April 2019

Spring has sprung on Lakeshore Avenue! We are coming through a still relatively wet March into a celebratory spring with new products, events, our 32nd annual Easter parade and more!

Events

April 4: Spring Centerpiece Workshop at Bay Made with Rust and Flourish, 7-8:30 pm

Join us for a spring centerpiece arranging workshop! Learn how to make a whimsical flower arrangement using locally grown and in-season blooms. As it is spring, we’ll be using lots of fragrant florals with textural accents. All materials will be provided for you to make your arrangement and take them home. If you have a favorite pair of snippers or would prefer to wear gloves, feel free to bring them. Class includes the knowledge and making of one centerpiece arrangement & a glass vase to put it in! Plan transportation or packaging accordingly 🙂

PS – Everyone that takes our classes receives 10% off in-store merchandise the day of their class.

April 5: Hipline Writing Circle, Hipline, 1-2:30 pm

Writing circle facilitated by Ali Lawrence at Hipline! Bring a pen, paper or a computer and spend 90 minutes writing in the space we all love and dance in! $10 or “All of It” membership covers the cost.
