Thanksgiving is almost upon us, can you believe it? Time to take a day off and contemplate all the things you're grateful for, and enjoy a festive meal with your loved ones. We sincerely wish all of you the best, and thank you for allowing us into your lives for a little while each week!
We'd also like to take a moment and urge you to Shop Small this Saturday, November 24. It's Small Business Saturday, the day we celebrate our small, locally owned businesses. Most retailers will have special buys and lots of fun planned, and we're no exception! The store is dressed for the holidays and we're all feeling especially merry - if you're in our area, we hope to see you on Saturday!
Although the holiday season is like a force of nature, we'd like to let you know about The Los Angeles County Arboretum And Botanic Garden's show Forces Of Nature, starting on November 30. Our friend, artist Leigh Adams has curated this spectacular show, where wood from the Arboretum's trees damaged in last year's terrible wind storm, is used as an art medium. There will be all sorts of fascinating art made from these different trees, and many artists contributing to this show are Altadenans! Leigh was so excited tell me all about it, and we all think that having beautiful art coming from such a devastating storm is cathartic and healing. Don't miss this chance to see it - it runs through December 2.
Our Holiday Open House is scheduled for Saturday, December 1, and we've got a full roster of fun for you then! From fabulous food to fabulous artists, the day will be chock full of surprises, but you won't want to miss our interactive Eccentric Poets event, featuring our good friend Aldonia Bailey, followed by a book signing and reading by Margaret Finnegan. Look for our email about the event to come later this week.
Have a wonderful week, a happy Thanksgiving, friends! We'll be taking a short blogging holiday next week, so we'll talk again in two weeks....
Lori and Scott
