first fridays

May 4, 2018,  6pm-9pm
May's First Friday is always special.  Not only is the weather growing nicer by the day, but First Friday in May is always the launch of NarbART month.  This year's theme is Fairy Tales, so bring the whole family downtown to see the original fairy tale-themed art in shop windows all over the downtown. 

While you're there, enjoy:

• Fairy Tale-themed original NarbART in shop windows and storefronts all over town
• Live Music in two locations on Haverford Ave - at Sweet Mabel and Cadence Fitness
• Sweet Mabel - We'll have a Cinco de Mayo fiesta in the store and live bluegrass by Midnight Flyer on the sidewalk.  May we look forward to the return of Julia Hartling and wait with anticipation over what quirky theme she's chosen for her annual exhibit here. This year's inspiration comes from her fondness of vintage photographs that she's playfully illustrated in her own truly unique style. 
• Character Development:  Open late, with a sale on books.  Check out our storefront Fairytale Window in celebration of NarbART's annual May Window Art Project. Get inspired to create your own fairytale using the 'string' of story cards hanging in our window. Use 1, 2, 3...or all of the cards to write your tale! Story entries can be dropped off inside the store anytime now through May 31st, and three lucky writers will be chosen to win a Character Development gift certificate. Winners will be chosen randomly on June 1st (not based on length or content of tale).
• The Handwork Studio - Check out the 12th Annual Art Show. Come on down to Narberth this Friday to see all the hard work our students have put into creating their projects. We can't wait to show off all the amazing work they have created! Open House from 6:30-8:30, light refreshments and in conjunction with all the happenings in for Narberth First Friday events.
• Twice as Nice - Mothers Day shopping kick off with Kimberjay Designs Vintage Candy; "kids shop for Mom", wine, cheese, special shopping promotions, including "May The Fourth Be With You" during the day.  The rest of the weekend will feature more Mothers Day shopping, including beauty products and gift certificates.​
• The Pottery Corner - Come by for wine and cheese and cookies. Special Mother's Day Pottery Sale (20% off) 
• The Greeks Next Door - Beer tasting from 5-7pm.
• Spot's, the Place for Paws - Bring the pooch for a "Yappy Hour".  Beverages for adults and treats for pups.
• Nannygoat Antiques:  It's a bittersweet final First Friday for the Nannygoats, as they are moving out of their Nannygoat Alley location.  (New location to be announced in the future.)    Come by between 5pm and 9pm to say farewell, and enjoy a bite and an adult beverage.   Allison doesn't want to carry anything out of there, so help her clear out the last of the inventory.  Here's a message from Allson: "Please join us as we bid farewell to our Narberth space this weekend. In case you missed the big announcement last month, the time has come to close this location and move on. Thank you for loving the Alley as much as we have over the years! Don't miss your chance to visit us one last time this weekend, even if you stopped by in April. We're trucking fresh inventory in to make it worth your while, and it's all priced to move. We'll have $2-5 bins on smalls and you'll find discounts at our cost or lower on many items, plus 20-50% on others. So come on by and load up your car or truck. As always, delivery is available for whatever won't fit. We hope to see you this weekend!  Friday night: 5 - 9 pm; Saturday: 11 - 6 pm;  Sunday: 12 - 6 pm
  

First Fridays in Narberth are always a good excuse to get out of the house and unwind with friends and neighbors after the work week.

Sweet Mabel and Nannygoat Antiques usually have open houses.  Character Development stays open late and has their monthly book special.
