Keep It Local, by Barbara Lawrence – Feb. 21, 2012
The term unique may be overused. Unique does best describe the one of a kind, made locally, items to be found in our local stores in the Catawba River District. I call your attention this week to Sweet Peas Unique Gifts at 127 S Main Street. Jennifer Jordan started creating jewelry, handbags and other accessories with a small space on East Central in Downtown Mount Holly in November 2009. The business has grown to include many beautiful accessories created with gifted hands in the area.
Sweet Peas Unique Gifts now has both a website and a Facebook page. As we share the stories of our local businesses, we create a virtual connection for our communities in the Catawba River District. Share your stories of your unique discoveries.

Billy Rick has made remarkable improvements to the 1927 Summey building without sacrificing the historic characteristics. Looking at before and after shows what a difference the building and the businesses make to our local community.
Rich Haag just took a new picture this week, shown here.

Time Flies Christmas Store is a new addition to this building at 125 S Main Street. The Salon and Spa on Main has a new store front at their location, 123 S Main. There is plenty to see as Mount Holly businesses continue to build their 'unique' set of offerings for locals and visitors alike.
