Holiday Gallery and Gifts Pop-Up Shop

Holiday Gallery and Gifts Pop-Up Shop stocked with great stuff from local artists, crafters, photographers and the Dundalk Patapsco-Neck Historical Society.

In Dundalk Village Shopping Center, as you enter Shipping Place from Dunmanway or S. Center Pl., and look at the store fronts, the second retail space you see is not what the sign above it says - it is not a Tobacco & Wireless store anymore - it's The Holiday Gallery and Gifts Pop-Up Shop. A shop that is set up for the holiday shopping season, and stocked with great stuff from local artists, crafters, photographers and the Dundalk Patapsco-Neck Historical Society. But! What the hay!? It's the kind of shop I wish would stay.

In the shop, you can purchase photos that could look well in your home, on a wall in your place of business, above the workbench in your shop, maybe above the door of your cabin in the country or house down by the shore, or in lots of other spots, for sure. There's sweet treats for to eat, nibble on slow and serenely, really too good to gobble down fast. You can buy comfortable, colorful, nice looking clothing. And there's homemade clothing for dolls. The attractive, handmade jewelry for sale has been created and presented in a wide enough variety to please peoples with just a few dollars to spend or a couple of hundred to splurge. There's even small batch made soap that is smooth to the skin and soothing to the olfactory senses. There's probably stuff you need, some ya' might want and something good for gift giving.

The pop up shop is being so effectively promoted that I saw a piece about it in Baltimore Sun online repeated in the Los Angeles Times online.

It's what we - me, maybe you, and definitely a bunch of other folks - know is the kind of shop that can help Dundalk Village thrive and attract people from near and far. The pop-up shop will open 5 days a week from October 11th to December 24th. The planned hours for now are Wednesday-Friday 11am-8pm, Saturday from 10 am – 6pm, and Sunday 11pm-5pm. It will be closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

I'm not going to tell you any of the details of the low fees paid by those who's work is for sale. It's a fair deal, and whether there's space for more items - possibly your craftwork-artwork-proud creations to be displayed, I don't know. To find all the details of the shop, here's where you look:
