ReVibe! Gala March 8

Join Jenny Cressman in Huntsville, at her gala opening Mar. 8 at noon for her latest adventure - opening a retail store called reVIBE! at 77 Centre St. N. You won’t be disappointed.

It features "Reclaimed clothing and eco-eclectics," a broad subtitle intended to indicate the ecologically "green" nature of the business mandate.

Besides reclaimed clothing, reVIBE! offers other reused or re-purposed items, particularly antique furniture and art made with recycled materials.

Antique dressers, wardrobes and tables will be used for displaying clothing, and will be for sale on consignment supplied mainly by Peter E. Baker Antiques. He has appeared on various Antiques Roadshow programs.

Local artists are also being invited to submit work on consignment, as long as it, at least in part, is made from recycled materials. Jennifer Pimentel's work is available. She makes beautiful necklaces using reclaimed exotic woods, such as Brazilian cherry.

The dynamic reVIBE! logo demonstrates Pimentel’s talent.

Offering a different assortment of used clothing is the primary reason for establishment of this store. The reVIBE! team is committed to sourcing out interesting clothing in a variety of sizes and styles, which can be offered at affordable prices. To do this, we will be dealing mainly with out-of-town used clothing wholesale operations.

Any clothing brought in that cannot be sold at reVIBE!, for whatever reason, will be given back to the customer or passed on to a charitable organization.

The reVIBE! staff team is comprised mainly of women, in keeping with Cressman's overriding vision for this venture.

Cressman will be maintaining her part-time position with the Muskoka Women’s Advocacy Group, based at Chrysalis.

Lorraine Nelson is the full-time retail manager. Other key members include Jen Dix and Penny Patterson.

A gala grand opening celebration takes place on March 8, International Women’s Day at noon.

Linda McLean will be performing and Soul Sistas will be providing delicious snacks.
