Aside from the wonderful shops and restaurants we have for neighbors on Fourth Street, we're blessed to have regular celebrations of local culture right here on our doorstep. One such party is coming up this Saturday, as Fourth Street rings in the Chinese New Year. The full day of excitement and fun is sponsored by Teance, the elegant Chinese tea room located across the street from us, and welcomes prosperity, health, and good luck all around. The highlight will be a colorful lion dance, which is meant to scare away ill fortune, by Kei Lun Martial Arts. Even the Pasta Shop is getting in on the festivities by serving up a full menu of Chinese New Year foods for lunch, and selling freshly made Jiao Zi (Dumplings) all day.Chinese New Year Schedule of Events

Thank you for visiting me. Your shop was fantastic. I bought some roving and other wonderful goodies. Your location on Fourth St. was a highlight of our trip! I did ask for you. I will contact you before I visit next time to see when you will be in. My friend will be back soon, there were a few things that she wished she would have purchased. Your gold paper trims...gorgeous!
