It's been a while since we posted a calendar, but if it's not too late to invite you to all the holiday happenings this December, here is your formal invitation to allllll the festivities!
We'll be kicking things off with all our downtown Vallejo favorites at Vallejo's Mad Hatter Parade on Saturday, December 6th. The TBD Showroom will be celebrating with a MAD HATTER TEA PARTY and sharing new tea offerings starting at 9:00am during everyone's favorite Farmer's Market. We'll stay open through the beginning of the parade that starts around 4:30pm--so stop by for some tea, coffee or hot chocolate and get warmed up before heading over to Georgia Street. It's always a fun tradition and we love heading down to the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony around 6:00pm.
There is still time to sign up for our Discover Watercolor with Kris Goodie workshop on Sunday, December 7th! We’ll start with short, focused lessons on art supplies, color mixing, washes, and layering, then move into a guided still-life painting. Kris will be right there to help you troubleshoot, experiment, and answer all your questions along the way.
We continue a very busy week with THREE markets:
Wednesday, December 10th
Our first market is in Napa with the amazing Naysayer Coffee Roaster crew and a special Stoop Supper Club soup pop-up at the Annual Naysayer Holiday (Night) Market on Wednesday, December 10th from 5:00pm - 8:00pm. Naysayer is located at 1813 Old Sonoma Rd, Napa, CA 94559 so we hope you can join us and so many other amazing makers and vendors!
Thursday, December 11th
If you miss us in Napa, stop by the Benicia Arsenal Holiday Bazaar on Thursday, December 11th from 4:00pm - 8:00pm to check out other artists and vendors. We're so grateful to Once Upon A Canvas for extending the invite!
Sunday, December 14th
If a weekend market is easier for you, you can meet us in Oakland at the Preserved Goods Holiday Maker Market on Sunday, December 14th! We are so excited for this one and Kristin will be prepping her last batch of ceramic pickles for this one! Preserved is located at 5540 College Ave in Oakland.
And in between all the markets is Vallejo Art Walk on December 12th! Join us back downtown at the TBD Showroom anytime on Friday. We open at 10:00am and we'll be hanging all day and night for a special December Art Walk from 5:00pm - 9:00pm. This will be our official opening for the new TBD Tiny Gallery show featuring Tara Funk and her beautiful watercolors (originals for sale and in Mr. Lee's Art Machine!). Our favorite jewelry artist, Tangleweeds, will be popping up with lots of new work, and we'll have plenty of hot drinks and treats to keep you warm as you walk around and support our local artists and shops.
And as always, you can find us closing out the month with the crew at Coffee & Collage on Sunday, December 28th at Autonomous Gallery on Georgia Street.
Those are links to most of the events this month, but keep in mind, we will be open EVERY FRIDAY, SATURDAY and SUNDAY this month for all of your holiday shopping or coffee and drink breaks amidst the end-of-year craziness :)
- Friday 10:00am - 3:00pm
- Saturday 9:00am - 3:00pm
- Sunday 10:00am - 3:00pm
- Or available by appointment!
We know that everyone is busy, so we truly appreciate every moment you share with us and every dollar you spend in our shop to support us. Thank you for continuing to show up and bring your friends and family into the shop every weekend--this is how we continue to grow and strengthen our community. We hope to see you at an event, market, or at the TBD Showroom soon!
With gratitude,
Micah and Kristin
Is it summer already?! There are so many fun things happening in Vallejo this month. We hope to see you out and about!
