The Third Annual Cherokee Print League Holiday Sale promises art, gifts and fun on Saturday, December 4, from 10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.  (See sights from last year's sale here.)

Says The Firecracker Press:

On December 4th from 10 am to 7 pm over 40 artists will be setting up at over a dozen locations, ready to fill your holiday shopping needs with their lovely printed wares. Enjoy the local color of Cherokee Street as you mosey from Louisiana to Indiana and all state streets in between. Firecracker Press will be open all day, and we have some new items just in time for the holidays! Make sure to drop in, and visit the Cherokee Print League website to check out all the artists and venues. You can pick up a map the day of the sale at any of the venues. See you then!

Here at the St. Louis Curio Shoppe, 2301 Cherokee Street, we are baking up a fresh batch, or many, many batches, of Mr. B's gooey butter cookies! A St. Louis tradition!

Where to find all things St. Louis on Cherokee Street

Have you been to St. Louis Curio Shoppe yet?  Don't make the same mistake I did by taking my sweet time in getting over there.  The doors have been open to the public for several weeks, although the official grand-opening event isn't until Saturday, October 9, 2010.   

Run by pals Kristin and Kristin, the store carries a wide variety of St. Louis-made and -related goods, but this is anything other than a typical souvenir store.  From locally made peanut butter to replica Coral Courts keychains there's something for everyone.

St. Louis Curio Shoppe is supportive of arts and crafts and has adorable offbeat potholders and beautifully made cutting boards and earrings and books on all things St. Louis.  There are greeting cards and coasters and t-shirts.  All made locally -- several by people and businesses along Cherokee.  (full disclosure:  I have several photos for sale there but this has nothing to do with why I'm encouraging you to head to the store.)

By the way, are you a local musician?  If you've got a CD you'd like to bring by, Kristin and Kristin would be happy to give you a listen.  They're actively seeking to carry local music.  Why not see if yours would be a good fit for the store?

I wish I'd stopped in sooner but I'm glad I've stopped in now.  So many birthday and Christmas presents are going to come from this place!

St. Louis Curio Shoppe is just a fantastic idea.  Great work, Kristins!
