Just take a look at these glorious, giant pine trees that line the Montrose Shopping Park! Up, up, up they go saying this is a special and safe place to SHOP, relax, and get away from it all. Breathe in the fresh, pine scented air. Here are a few things you may discover. Be assured there are many more. Like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.


Treat yourself to St. Paddy's nail art at MONTROSE NAILS! C'mon you've got to try it and then show those nails off to all your friends!


While you are waiting for your nails to dry, indulge in a Matcha Milk Tea at BOBA LOCA FRESH TEA & JUICE. 
Tasty, healthy green goodness!


Now it's time for the hunt! Our favorite pleasure!
 REAL SHOPPING! 
Right across the street from Boba Loca you'll find the new location for TWIGS & THINGS. Your garden will look so festive with one of these custom wood shamrock signs.


Pop in next door to MOUNTAIN ROSE GIFTS, recently voted "Finest Gift Store", and known for their seasonal collectibles. Imagine this couple adorning your mantle!

Now you're ready for round two of SHOPPING fun! You MUST visit our newest gift shop HOLIDAY HOUSE FLORAL AND DECOR! They love the seasons there and have some adorable St. Paddy's offerings.


Now who doesn't have kids or grandkids that would love a St. Patrick's Day GREEN outfit! This one for the little dapper dudes and more for the little lasses all at IT TAKES A VILLAGE KIDS.
Did you know their signature gift wrap is GREEN!!!


In Montrose there's so much to explore that you can shop all day. The fresh green cilantro is spilling out of this "gotta have it" taco from the one and only PEPE'S MONTROSE. A great choice for dinner along with a green margarita!

Are you seeing green too? Montrose is calling. Take a break. Get into the spirit of the season. Don't wait.
