We thought the bracelet bar would be a hit with the kids… turns out, the adults are LOVING it too! 😂

We’ve been seeing so many adults stop in to make bracelets, and it’s been so fun seeing people of all ages get creative. The bracelet bAR is available anytime we’re open!

And if you want to try one of our other crafts — like candle pouring, or wood & canvas painting — we’ve added extra craft bAR hours this weekend:

✨ Saturday: 11 AM–1 PM

I had a magical evening as an honoree of the The Chamber ALX | Supporting Businesses & Cultivating Community 40 Over 40 class.
