Hi friends,
Holly Jolly weekend has arrived. I have always loved this weekend in Black Mountain. I became a potter when I moved here in 2010, and I was introduced to this notion of Holly Jolly through the Black Mountain Center for the Arts - which used to have a big pottery market and gallery show that opened on the first Friday night of December, so I was first introduced to this whole event in a super fun way. I was working at the Dripolator to make ends meet at the time, and I remember being told to really try to make it to Holly Jolly when the stores all stay open late. It's hard to describe just why that is so much fun - but let me tell you - it's like the whole town becomes magic.
I love Holly Jolly so much that I had my official store opening on this day in 2021. Tonight, Friday, December 5th, my store will be sparkling with cheer. All are welcome. We have a few special deals just for Friday and Saturday too.
FREE new logo tee shirt with any purchase in store of $100 or more on Friday and Saturday, December 5th-6th, 2025, AND
Mystery gift bags for sale, $50/each, with up to $125 worth of merchandise inside. What is in them? It's a surprise...but I promise you will be delighted.
My store stays open tonight, Friday of Holly Jolly, until 8:00, and I will be running my store tomorrow, Saturday, from 10:30-4:00 (when the Christmas parade begins).
Hope to see yall soon,
Sarah Vekasi
