The two front rooms of the historic Canute Petersen house on Ephraims Main Street look like Santas workshop at this time of the year. Fragrant scents of cinnamon, apple, rose and lavender greets shoppers the coming in from the cold.

Perched in a window sill, knisse, the traditional Scandinavian Christmas elf, shares space with porcelain treetop angels dressed in crocheted costumes. A tiny figure commemorating the traditional St. Lucys Day, a wooden doll sports a crown of small candles. Other small porcelain dolls recline in miniature sleighs.

' - high-quali- e' Frances Warwood All the little special touches that make home brighter at Christmas and add to family traditions seem to have been collected in the Parlors two rooms. But Mrs. Nibleys shop doesnt just deal in imports. She is constantly encouraging local artisans to carve, sew, built and paint items for the shop. In fact, the shop which now consumes two rooms of her own home actually started as an outgrowth of the Ephraim Craft Guild, through which she and other Ephraim citizens have endeavored to encourage local people to produce the unique, items so popular with todays like-mind- gift-buyer- s. It just sort of grew out of the guild and the annual bazaar, Mrs. Nibley murmurs, waving a hand to indicate the two rooms now crammed with such a delightful array of items. Actually, 1 think theres everything here that people usually travel to Triad or Trolley Square to find. They really dont need to go out of the area to find these things any more." i on Christmas day Frances Madson Warwood, a longtime resident of Manti, will celebrate her 90th birthday on Christmas Day (1986).
