Girls' Night Out

It was a warm morning in August.  Me and Julie from Kitchen Gallery and ShopGirl Extraordinaire Kristi.  We needed a theme for our Fall party.
We were stumped. I stared at Julie.  She stared at me. Julie sipped her coffee. I chewed my straw.
 Julie flipped through her calendar.  I scratched my ankle. 
Kristi said, "How about Soup and Soul?"

 Perfect! She's a smart girl, that Kristi.

So here we go again:
Girls' Night Out... Soup & Soul


Thursday evening, October 21
5:30 'til 7:30 pm inside Fairlawn Plaza Mall
~ ~ ~ ~ ~

It's always a party: there's a bunch of laughing going on and wonderful music and all kinds of sips and samples and fun folks to talk to. 
Mingle on the mall and wander in and out of the shops: I'll bet you'll see people you know.

Here's the Soup part:
Julie has invited bunches of the Kitchen Gallery vendors in for the evening to demo gadgets and serve all kinds of goodies. The feast of samples is amazing: soups and breads and dips ... all the comfort foods of fall.
Kitchen Gallery expanded this summer to include a cozy new demo kitchen and a whole room full of Polish Pottery... stroll through and see what wonders the KG staff has wrought.
And of course, Julie will setting up her infamous
Girls' Night Out Wine-A-Rita bar! WoOOoOTTT!

 
Our new neighbors at Sweet! Cake & Candy Supply are loaning us their beautiful kitchen for a
6:00 pm Homemade Soup lesson.
And all evening,  Cindy and Susan will demo oh-so-clever ideas for all things sweet for the holidays comin' up. (Seriously, people, have you been in there yet? It's a visual treat: I love the rows and rows of sprinkles all lined up...and that wall full of cupcake papers might even turn ME into a baker.  Maybe.
Why are you smirking?)

At Dickerson's, we're moving into Christmas mode; come in for a sneak peek that night and have a cup of Aspen Mulling Spice while you wander. You'll need a drink: YUM Bakery and Cafe will be serving up samples of Kelley's homemade chili --- she likes it HOT and so do we! It's the perfect bowl of chilly-weather chili --
makes steam come out of my ears.

Lots of other Fairlawn Plaza shopkeepers will be at Girls' Night Out to strut their stuff, too.
Come by and chat 'em up.

And here's the Soul part:
 Please-- won't you bring a canned soup for the Salvation Army Food Pantry? Or bring six!
 It will warm your soul to share a blessing.

Bring a friend and spend the evening with us...
We'll be looking for you!
