LAST CHANCE: Nature's Emporium Closing

The longtime Fair Haven clothing and novelty store will close its doors on Saturday!

If you've been to Nature's Emporium and loved it for the 30 years it's been in business in Fair Haven, now's your last chance to visit and get in on some good closing deals. Not only that, but owner Priscilla Bahr would love the chance to say so long to longtime customers and colleagues. Bahr's store has been a staple for the most eclectic shoppers in town and from all around the area for a very long time now. She's sold everything from yodeling pickles and fire breathing wind-up nuns to cards, candy, candles and quality clothing and jewelry.

It's the same for generations of lifetime, loyal customers, too. Word got out that the place people from miles …

I have so many great memories sharing that space with Perk, and Aimee Humphries (Aimee's Sewing Circle), Audrey Jaffee's Kites, and of course, Lee Yarnell's hand crafted leather and jewelry; and Myra and Ike's antique store which was upstairs then. You will leave a huge void when you close your doors, Perk. It will certainly be the end of yet another era. But I know you will have fun and great …   more ›

What's Cookin'? Breakfast and a Pickle

Nature's Emporium is cooking up unique calorie-free breakfast with a pickle on the side and more ...

If you’re having a hankering for some calorie-free breakfast with a melodiously tasty pickle on the side, you need to follow your shopping nose to Nature’s Emporium in Fair Haven. There the guilt-free goodies are all cooked up, boxed and ready to be brought home. Yes, Priscilla Bahr, Nature’s owner, has the goods. She guarantees that she can serve up some coffee with waffles and bacon with no caloric price to pay. How? All you have to do is open a small plastic container and take a … flossing. That’s right, a flossing, as in dental floss. Bahr has some strange items in her unique boutique that has been in Fair Haven’s business district since the birth of … well, disco balls in the 1970s.   And the floss is just one of the odd items she now…
