What To Do This Weekend
Hallelujah! Take off your wool socks and turn on the kettle—Spring has sprung and mother nature is just begging you to show your gams. Plenty of crafty things to get you out and roaming the city this weekend…enjoy!
Starting today and lasting all weekend is the Sugarloaf Craft Festival out in Oaks, PA. (The trek is really only a half hour on 76). Over 300 artists making everything from hair swizzle sticks to light switch covers, plus plenty of demonstrations to keep you occupied. Because watching someone spin a pottery wheel will always be interesting. Check out the show venue and artist list here.
Also tonight is the opening of Trick Go’s newest show, Paper Blog, feauturing works from artist Bradford Haubrich. From 6-10pm, roam the store that’s raffling Keds and offering free drinks while you browse Haubrich’s custom t-shirts.
Grasshopper is also hosting their Spring Fever sale on Saturday. As mentioned earlier on the Style blog, the entire store will be 25% off. Additionally, the boutique will be showing off the new lines they’re carrying for Spring, like Numph, a Danish import, and Mink Pink. Also, it’s hosted by ShmittenKitten, so if you’re angsty about your new (or old) boyfriend…
Our friends over at uwishunu spotlighted an event coming up on Saturday at JimmyStyle, where attendees can make their own terraniums with gardener Julie Henderson. The classy little glass gardens will be $20 to make, including all parts.
Lastly, Yelp.com, your (presumably) favorite “Where do I eat?” website, is hosting a Homegrown Philly party at CitySpace starting at 8pm. In an effort to make Philadelphians familiar with their local businesses, retailers across will set up shop, offering attendees (to the FREE event) the chance eat at Supper and Elevation Burger, shop and Sugarcube and Art in the Age, and grab a Victory Beer along the way.
Have a good weekend everyone!
