Lately, many have been wishing time would just slow down for a few seconds, minutes or even a few days. But time keeps on ticking and the holidays are right around the corner, literally and figuratively. If your holiday shopping is not complete, do not worry, do not fear, Antonia Arts and the Copperhead Club last minute Holidays Boutiques are here.

On Saturday and Sunday, December 21st and 22nd, from 1:00 – 6:00 p.m., Antonia Arts opens their event space for the Just In Time Holiday Boutique. At this pop-up shop, located in the Artist Spot at Antonia Arts, a variety of vendors will be offering handmade jewelry, holiday wreaths, fashionable clothing, nutcrackers, handmade ornaments, books, soaps, candles, apothecary, original art and so much more for sale. Not only will there be amazing local artists and handmade goods, but between 2 and 5 p.m., Santa Claus will be there to take pictures with. And of course, there will be holiday music and sing-alongs with Santa who makes everything jolly and bright.
The Just in Time Holiday Boutique at Antonia Arts will take place at 925 South Street in downtown Peekskill.
Last Minute Pop-Up Shop at the Copperhead Club
On Sunday, December 22 from 3 to 6 p.m., make sure to stop by the Copperhead Club, for a one-of-a-kind Last Minute Pop-Up Shop.

The Copperhead Club is located at the very bottom of Main Street on the corner of N. Water Street and Main Street. If driving down Main Street towards the Route 9 Exit and Entrance ramps, keep following Main Street until the street comes to an end. You know you have made it when you see the large 20 foot Holiday skeleton on the roof sporting a Santa hat and holding a large string of garland.
