Happy Labor Day Weekend, y’all! The sun came out to say hello so hopefully this energy carries on into the weekend!

As you’ve heard me mention so many times, you already know where to find me Sunday. I’ll be at Habibi Bazaar for Tuft Your Cat Workshop, where you can literally turn your cat into a rug. The rug tufting workshop itself is RSVP only, but everyone can stop by the FREE cat-themed vinyl market and stick around for a live performance by Marley Moon. Plus, a portion of proceeds from the workshop will be donated to Houston Humane Society. 🐱

And I hate to say this while we’re celebrating Labor Day, but pretty soon we’ll be planning for Christmas. So let’s get ahead of ourselves in the best way. We’re giving away a four-pack of tickets to A Magical Cirque Christmas at Smart Financial Centre on December 8. Enter now and consider one holiday plan officially handled.
