Out of Our Hands Gallery - fine handcrafted creations

Hello all,

Just wanted to post some pics of the newest Shop Local, Shop Emmaus poster series…and who are those two gorgeous ladies? (more…)

The latest edition of Lehigh Valley Style, a gorgeous and always beautifully designed magazine, has given props to our little town of Emmaus. Though there have been numerous blurbs in the past mentioning us in the past (usually highlighting a specialty shop in town), this time we’ve got a FULL ARTICLE! My heart swells with pride like a proud parent. Give it a quick read, go ahead (starts on page 45 on the Ezine)!

Though written to be informational and to comment on the town as a whole, I wish they would have gone into all the wonderful businesses we have to offer. People JUST. DON’T. KNOW. It boggles my mind when a customer comes in and says, “I’ve lived in Emmaus for X-amount of years, and never stepped foot in any of the shops.” Sometimes they live a block away! It makes me cry at night. Okay, that’s a little dramatic.

But still…residents of the Valley often go to Bethlehem for the specialty shops they love to browse and purchase in, when really what they are looking for may be right in their backyard (literally). Even if a store doesn’t carry the things you need and just gotta have at that very moment, please do yourself a favor and just go to look. Meet the owners and sales associates. You probably know them. Or if you don’t actually know them, you’ll leave the store feeling like you just chatted with a friend. We’re very welcoming here in this little charming town.

Thank you, Lehigh Valley Style, for giving us that shout-out. We really appreciate your kind words encouraging readers to check it out!

And please keep ALL of our businesses in mind when you’re gearing up for the holidays. I promise you’ll enjoy discovering what we have to offer.
