Come out to Old Town Alexandria January 18th through 20th and pick up a new skill for the new year. Experience everything from paper and paint to fabric, yarn and more. Register now, and we will reserve this amazing limited edition tote for you, designed by Katie Gastley of Idlewild Co. With it, you can stop at each store to collect flair, visit a “make and take” station, and shop! Each store will have a limited edition enamel pin, made especially for this tote – it’s free with a purchase of $25 or more or can be purchased for $10*.

*While supplies last.
