Special to Long Beach Breeze
The annual two-day Holiday Boutique hosted by the Pass Christian Yacht Club’s Ladies Auxiliary will be back in Long Beach on Friday, November 8, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Saturday, November 9, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., at the West Harrison Civic Center (Espy Center), located at 4670 Espy Avenue in Long Beach. Now in its twenty-eighth year, the boutique will feature artwork, unique gifts, handcrafted and customized pieces, as well as homemade holiday goodies. The ticket price remains the same as in past years: $5.
“What distinguishes our Holiday Boutique is the emphasis we place on providing regional shops and artisans an opportunity to display their merchandise and talent,” said Jo Ann Francingues, boutique chairwoman. “The Holiday Boutique is a comfortable, indoor – rain or shine – shopping experience with free parking. And, with the incredible selection of crafts, art, gifts, food and merchandise we have this year, I predict we will attract even more than the nearly eight hundred shoppers we had in 2023.”
Gifts for sale will include many one-of-a-kind items, such as artisan and vintage jewelry, bags, pottery, wood-turned bowls and other handcrafted items, original artwork, fused glass art, oyster shell art and mosaics, adult and children’s books (many of which are written and signed by regional authors), toys, children’s sensory craft, tumblers, nutritional teas and even gifts for the family pets. To help celebrate the holidays, vendors will also sell distinctive ornaments, holiday blooms and greens, home décor, clothing and goodies for the kitchen, such as flavored oils and vinegars, homemade entrees, sides and baked goods.
