A special limited edition Hygge tea blend will be provided by downtown DeKalb’s Thyme ‘N Again Apothecary. Local honey for tea provided by Big Red’s Heavenly Honey. \nFor September\, create watercolor postcards\, gratitude magnets\, and Zentangle-inspired patterns. \nIn October\, paint papier-mâché masks\, do folk art with stickers\, and make a spooky candle decoration. \nNovember’s event will feature three craft options: a stenciled tote bag\, flannel lap warmer\, and scented warmer discs. \nThis program is intended for adults.
