Aphrodite Summer Hours
Now that summer is officially here we’re starting to welcome back old friends as they fly back with the birds from down south. Our favourite Sunday girl, Claudia Johnson is one of them – and with her arrival Aphrodite commences our SUMMER HOURS. As of this weekend June 29, Aphrodite will be OPEN SUNDAYS FROM 12 – 5. Claudia will be there to take care of you as she settles into her summer career after teaching screenwriting all winter long at Florida State. When you visit ask Claudia about her award winning documentary films and books. This talented bird is also a great sales associate and fashionista!
Claudia’s back!
Another interesting downtown development is the new ANTIGONISH ART FAIR. It takes place every second Friday throughout the summer. It’s happening at Chisholm Park, corner of Main Street and West Street. Come and enjoy music, food and art. Artists will have their works available to purchase. See event details by clicking on the dates below. In conjunction with the fair Aphrodite WILL BE OPEN EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT UNTIL 9 p.m. through to Labour Day weekend. Downtown Antigonish will be hopping this year thanks to the tireless efforts of volunteers and the arts community! See https://www.facebook.com/pages/Antigonish-Art-Fair/216346178564399
The Olde Forge Fashion Outlet inPictou
Aphrodite has set up a more permanent location in Pictou for our sale merchandise from previous seasons. We are opening this Friday, June 27 from 10 am to 6 pm. Most days you’ll be greeted by the lovely Irene Szabla, another fashionista in her own right and fabulous at working with our customers. Don’t miss our Grand Opening on Saturday July 5 from 1 a.m. to 6 p.m. The town of Pictou is happy to have another attraction for visitors and PEI Ferry passengers.
Antigonish Highland Games Street Festival
The Highlan Games are just around the corner! Mark your calendar for Thursday July 10 when downtown Antigonish will host the Street Festival to beat all street festivals. Part of the Main Street will be closed off to make room for the over 100 street merchants, entertainers and activities. More to come as the day draws nearer….
Annie Thompson
This is just a teaser for those of you who have heard about this incredible fashion designer from Toronto. Her collection arrived at Aphrodite late last week and I have to tell you – it’s amazingly cool and beautiful. I have lots more to tell you about Annie but I’ll save that for my next blog post.
WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST SUMMER EVER!
WE DESERVE IT!
