Too much stuff to mention everything specifically, but be sure to hit Cherokee Street this weekend!


The Third Annual Cherokee Print League Holiday Sale promises art, gifts and fun on Saturday, December 4, from 10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.  (See sights from last year's sale here.)

Says The Firecracker Press:

On December 4th from 10 am to 7 pm over 40 artists will be setting up at over a dozen locations, ready to fill your holiday shopping needs with their lovely printed wares. Enjoy the local color of Cherokee Street as you mosey from Louisiana to Indiana and all state streets in between. Firecracker Press will be open all day, and we have some new items just in time for the holidays! Make sure to drop in, and visit the Cherokee Print League website to check out all the artists and venues. You can pick up a map the day of the sale at any of the venues. See you then!

Here at the St. Louis Curio Shoppe, 2301 Cherokee Street, we are baking up a fresh batch, or many, many batches, of Mr. B's gooey butter cookies! A St. Louis tradition!
