HI FRIENDS,
There are so many BIG things happening this week.
Tomorrow, our first online class kicks off! Thursday, we celebrate NH Business Review’s Outstanding Women in Business Awards. Friday, we officially welcome “Winter in the Whites” to the Gallery at WREN with our virtual arts opening and discussion. It’s a heart pounding mix of overwhelming, exiting, and inspiring, and we’re inviting you to be part of it all! Keep scrolling to see event details. Until next week, lots of local love!
Buy online. Shop in store. Whichever way you choose to shop at Local Works Marketplace and the Gallery at WREN, we thank you!
This week, we wanted to draw attention to all of the amazing Valentine’s-ready presents in our online store. From heart-shaped earrings to stained glass stars, handknit scarves, romantic candles, and spa-worthy sets, our local finds are one-of-a-kind, just like your Valentine.
If you live close by and need a present in a pinch, give us a call at 603-869-9736. We can pull some gift ideas together for you, or get your online order ready for curbside pickup!
