This week, on the streets of Honolulu Avenue in the Montrose Shopping Park, you will see something you don’t see much anymore. Two of our stores actually closed and covered their windows with paper while transforming  themselves into Christmas Wonderlands.

Victori Ana (2311 Honolulu) is one of these stores. On  Saturday, Nov. 7 at 10  a.m., Victori Ana’s Christmas Open House will begin. Watch for their Christmas window featuring the latest Mark Robert’s collectable fairies. Town secret: Owner Marilyn paper wraps each gift herself and finishes them with special ribbon. You will want one of these under your tree!

Mountain Rose Gifts (2307 Honolulu) is celebrating their 10th Annual Christmas Open House this year with a  private, invitation only party for their loyal customers featuring wine, gourmet appetizers and Christmas music. The public open house will be held Saturday, Nov. 7 at 10 a.m. Customers will be treated to hot apple cider and seasonal cookies while they shop. Mountain Rose specializes in tasteful Christmas décor for your home.
