InBox | 04/05/12Alapash: Meaningful Terrariums (and Home)
Doesn’t everything look better under glass? Marco Chavarry of Alapash, who has been selling terrariums at other stores around town, thinks so. He has just opened Alapash: Meaningful Terrariums (and Home) (1944 W. Montrose Ave., Ravenswood, 773-769-8825). The store offers flourishing miniature terrariums, but also sells tabletop and custom terrariums. Find a line of signature candles, as well as potted plants, nature-inspired décor, books, and objet d'art and posters. Come May, Alapash will offer terrarium classes and design consultations and will host several trunk shows throughout the summer. Store hours are Tuesday-Friday from 11 a.m.-7 pm., Saturday from 10 a.m.-6 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m.,-4 p.m. —KRISTEN WEGRZYN Posted at 8:00 AM in InBox | Back to all posts |

I stumbled upon this store last week and immediately fell in love. I want to move into it! Not only is Marco extremely talented, he's knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I was lucky enough to score a home consultation with him earlier this week and can't wait to bring his customized creations into my home. I highly recommend it.
The store is warm and inviting, and full of deliciously handcrafted, natural, sustainable and recycled delights for your home! Marco is wonderfully creative and extremely helpful. He can make or have made any of the pieces to your specifications and welcomes special orders. HIs creations and those of other artists he features also make unique and unexpected gifts! Definitely a must visit! GG
