        CLASSMATES ON THE MOVE 

Last weekend, I stopped by Jacci Stahl Krebsbach's The Chickadee Boutique, in Shoreview, for a complete "Chickadee Experience."  (As The Chickadee Facebook rightfully asserts, "You don't go to the Chickadee, you experience the Chickadee!") Jacci and Mike bought this little "Hansel and Gretel" House for $6000 and lived in it for 6 years, pre-kids; it was built in the early 1940's by a Swedish immigrant stone mason, making it just a few years older than us! After building their house on the same lot, Jacci eventually turned it into a seasonal boutique, where her crafting friends could display their creative talents.

The Chickadee Boutique is a complete sensory experience.... where the antique woodburning stove smells waft and blend perfectly with the potpouri throughout this little "Hansel & Gretel" House... There are taste treat samples of sweets, chutneys, soups and, sometimes, even wine tasting.  Run your hands over the soft gorgeous alpaca sweaters and shawls.  Seasonal music plays softly...

.....and, then, there's the arts and crafts! Over 165 artists are represented! Each wall is a gallery showcase; Jacci's "easel"  brings out the pieces of art with brush strokes of colors, that highlight the art and transform, rather than simply decorate, each room.  (Jacci claims not to be a "crafter"  but her arrangements and retail marketing elevate her to "master craftsman"!) And let's not forget the yard art and art tents outside the house! 

This is The Chickadee Boutique's 39th year...I know many classmates have been loyal customers throughout the years!  If you haven't had the opportunity, stop in for this season's last two weekends.  If you miss out, the Chickadee Boutique will be open again next spring on April 4th!
