D

ecember 2 was a special day for 
ladies of the Emerald Coast. 
This was the day that Wren’s 
Village Boutique, The Dressing 

Room Boutique, Sirens by the Sea, Affi nity 
Boutique and local favorite restaurant Bijoux 
opened their doors for a special holiday and 
shopping event. 

Each boutique displayed their fi nest 

holiday décor and fashions for the event 
attendees. Ladies nibbled delectable treats, 
provided by Bijoux, in each store while 
socializing and shopping. A “good looking” 
Santa was on hand in each store to help 
shoppers carry packages to their cars, and 
shoppers received a discount on purchases if 

they posed for selfi es with Santa.  

Shoppers gathered a jingle bell from each 

merchant and wore them on a bracelet 
to be eligible for door prizes given at 
the culmination of the event. Attendees 
commented that this event was a fun way to 
usher in the holiday season.
