Weekend Forecast

🌧️ Expect a chance of rain on Saturday and temps in the high 40s.

Howdy, Nashville — Skylar here. The chilly weather has me curling up inside most days. Between this and one of my 2024 goals being to learn a new craft, I’m eyeing tickets to the hand embroidery class on Sunday. Keep scrolling for eight other upcoming events.

Hey y’all, City Editor Skylar here. Now that we’ve officially hit November, I’m beginning to look ahead to the holidays.

Typically, I do most of my shopping pretty last minute. This year, I wanted to try to be more intentional with my gifting and participate in Thriftmas. If you’re unfamiliar, it simply means thrifting or buying secondhand items to bundle together in a present.

First up on my list is my sister-in-law. She loves decorating and her and my brother recently moved into their forever home — so I see a “decor items perfect for styling built-in shelves” basket in her future.

If you want to join in on the fun this weekend too, visit our guide to 25+ resale stores in Music City.
