Do you spend hours a week looking at Pinterest and wishing you made the DIY projects you were pinning?  Well!  Join us for our first class of a three part series honoring our partner, the Rebuilding Exchange - Cocktails and Crafts!  In this month’s class Jodi our Wine Buyer is going to sample a variety of Rose wines and explain the elegance this wine can bring to your table (aka: You can still drink Rose and be a bada$$).  The craft of the evening will be a beginner’s make-it-take-it project involving nails and string.  We’ll print your favorite shape; nail it to a piece of reclaimed wood and zigzag string to outline the shape. When you bring your newly made project home not only will you feel a sense of accomplishment but it’s also sure to be the color pop your apartment was missing.

Please sign up today at our Customer Service Desk, class size is limited.
