With an emphasis on buying local this year, shoppers have a great opportunity to find local treasures at The Empty Space s Holiday Boutique, which continues this weekend.Â
Kristina Saldaña, the theater s financial director, said the community response for the shop set up inside the theater has been good since opening last weekend. We had great support from our regulars the first weekend!, she wrote in an email. Items are going quickly as I think people are making a point to shop small this holiday season more than others. Not a ton of foot traffic, but the handful of shoppers we have had were very, very generous.
