ALDERSON GREETS NEW BUSINESS
There is excitement building for the opening of Jane’s
Primitives and Gifts on December 2 in the Renaissance Building
on Riverview Avenue in Alderson. (north end of the bridge) The
hours are planned to be Thursday-Saturday from 10-6; Sunday from
1-5; and other hours by chance.
The windows of this very attractive shop hint at the wonderful
items within. They include hand made candles, potpourri,
Christmas ornaments, and even furniture. Co-owners Jane Bennett
and Peggy Elkins are best friends who have been crafting
together for years. Elkins said, “We have been talking about
opening a shop for ages and when this space came available, the
time seemed right.”
One of the most interesting items is a bench made from a door
with patchwork attached to the back of the door and showing
though the panes. The chairs they offer have backs and seats
woven from home spun fabric. They even hand craft artificial
Christmas trees and offer them decorated or undecorated.
They also plan to have a section with ornaments, wreaths, and
other decorative items for a Victorian decorating scheme.
Bennett and Elkins are community minded and are supporting the
Christmas Homes Tour on December 4 from 1-5, sponsored by
Alderson Main Street, by decorating the stair hall of one of the
homes on tour. They are also are planning an open house on
December 3 and 4 to welcome the community and visitors to their
new shop.
Judy Lewallen, President of Alderson Main Street, said, “We are
so pleased to welcome Jane’s Primitives and Gifts to Alderson.
They are in an extremely visible location near the Greenbrier
side of the Alderson Memorial Bridge. Everyone who passes by is
already enjoying their beautiful window displays.”
