Strawberry Street Getting Yet Another New Business

CAPE CHARLES WAVE

May 13, 2013

As the month of June approaches, Strawberry Street is “busting out all over.”

It started a year earlier at 16 Strawberry Street, where Drizzles Tasting Shop, a boutique oil shop, injected new life in the “off-Mason” area previously devoid of shops other than a side entrance to Stage Door Gallery.

Then Moonrise Jewelry opened at 22 Strawberry Street with custom designs, quickly followed by expansion into a second storefront.

Now, Suzanne Golibart is opening a “unique consignment boutique” named Periwinkles at 12 Strawberry Street.

Periwinkles will offer “upscale women’s clothing, accessories, and home decor in an eclectic boutique environment,” Golibart says.

The official opening is Thursday, May 16, but Periwinkles is accepting consignment accounts and merchandise now.

Golibart is urging Shore residents to “jump start your spring cleaning” by bringing things to the shop to become a consignor.

“Things are really hopping over here on Strawberry Street,” Golibart reports. She has heard that another empty Strawberry Street storefront will soon be occupied as well.

In a break with tradition for Mason Avenue-area shops, Golibart hopes to keep Periwinkles open 7 days a week during the summer season. Stage Door Gallery,  Kelly’s Gingernut Pub, and Impact Fitness are the only other downtown businesses open every day.

Periwinkles’ phone number is 757-678-2481. “Call for an appointment, or just drop in,” Golibart urges. “We have over 500 items on display in the shop already and are preparing for the shopping to begin on May 16.”
