An Eclectic Market of Makers and Curators in the event space of Manuscript.
This time we do it in the shadows.
Last months Market at Manuscript was tons of fun! This time we are running it in the evening for some after supper shopping fun! The Dialogue Station Market from 5-9pm featuring vintage, blown glass, home decor, clothing, rave hair, on-site braiding, permanent jewelry, fine art, & more. Sip on a Manuscript cocktail while you shop and support local makers and curators of Tacoma.
This Friday I will be posted up in the shadows just outside of Church Cantina on South Tacoma Way. Myself and select local vendors join forces for a special edition of Danse Macabre from 8pm – 1:30. Come embrace the darkness with delicious food and enchanting beverages, while being entranced by the musical selections of DJ Keypr & DJ Eir Flux.
April 12th 8pm – 1:30AM Church Cantina 5240 South Tacoma Way
Back from the dead!
Also I have resurrected the Occult Baby Head Cup from 2019! This little guy is the perfect vessel for all your sacred spells!
Let’s take a moment to appreciate “Occult”. The perfect gift for that special witch or warlock in your life. This particular Baby Head Cup comes complete with SpellLok TM already installed. Which makes it the perfect vessel for wishes, curses, hopes, and dreams. SpellLok TM has been specially designed to keep spells fresh and supple so when its time to enchant they are as potent as the day you conjured them. The Occult Baby Head Cup is available here!
