Books, Blooms, and Beyond! @ Old Stove Ship Canal

Join us for an afternoon of community and cozy vibes surrounded by books, flowers, tattoos, and time to dream up your next travel adventure. It's the perfect excuse to get out of the house in the middle of winter and make new friends while supporting local businesses!

Each business will have their own "experience" stations with fun activities to take part in!

• A cozy mobile bookstore by Lost The Plot + book swap table: Shop for books, blind dates with a book, and bookish merch in the mobile bookstore! Plus, bring 1-3 gently used books to swap with the community using a table set up near the truck.
• A Build-Your-Own Bouquet Bar by Bloom Brats Botanical: Pick your blooms, play with color, and build a bouquet that feels like you. We’ll stock the bar with fresh, fun flowers and help you mix your favorites into something special.
• A free travel consultation with Offbeat Luxury Travel: You will have the opportunity to sign up for a consultation via Calendly or have a 15-minute speed consultation right on site for your next vacation. If you do not know where you want to go yet or when, let them help narrow it down for you. You will also receive 15% off their planning, research, and concierge service fee when you book your consultation at the event.
• Flash tattoos by an artist from Prince Johnny Studio: We'll have a tattoo artist on-site to provide flash tattoos at the event. Artist & flash sheets are currently TBD -- stay tuned via socials for more information!
• Delicious drinks by Old Stove Brewing - Ship Canal: Get a spiked hot drink or a pint of beer to relax with in their cozy event hangar! There will also be a food truck on-site for snacks and meals.
