If you live in the Des Moines area, you have to hit up the East Village Holiday Promenade this Friday, November 18th. Fireworks, ice skating, free horse and carriage rides, treats and refreshments and all kinds of good things from the area businesses. My pal Chrissy at Domestica will be having cupcake tastings from A Cakes, plus other treats and spiked cider. Sign up to win one of two $40 gift vouchers. And check out her store full of fantastic gift ideas ... she seriously has the best stuff.
Subsect Skateshop, our one and only favorite local skate shop, will be hosting the Tony Alva. This is so exciting ... we can't even believe it. Plus they'll have Vans reps on hand, discounts on Vans and free bbq. We'll definitely be hanging there. I can't wait.
So many of my favorite shops in town will be all decked out. Ephemera. RAYGUN. Eden. The Village Bean. Ichi Bike. Projects. Be sure to check them all out. (And duh, fireworks! In the winter? That's just fun.)
Next Friday, November 25th, skip the malls and come out to visit us at Market Day Black Friday! It's the biggest and best show of the year.
I'm knitting a crazy amount of super cozy accessories to bring along – my best colors and biggest selection that I'll have all season. Cowls start at only $25 and make great gifts. Don't miss Market Day Black Friday – I hope to see you there!
