A Capital Collection

Posted on November 21, 2008 in Uncategorized

Today is opening day of the 50th annual Junior League Capital Collection of Holiday Shops! A tradition in shopping you definitely don’t want to miss!

I spent the morning at the Mariott Wardman Park selling Books for Bright Futures bookplates to savvy shoppers (for only $5 you can help fund our JLW literacy programs!) while I watched some of the best deals get snapped up – the early bird chomped at the worm!! In addition to simple shopping, you can attend special events, Martinis and Mistletoe and (for the Moms) Shop & Tot.

Some of my favorite booths that you’ll want to check out were: Hollyberries, Ms. Chocolate, Pink Pineapple and Two Laughing Ladies.
