The eleventh Friday four of 2024

Happy Friday! It’s spring break in Iowa! It’s been a bit quieter here, which was good to slow down to spring clean, to get out the planner and schedule summertime happenings, and spend some extra time with the kiddos. Here’s a few of the highlights for this edition of the Friday Four:

1. I am really looking forward to the upcoming dates for creative classes at the studio in West Branch! We kick off Dried Floral Bar next Saturday 3/23 with gold disco ball vases then we have an evening Candle Pour Bar (as part of the Wednesday Night in West Branch) on Wednesday 4/3 at 5:30pm! With the sun staying up longer, I feel like we need to have some evening gatherings in the heart of West Branch… anyone else interested? Let me know what nights and times are best for you and we can add some more opportunities to the schedule.

2. I shared online yesterday that I am a huge homebody. Getting me to leave the comfort of my home can be really challenging. And, I am always grateful for the experiences I have when I step out of my comfort zone. What helps me confidently step out to try new things is feeling prepared. So, I wrote up a little more about what to expect at the studio in West Branch. I hope this helps answer some questions you might have (and if you have more questions, always feel free to reach out)!

3.  Have you visited the West Branch studio yet? Well, I am open today and tomorrow noon - 4pm for some open hours at the studio! Stop by and say hi! I’d love to see you. And, I am still running the Grand Opening Giveaway for anyone who visits in person, tickets will be accepted until April 6! Stop in any open time and fill out your giveaway ticket, no purchase necessary. Always check the website banner for updated open hours at turaluraco.com as we adjust some weekend hours for classes.

4. I am now booking out to May and June for Private Parties! If you want to host a celebration for the end of semester, graduation, a bachelorette, or some other reason to gather and create in late spring or early summer - let’s connect soon and get a date held. Private Parties at the studio in West Branch don’t have to be a huge gathering, I just ask for a minimum of 6 people. And I compiled a FAQ about private events, you can find that resource page here.

Sending you love and light, and I hope you are doing something wonderful this Friday!
