We first told you almost two weeks ago about a gift shop planned for part of the ex-On Safari Foods storefront along 35th SW south of SW Henderson. We subsequently invited its owner to tell us more about her new business, and we’ve received her reply – with not only grand-opening plans for May 1st, but also some other special events coming up:
Hi! I’m Gail Hebert, sole proprietor of the new gift shop at 9003 35th Avenue SW, across from the Southwest Branch of the Library.
Name: Hebert’s Den (My last name is pronounced A-Bear) with the catch phrase, “A Thrifty Gift Shop.”
I’ll be selling handmade items (decorator felt pillows, cup pincushions, scarves, potholders) and gew-gaws.
There will be a Rummage Table, so that everyone can leave with something.
There will be a seating area where people can enjoy a cup o’ tea.
There will be a weekly featured clothing ensemble in small, medium and large.
I will sell other people’s stuff from clothes to furniture to knick-knacks, i.e., consignment.
I will sell art.
Grand Opening is Sunday, May 1, from 1:00-5:00 pm. Regular Business Hours will be Wednesday-Saturday 11:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Tuesday evenings from 6:00-9:00 pm will be Salon Nite, (except for the first Tuesday, May 3) will be either music with Gail & Friends, a needlecraft circle, or a discussion (examples: New York City: Love it or Hate It?, tell a story based on themes picked out of a hat, Your Favorite Baseball Team).
Two Sundays a month from 1:00-5:00 pm will be special events.
May 1: Grand Opening
May 22: A Birthday Party for Gail
June 12: Hawaiian King Kamehameha Day
June 26: The Big Dance – Swing It!
The building’s owner had told WSB that the space would be split into thirds; as reported here Wednesday, a remodeling company is moving into one of the other two. (On Safari moved to SODO.)
