A Crimson Holiday!!

Hello
The Holidays are approaching and your chance to give unique gifts.  The store is also a chance to try some of my skin care products.  Of course not everything I make is in the store but there is an excellent selection-with testers!!!
Hope to see you there!!!  Ali O.

Crimson Holiday opens in La Cumbre Plaza, offering Local Art!
Visit us in La Cumbre PlazaThe Holidays are just around the corner, and Marilyn Dannehower of MAD Dreams Jewelry Design and Bridal Crystal Direct has taken it upon herself to re-open  the local artist gallery ‘Crimson Holiday’ in La Cumbre Plaza, Santa Barbara.
Setting up shop in the old ‘Coach’ location across from Louis Vuitton in a prime retail zone is really a blessing.  With things like shelving and lighting left behind by it’s former occupants, it’s made moving in a relative breeze.
Marilyn has assembled a unique group of local Santa Barbara Artists and Designers under the umbrella of ‘Crimson Holiday’ to provide just what La Cumbre Mall needs… a little grass-roots flavor!
Crimson Holiday opened its doors on November 1st and will remain open through the end of the year. The store features the work of 23 area artists, including 8 primary artists.
