“As you wander through our charming shop, let the magic unfold – each corner is filled with delightful treasures, perfect for spreading holiday joy,” they add. “Our displays will inspire you to create your own magical holiday moments at home.”

There are other benefits besides an inspirational sneak preview and head start to holiday shopping. Patrons will receive a 15% discount storewide. Light refreshments will be served.

“We will also be accepting purse and toiletry donations on behalf of Julie’s Purse Project, an amazing organization that works to provide high quality purses stocked with life changing essentials for survivors of trauma and hardship,” say the hosts. “Look for the pink barrel during the event where you can drop your donations and help someone in need this holiday season!”
