Getting your hands dirty for the client.

Not that the St. Croix River isn’t a beautiful waterway, but you probably don’t want to wash your carrots in it like Kelly is doing here. But don’t fret – these carrots were props for a Hudson Hospital & Clinics photoshoot. We can confirm that these carrots were scrubbed down before consumption.

Sometimes people bring us candy, sometimes we get clothes....today it's a puppy. Meet Bandit of Urban Olive & Vine, Hudson's newest shop on mainstreet. And although Bandit is impressed with our design skills, he is far more interested in our view of the St.Croix River.

ST.CROIX SOUVENIR COMPANY CELEBRATES 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
. . . . . . . . . . . .
Not many realize that the little souvenir company that has blossomed into a great local shop is owned by Christiansen Creative. The creative firm started the store up based on local need for local travelers and St.Croix River enthusiasts August of 2008 just prior to the first annual Spirit of the St.Croix Days. It has been mentioned that the store would fare better if the designers stopped eating all of the store’s caramel corn – which will never happen because a. sugar fuels ideas and b. its really good caramel corn.
