Looking for a terrific last-minute Christmas gift for a daughter or granddaughter, a favorite niece, a hard-to-buy-for sister (or perhaps a wife, gentlemen)? Well run, don’t walk, over to the Shortline Café’s display window and see what the Boutique has to offer smart, discerning Charlestown shoppers. You’ll be so glad you did, and you can get your hands on your choices right away and have them wrapped and under the tree before you know it!
Boutique management has collected a wonderful array of new and like-new designer and high-end handbags and holiday fashions and accessories just in time to help you avoid the Mall and competing too-close-to-Christmas shoppers!
The window is aglow with soft leather, luxurious scarves and wraps, and a small but quite special selection of sparkling tops (and a pair of black sequined pants … all under $20.00!!) that will make the woman wearing them the Belle of any holiday festivity she attends.
Among the most stellar offerings are a new Kate Spade purse fronted up with a stunning embossed floral pattern, a fuchsia sequined Lost City fanny pack
with the store tags still on it, and a wonderful new Ralph Lauren bag. There are new and vintage Coach bags, a Vera Bradley wallet and shoulder bag, and a bag or two from Dooney and Burke. Right up front for all to see are two pairs of size 7 Arizona boots, one black and one brown ($25.00 each), and a knee-high pair of black size 7W flat-heeled boots by St. John’s Bay. What a dream gift for a granddaughter,,, yummy! (And she’ll think you’re so cool.)
Nestled in among these wonderful offerings is a quite lovely collection of soft and silky seasonal wraps in a seasonal ecstasy of colors to accessorize your favorite holiday top and keep you feeling snug.
Shoppers can make arrangements to get their hands on their purchases at the earliest opportunity by calling Peggy Romenesco (bring your phone and call her right from the window, her number is highlighted on the information plaque). If you must leave a message, state the letter and number of your selections and your phone number; Peggy will get back to you as soon as possible and arrange pick-up. (Payment may be made by cash, check or credit card.)
And while you’re admiring the inventory, think about buying yourself a Christmas treat! Your purchase will benefit Charlestown’s Benevolent Care Fund … so it’s a holiday win-win!
