Tinsel & Twine at Westside Provisions District

Returning for a second successful season, Westside Provision District’s holiday pop-up event, "Tinsel and Twine," promises to pack the season full of fun on December 8 and 15, 2012. Curated by the owners of Seed Factory, new details have been added to an already festive agenda, including hot cocoa from Star Provisions and a “Boutique de Noel” pop-up from garden and décor haven Le Jardin Francais.

On Saturday, December 8 and 15, Tinsel and Twine offers a visit from Santa with photo opportunities at the playfully decorated holiday pop-up shop located at 1100 Howell Mill Road, where shoppers can stuff stockings with goodies from a one-of-a-kind stocking bar featuring hand-crafted items created by some of the nation's best emerging artisans. The festivities are from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and parking is free. (Learn more at westsidepd.com.)
