Happy Halloween!

We here at Village Gift Shoppe want to wish you all a very Happy & Safe Halloween!

When witches go riding,
and black cats are seen,
the moon laughs and whispers,
‘tis near Halloween.

New Makeover at VGS!

Well, we are coming up on our 10 year anniversary here at Village Gift Shoppe and wanted to do a major makeover here at the shoppe. So we asked one of our neighbors that live in the apartment over the shoppe to help us rearrange and decorate the inside to celebrate the special occasion.

Here are some pics of all the redecorating that Ian did for us. He's very handy with the power tools and not afraid to do and create! We want to thank him for all that he did those 2 full days in here!

We used all the old doors, shutters, windows and all the things that we had stored out back for years and only used when we did shows.




























We hope you enjoyed looking at all the pictures and that you stop by to see us during our Christmas Open House/10 Year Anniversary on Saturday November 7th from 10-6 and Sunday Nov. 8th from 12-5pm!

You can sign up for free door prizes and enjoy some coffee, cookies and punch. We'll also be giving away a $50 gift certificate to celebrate our 10 years!

Come Visit Us..............

This weekend at Dover High School's Band Booster's Craft Show! We hope you will stop by our booth to see the wide variety of crafts that we have to offer. Our booth will contain lots of Halloween and fall handcrafted items made by our consignment artists. We have everything from hand poured candles to furniture pieces made from old doors and windows. Our popular hand stitched samplers are always a hit! We have tons of primitive items such as dolls, hand stitched felt cats, pumpkins, witches boots & hats. Hand cut-out wood items are always popular to decorate both the inside and outside of your home this holiday season. Make sure you check out our wide variety of Ohio State items too!

Location : Dover High School......Dover, OH

Time: Saturday October 10 9am-5pm
Sunday October 11th 11am-4pm

We'll be in the hallway across from the cafeteria. Hope to see you there! I'll be posting pics here after the show!

Also....make sure you stop by to see the latest OOAK Enchanted Production Doll by Joyce Stahl that will be going on eBay this coming Sunday. Joyce is featured in today's edition of The Times Reporter Newspaper.

Watch for Joycee in the Times Reporter Newspaper!

Joycee and the whole ADQ gang of dolls (plus some new ones) and the James Short doll came down to the shoppe for a photo shoot last Friday. Our local newspaper is going to do a featured article on her and it should be making the paper sometime this coming week......hopefully tomorrow or Monday!


SO.....we set up the photo shoot on our upstairs neighbors porch since the lighting is so much better outside the shoppe. Above and below are the pics Joycee and her Enchanted Production doll creations, 4 of which appeared in the current fall issue of Art Doll Quarterly magazine.


And here is a picture of Joyce with her very special doll that she made as a gift for her cousin and her husband after they lost their only son James in a recent motorcycle/car accident the end of August. This is the James Short doll that was made in his likeness, complete with tatoos and his rollerblades. James was a professional skater and musician and he was only 24 years old but he really lived life to the fullest in his short time here on earth.



May he Rest in Peace...........
