Join me every Thursday during Truckee Thursdays in Historic Downtown Truckee for an evening of live music, local makers, delicious food and a chance to win all summer long. You’ll find me just in front of Uncorked.

Each Thursday, I’ll be giving away a $25 Cultural Threads gift card and one of our beautiful handwoven Sanq’apa wraps, woven by Quechua women living more than 14,000 feet high in the Peruvian Andes.

Every entry is also automatically entered into our Grand Summer Giveaway. At the end of the season, one winner will receive a handwoven sheep wool Frazada blanket, a remarkable textile that reflects generations of traditional craftsmanship.

I’ll be bringing new arrivals from Peru, one-of-a-kind pieces, and my favorite handcrafted 100% alpaca knitwear and home décor. Whether you’re stopping by to browse, enter the giveaway, enjoy the festivities, or simply say hello, I’d love to see you.
