A funny thing happens to people while shopping in our booth, customers initially come to purchase Christmas presents for others and end up buying something for themselves instead! Over and over again we’ve watched this happen. This occurs more frequently when the shopper is accompanied by family or friends, because for some reason they encourage this behavior. Or, one person will be shopping alone and falls in love with a piece of art, the next day they return with a spouse or friend and together they make the decision to purchase. The fun of doing these shows is watching people fall in love with art and become owners. This happened all day during the Christmas Village show at the Dena’ina Center last weekend. Today there are many new owners of Niebrugge prints and giclee’s, and at Christmas there will be even more!
