More About Filis and Sun Wind and Rain
What started out as Spaniola’s grocery store in 1916 is now Sun Wind & Rain, an inviting boutique featuring unique gifts for the home and person. Jewelry Designer and proprietor Filis Slater is committing to retail in downtown Muskegon with the opening of her store, a new ‘life style’ boutique at 477 W. Western Avenue. Filis is a Muskegon native who spent most of her adult life between the mountains of Colorado and the high deserts of Arizona. While living in these two dramatic and contrasting environments, she grew to love and appreciate all the vivid and subtle colors found in the plant and wild life that surrounded her.
Wanting to incorporate this awareness of nature’s hues and forces, she began designing for the office and home, using color and light to insure those who entered a feeling of goodness and warmth…a sense of being welcomed and at home. Filis has brought this talent to her new ‘life style boutique’. She knows how to create a special sense of invitation and beckoning, understanding that this is ‘home’ during the day for her and all who visit her store. Filis has moved back home and brought new life to one of Muskegon’s historical sites on Western Avenue.
She welcomes your visit!
