Conscious local shopping for the holidays
Find the perfect gift for that special someone at Annette’s Emporium in League City. This delightful shop is filled with of colorful eye candy thanks to
one-of-a-kind handcrafted items from over 400 American artists and craftsmen. Not only will your purchase say Buy American, you will also be supporting the arts and in many cases, the environment. That’s because many of the unique items here are made from re-purposed materials.
Your favorite musician might like jewelry made from guitar picks. A stylish teen would love the small bags or cell phone carriers made from men’s ties. No “man cave” would be complete without attention-getting sculpture crafted from auto parts, or sassy signage reincarnated from barn doors or metal roofs blown off in hurricanes Katrina and Ike.
The creativity is endless! Choose from home décor, pottery, kitchenware, inspirational, holiday, whimsical, garden, bath and body, books, gourmet foods, and much more.
To top it off, Annette will assist you with choosing your unique gift. She can tell you about the artist and the history of each individual item, adding to its specialness.
Annette has been in the retail business since age 16. She brings lots of experience to the Bay Area after running The Emporium in Fayetteville for a number of years. “That shop was in a house built in the 1800s,” Annette explains. “So I am thrilled to be located now in the Historical District of League City.”
You will be thrilled too when you visit Annette’s Emporium. If you can, allow yourself plenty of time to see everything and to learn interesting facts about how and why the items were created.
If you are a local artisan interested in selling your wares, Annette asks that you wait to see her until January when she will be looking for more local artists to replace inventory. Meanwhile the selections at Annette’s Emporium are marvelous—and just in time for the holidays.
