The opening is right around the corner!




Mormor first opened its doors last year on September 17th, 2011.  The response was amazing.  The shop was tiny; tinier than tiny really.  Margaret and Ellen made handbags while customers shopped on the "other side of the pallet wall" (those of you who saw the little shop know what we mean). Carrie,the designer behind the bags at Margaret and Ellen, ran up and down the stairs almost 60 times the night of Moonlight Magic to welcome guests and make many, many sales.

We're not sure people understand the gravity of how AMAZING this space is to us, and not only that, but how incredibly fortunate we are, and feel, to have it.   It would be easy to say that the best thing about the new space is the location, which, don't get us wrong, it is.  But the incredible, positive energy within the space can easily be attributed to the people who own the building.  Their support and encouragement of us opening the new shop has given us the "umph" to push through to the end. Thank you, to you both. 

We are so thrilled to be offering 22+ local artists, many of which are from the surrounding area.  The work we have on display and for sale is unique, quirky, fun and intriguing.  We hope that you find the new Mormor as inviting and cozy as our tiny, little "up the stairs and to the right" shop that we opened back in September.  Thanks for watching us grow. It has been a wonderful and crazy ride!

Now, without further adieu, please... Join us on April 7th from 11-8. We are located at 3 Bridge Street in Shelburne Falls MA, the access is from Deerfield Ave. On you way down to the Glacial Potholes, look to your right and you'll see us! Meet the artists, see the new shop, get a tour of Margaret and Ellen's studio and do some SHOPPING! There will be food, drink, music and hopefully a lot of sunny weather to enjoy.

See you soon!

A little update...

Mormor will be closed until April 7th 2012 because *drum roll, please!* We are moving!

A lot of you already knew that... but we have made the decision to close the current little shop to TOTALLY focus on the new space. We didn't realize when we started this move that the space was going to looks SO AMAZING, we are dedicated to having everything perfect for the Grand Reopening on April 7th! See you then?!?!

Rumor has it...




There has been a rumor around town that a big motion picture is going to be shot in our very own Shelburne Falls! The word on the street is that the film is a time period piece starring Kate Winslet. If this turns out to be true, it is big, big news! Our little shop couldn't have picked a better time to be opening. If we thought the tourists were plentiful during the summer, just think of what a Paramount Film could bring! Cross your fingers that this rumor is true, and we will do our best to keep you posted.
