Party on Franklin Street - Southern Living

We’re featured in the latest issue of Southern Living! They had some ideas for a party on Franklin Street (do you have any?! we’ve got lots) and were so kind as to include us! They especially liked our cute letterpress party invitations from Ilee Papergoods and Oscar+Emma.

Well-loved Chapel Hill establishments Top of the Hill Brewery, Julian’s, Sugarland, and 411 West were also featured. We’re honored to be included amongst such an all-star line up!

Evening with Ben Long - May 13

Last Tuesday evening, we had a reception to celebrate the opening of a special month-long exhibition in an annex gallery right next door to our store. It features the internationally celebrated artist Benjamin Long (UNC ‘67), a variety of other artists, and a new selection from Magoo’s incredible collection of antiques. A portion of the proceeds will go to benefit the Women’s Center of Chapel Hill.

Ben Long will be joining us for an informal reception tomorrow evening. He will be in town for several days to paint the portrait of UNC president Erskine Bowles. If you’re in the area, please stop by! The reception begins at 6:30 in our Annex Gallery, 144 East Franklin Street (right next door).
