Hey there, shoppers! Here’s hoping you’re managing to stay warm today. What happened to our pretty fall weather? Hopefully it will be back soon. Should it not return quickly, however, fortunately we have plenty of festive fall events to make us feel warm and fuzzy.
One prime example: this Thursday’s “Treats for Treats” event in Historic Vienna, which will provide both the opportunity to celebrate Halloween a little early as well as the opportunity to help neighbors in need.
From 5 to 8 p.m., select merchants throughout the town will be offering special discounts, tasty treats and prizes to costume-clad customers who donate nonperishable food items. The donations, which will be collected by the Vienna Assembly of God Church, will be distributed to Food for Others and the Western Fairfax Christian Food Pantry.
A few of the special treats for donors:
–A free jewelry polishing cloth from Achikian Goldsmiths Inc., 131 Church St. NW
–A 10 percent discount on purchases at Applegate Gallery & Custom Framing, 101 Church St. NW
–A 25 percent discount on any one item at The Artful Gift Shop, 145-B Church St. NW (Plus, people and pets who wear a costume, receive a free Halloween treat.)
–A 15 percent discount on purchases at Ayr Hill Gallery, 141 Church St. NW (Also, a free Halloween treat will be offered to those in costume.)
–A prize for the best decoration of a bicycle helmet at bikes@vienna, 128 Church St. NW
–A 20 percent discount on any one item or 10 percent discount on entire purchases at Black-Eyed Susan, 132 Church St. NW (Also, a prize will be offered for the most creative adult’s costume and most creative child’s costume; and hot apple cider, cookies and other treats will be provided, as well.)
–A free Halloween treat at The Clock Shop of Vienna, 109 Church St. NW (Plus, refreshments will be offered.)
–An open yoga class beginning at 6:15 p.m. and treats at East Meets West Yoga Studio, 144 Church St. NW (Visitors are encouraged to wear their favorite Halloween t-shirt.)
–A 10 percent discount at Great Harvest Bread Company, 132 Church St. NW (Plus, a free cookie will be provided to those in costume.)
–Pumpkin decorating at Maverick Mosaics, 145 Church St. NW (The decorated pumpkins will be donated to area senior centers.)
–Refreshments for all visitors at Pear Tree Cottage, 130 Maple Ave. E
–A costume contest for dogs at Vienna Pet Spaw, 101 Church St. NW (The prize for the winner is a “We Wash” gift certificate.)
Have fun!
Previewing Nordstrom’s Exclusive New Moon Collection
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Wednesday, September 30th, 2009
"Bet You Can't Read My Mind" fitted v-neck tee, available exclusively at nordstrom.com/newmoon Oct. 1 and in Nordstrom stores Oct. 15 (Nordstrom)
Good morning, shoppers. I don’t know about you, but I’m a tad tired from the absolutely amazing U2 concert last night. Should you be in a similarly sleepy situation, and happen to be one of the millions of “Twilight” fans, good news: Nordstrom is giving you plenty of reasons to perk up!
In celebration of the super-highly-anticipated movie “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” to debut Nov. 20, the store is launching an exclusive clothing and jewelry collection, inspired by the film!
Whether you’re behind ‘Team Edward’ or ‘Team Jacob,’ you should find just the perfect look to stylishly showcase your vampire or werewolf affinity. And that’s without breaking the bank. From the collection’s fitted screen tees, tanks, hoodies, dresses and jackets to its plaid tunics and jackets to its silver- and gold-plated fashion necklaces, earrings, bracelets and key fobs, prices range from just $32 to $58.
Ready for the best part of all of this? Though the ultra-cool items won’t hit Nordstrom stores until Oct. 15, pre-sale orders may be placed tomorrow, Oct. 1, here!
