Congratulatons to Shoppe 561 in WPB

Who is Shoppe 561?


It's a funky little store in West Palm Beach focusing on local artisans.  The following is a excerpt from their website, "Developing and building a sense of community among artisans and customers while leaving a lasting impression on visitors is my vision for Shoppe 561. In a world of mass production, I invite you to step into Shoppe 561 and be inspired by hand-crafted items rarely found in a typical store. Read artisan stories that reveal their passion to create. Artisans of all ages and stages of life throughout Florida will be featured in the shoppe with new items being added continually.


Recently, Palm Beach Illustrated has chosen Shoppe 561 in West Palm Beach as the Best Local Place to Shop.  For more info, click on the link.  http://issuu.com/pbmg/docs/pbi_awards/11?e=1231778/9191671. 




We offer Shoppe 561 our best wishes and encourage you to drop by if you are anywhere near their location at 319 Belvedere Road in West Palm Beach  (Belvedere Road and Dixie Hwy).
