LoLa Art Crawl - Aug 25 & 26

Calling all artists and art lovers! The League of Longfellow artists (LoLa) is holding its 4th annual art crawl the week-end of August 25 & 26 from 10am-5pm. Billed as "the biggest little art crawl in Minnesota", 115 artists will be showing and selling their work at 69 sites throughout the Longfellow area of Minneapolis. In addition to artists studios, many of the artists are displaying their work at local businesses, including many of those that have been featured on this blog - Merlin's Rest, Harriet Brewing, Mosaic Cafe and Mother Earth Gardens, to name a few. Not to be missed!

This 'N That

Having a thrift store in your neighborhood is like having a year-round garage sale where all your neighbors go to buy and sell their stuff. This 'N That, located on 39th and Minnehaha, is just that kind of a neighborhood store. TNT sells second-hand clothing, furniture, housewares, electronics, jewelry and more. They also do consignment and sell Amazon recycled paint.
