

Korte\u2019s on rue St. Francis, also has its own history; though instead of the building, the history resides in the family who started the company in 1946 and has been running it for the past 65 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dad started the company as an appliance store,\u201d current owner Michele Reynolds explained. \u201cWe later got into sporting goods, and eventually started custom framing. If you can think of it, I\u2019ve probably framed it. I have even once framed a cookie for someone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though custom framing is what Korte\u2019s is officially known for, there are many nice items available for purchase. From photo albums to painted wine glasses to recipe books and boxes, it is inevitable that someone could enter the shop and find something perfect for that one person on their Christmas list that already has everything. Korte\u2019s even has added a new\u00a0section of their shop available for creative\u00a0residents to rent out and sell their merchandise. One woman who embellishes and monograms everything from aprons to napkins currently has her items available for purchase at the shop and Korte’s is seeking more venders.<\/p>\n

There really is nothing wrong with tossing a bottle of perfectly fragranced cologne into a guy\u2019s stocking, but perhaps this year it might be fun to include a little something unexpected.<\/p>\n

O.S.I Sports Collectables, located on North Jefferson kitty corner from Korte\u2019s, has lots of\u00a0 affordable sports memorabilia available for purchase. You won\u2019t just find baseball cards when you walk in. O.S.I has loads of goodies, from a signed miniature box of Wheaties cereal, to a signed Cardinals baseball bat, to a signed Blues jersey. They also offer copies of collectible coins and paper money, perfect stocking stuffers for men of all ages.<\/p>\n

A little farther down from Old Town is perhaps a bit of a hidden gem in Florissant \u2013 Andrea\u2019s Boutique, owned and operated by Andrea D\u2019Angelo, who grew up in Florissant. The shop is a bit on its own, since it is located at 1145\u00a0 North Lafayette near Lindbergh, but it is still close and well worth the find. D\u2019Angelo opened her shop while trying to decide what she wanted to do when she grew up. \u201cI wanted something that could incorporate all of the things that I loved,\u201d D\u2019Angelo said. Indeed, she has.<\/p>\n

Art, furniture, jewelry, purses, clothes\u2026 it can all be found at Andrea\u2019s Boutique. The shop is a vintage lover\u2019s paradise. Enjoy soft music as you stroll through, sizing shoes or\u00a0admiring D\u2019Angelo\u2019s paintings, and the\u00a0thumb through a glorious selection of fur coats and purses while taking in the old Hollywood movies that she has playing in the front room. Take a break at her store on one of the most comfortable couches you’ll find anywhere<\/p>\n

A newcomer to the Old Town scene is another upscale boutique, Brief Reflections Resale LLC, where you won’t believe that the merchandise here is pre-owned. Owner Juanita Miller offers many top of the line clothing labels, plus accessories like purses and shoes and jewelry, items that\u00a0 you would find at many West County locations.\u00a0 Brief Reflections is located at\u00a0 111 rue St. Francois, at the western most edge of Old Town, just two blocks from Old St. Ferdinand Shrine.<\/p>\n

Old Town Florissant has a lot of unique and thoughtful gift ideas, many of which cannot be found in one-stop shops. There are too many creative little shops to mention, each with its own genre of beautiful merchandise from the jewelry at Don Henefer Jewelers (you know what she wants guys!) to the link’s equipment at Golfclub Liquidators.<\/p>\n

Before heading out to the big, name-brand department stores, one might want to check out what is in their own backyard first. Both you and the one you love might be surprised at exactly what could be found under the Christmas tree this year.<\/p>\n
