Before the V-day invasion….

Can we take a minute to talk about how there won’t be any Sweethearts candies this year? I don’t even like them – but they do bring back sort-of fond memories of hoping for many Valentine’s cards from classmates at school. But alas – I’ve found more exciting Valentine’s Day treats – and I’m excited to share them with you.

This year – I’m looking forward to a sloppy but sweet Valentine’s Day card-making sesh with my toddler (don’t worry – I know not to give him glitter yet) – as well as some fun collaborative events with other local businesses in Charlottesville. I also get to co-host a private “Wishlist Night” event in Roanoke – if this sounds like fun to you, please reach out to us, as it sounds like a lot of fun to us too!

Here’s what’s all on the schedule:

Feb 2nd: 2-5pm
BeautyCounter Pop Up with Cynthia Fortunato (Charlottesville store only)
Cynthia reached out to us because she has a passion for clean, safe beauty and skincare, and this fits right in with our message of self-appreciation and care. She’ll have products out to try, and has graciously put up a gift set as a raffle prize for one lucky shopper at the event – enter to win with either a purchase from her, or a purchase from Derriere de Soie.

Feb 8-10: 4th St Valentine’s Extravaganza
