From gifts and paper goods to frames and linens, we’ll help you find what you need.
This year marks the 45th anniversary for Christine’s on Canterbury. Just like every year before, the quaint little boutique in Mountain Brook Village bursts into life with wild spring colors, as well as soft pastels.
Of course it’s always filled to the brim with beautiful things, though. Whether you are looking for a unique gift card or bed linens, Christine’s on Canterbury will have something for you.
When Jean opened Christine’s, she was teaching school. Her cousin and mother were actively involved in running the day-to-day business. “We knew nothing about retail! It was a crash course on so many levels.“
Clayton’s shop reflects her passion for retail and the public. Christine’s on Canterbury carries a broad selection of products such as gifts, paper products, fragrances, frames and linens. The shop has introduced things no one in the state had at the time such as hand-painted Russian boxes, Godiva chocolates, and its most successful line ever, MacKenzie-Childs.
“Every customer who walks through the door is important to me,” Clayton said. “Whether they buy one greeting card or $15,000 of furniture, they should be treated equally.” Clayton’s favorite part about her shop is the people. She loves all of the stories the public brings.
“The minute I open the door every day is like the beginning of a new chapter,” she said. Some of Clayton’s involvement includes serving as president of the Merchant’s Association for two years and promoting events in Mountain Brook Village for more than 30 years. Clayton has also received the Small Business award from the Women’s Committee of 100 and Retailer of the Year Gold Award from the Alabama Retail Association.
