The jingle bells are ringing, the Hanukkah party guest list is filling up, and you still don\u2019t have a present for the coolest, artsiest person on your shopping list. <\/p>\n
Looking for a kooky snow globe? Bespoke Eagles memorabilia? An art print unlike any other? Don\u2019t worry!

Sweet Mabel got its start in 2005 when Tumolo took over her grandfather\u2019s former barbershop in Narberth. She and Stehman, who were graphic designers, decided to turn the barbershop into a local gallery and store stocked with colorful American and Canadian folk art. <\/p>\n To celebrate the shop\u2019s 20th anniversary, Sweet Mabel is displaying and selling works from local artists, all under $100. An anniversary ceremony will be held on Dec. 5 from 6-9 p.m. at the storefront on Haverford<\/a> Avenue.
