CHRISTMAS AT OSEREDOK

Christmas at Oseredok started with a flourish of snowflakes, stars, and lights on Friday December 7th and Saturday, December 8th - our annual Christmas Fair!

Hundreds came through our doors during the Fair...to shop, browse, and to have a little refreshment.
Many found themselves meeting up with old friends, which gave the Fair a truly party-like atmosphere!
And most importantly, all left with that perfect gift, a special ornament, or a bag full of varenyky and vushka!

But it's nor over yet!

Oseredok Boutique welcomes you with a wonderful selection of gift items for someone special on your list - hand crafted jewellery and glassware, hand-painted ceramics and tree ornaments, embroidered hoodies and tshirts, new books and Christmas CDs. PLUS! We've just received a new shipment of leather bags from Kotylasia Torba - messenger bags, backpacks, clutches, and mini bags!
Not to mention special-blend Black Pearl coffee, imported chocolates and teas, Manitoba-made honey and beeswax candles, Christmas cards and gift bags, and that HUGE one-half pound св Миколай gingerbread cookie!

See you tonight!

Open Monday through Saturday 10am to 4pm. Open Friday December 14 and 21 until 9pm.

OF PASTA, PLAST, AND CHRISTMAS FAIR!

ANOTHER FABULOUS SUCCESS!
And this time we brought the camera!

Oseredok is on a roll! With the successes of the Kupalo fundraiser this past July, and the opening of the highly-praised Plast centenary exhibition last month, Oseredok scored a grand slam with a sold-out Dinner at DeLuca's fundraising event on Friday, November 2nd!

In a cheerful and friendly atmosphere guests enjoyed a delicious three-course Italian dinner with fine wine, and the music of accordionist Myron Kurjewicz. And all took their chances at four terrific raffle prizes!

It was the perfect evening to share with old and new friends, a lovely way to start a weekend, and a great way to support Oseredok!
