Books, Brews, and Tattoos with Old Stove Gardens X Lost The Plot

Join us for an afternoon of books, flash tattoos, making friends, and sipping delicious brews at Old Stove Brewing Co - Gardens in Ballard!

Here's what you'll find:

  • Indoor pop-up bookstore w/ curated picks to shop for new reads or begin your holiday shopping early!
  • Local tattoo artists offering bookish flash tattoos on-site
  • Book swap & exchange (see details below)
  • Opportunities to read, socialize with others, and make new bookish friends
  • Low-key, solo-friendly cozy activities such as card games, puzzles, coloring books (feel free to bring your own!), and holiday decor crafting!

Tattoo Artists:

  • TBD - Check back soon!

Book Swap:

Our book swaps are all about the cozy, casual vibes. They're designed to feel like a social event where you just happen to be surrounded by books. Here's how it works:

  • Bring 1-3 books you've already read (or ones you're ready to clear off your shelves). This event is not genre-specific, and any books are open. The only requirement is to please ensure they are in good condition; something you wouldn't mind lending a friend!
  • When you arrive, drop your books off at the book swap table (there will be signage!), then hang out, grab a drink from our host venue, and start browsing books you'd like to take home.
  • Please only take as many books as you brought in to keep it fair. In the last hour of the event, we will open it up to take as many of the remainder books as you'd like. Any books left over after the event get distributed to little free libraries around the city.
  • Throughout the event, you can also shop our curated book collections and add new reads to your TBR! Get 10% off your purchase from Lost The Plot by showing proof of purchase from our host venue. Purchase from LTP and our host venue is not required, but helps keep these (and other) events going!
