HAPPY PRIDE to all my girls, gays, and theys – I know it’s been a tumultuous time with Apex Pride this year, but it looks like Equality NC has swooped in to restore Drag Story Hour to the lineup. In addition to Apex Pride, there’s a bunch of other cool stuff going on this weekend.
So let’s lather on some sunscreen (safety first, y’all) and stay hydrated for some fun in the sun!

Mini Summer Expo – Art By Shalimar (Sunday)

Happy almost summer to you all!
I wanted to invite you to a mini expo of my small, 12 piece forest collection. I have never done a collection featuring trees in the past and I’m excited to share these pieces! I wanted to do a small exhibit for local people to view in person.
Wine and happy tree vibes included 🧘🌲
Please share and bring anyone to the expo that’s you’d like!
