Last April the craft shop moved from the Plaza to its present location on Siskiyou boulevard south of Southern Oregon college campus, re taining its name of Holiday Haus but adding several new features, among them after noon tea before a pot-bellied stove. In a Scandinavian atmos phere the visitor is invited to enjoy a cup of rare tea or coffee with Danish cookies. This hospitality is free wheth er the visitor is a buyer or just a looker. Mrs. Johnson explains that it is her Scan dinavian ancestry that prompted the unusual feature, although she has lived most of her entire life in Ashland. Large windows let in sun shine on the well-placed ar ticles which range from lovely nanamade jewelry to paint ings, ceramics and leathers. Unusual are many of the na tive woods and minerals found on the display shelves. "I resent the importation of cheap foreign products," says Mrs. Johnson, "and am determined to restrict every- ming in Holiday Haus to qual ity standards. I am especially crusading for truly local prod ucts of this valley." Already there are mo r e than 50 contributors of hand crafts. They are of all ages and some are physically han dicapped. The only restriction is that each item submitted must be original and of high quality. Everything is sold on a consignment basis and there are no fees or dues. The young business woman is enthusiastic over the pro motion of home products as a means of providing local artisans an outlet for their talents. She also hopes to de velop a demand for Oregon made gifts and a greater ap preciation by the buying pub lic. Summer tourists express ed delight in the unique gifts they found in Holiday Haus and some have written back for additional articles. In this interesting venture Mrs. Bissell has the whole hearted support and assistance of her husband, Del, as well as the unsolicited advice of their small daughter and son, Delanne, four, and Douglas, just turned three.
