Tomorrow is the last First Friday of the year. Galleries, restaurants, wineries, and gift shops all over Spokane are open into the evening (most until 9 p.m.). I plan on counteracting the cold and drizzle by ducking into galleries, shopping local businesses for gifts, and warming up with a warm drink (or two!). A good friend and metal sculptor, Rick Davis, is opening at The Gallery of Thum on North Monroe—just one of the many Spokane artists who will be out and about tomorrow night.

Another event I’m looking forward to this weekend is the Two Women Art & Antiques Country Christmas show at the Moran Prairie Grange. Antiques, vintage holiday décor, art, crafts, AND espresso? Sounds good to me! Admission is $3. Hours: Saturday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.; Sunday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

One more event to put on your calendars!
December 10th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (did you mark your calendar?) is the date of the Winterfest Arts & Crafts Festival in the Hixon Union Building at Whitworth University. And I’ll be there! Stop by my table and mention the Dwell Well NW blog and you will receive a free Down to Earth gift! I would love to meet you.

The show will include baked goods, pottery, photography, jewelry, and many other handcrafted goods. (Oh yes, and paper crafts and painted pieces made by this craft blogger you may have heard of…). Did I mention the baked goods? I hope to see you there!
