Rawr!

We get a ton of comments and compliments from this here terrarium that our good friend
Tish Brewer of Buckethead + Bear made for us. So, we're super excited that she'll be back
here to teach another workshop! Join us on Saturday, February 18th at 11am and create
your own DIY Terrarium, your own world in a jar. You'll receive everything you need to create
a take-home mini ecosystem. Terrarium care is easy, no green thumb needed. Once the plants
become established inside the container, the terrarium recirculates most of its moisture and
requires only occasional misting. Don't fret, you'll go home with instructions in addition to your
new eco accessory!

In case you don't know already, Chinese New Year falls on Monday, January 23rd
this year. One of the most basic and generous traditions is the giving and receiving
of Red Envelopes from the older generation to the younger generation filled with
"lucky money" which signifies prosperity for the new year. So, we thought it would
be a fun way to start the new year with a workshop for making your own red envelopes
and lucky money.

Please join us on Saturday, Jan 21st 2012 at 11am for our Red Envelope Workshop.
We'll provide all materials and supplies, including a wooden Japanese envelope template
and cow bone folder (that you can take home afterwards), a screenprinting station with
pre-burned designs that you can use to decorate your envelope, and a quick lesson on
how to fold an origami heart to fill the envelope. As usual, we'll have some light munchies
and drinkies. So, come out and hang with us and make some fun presents for Chinese
New Year.
