Editor's Pick🎨 Calling all crafters

Meet the Greenville Craft Club, a group of creative Greenvillians that gathers every other Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. at a local business. Whether you're needlepointing, painting, sewing, knitting, or working on something else, the goal is to make new connections with fellow crafters.
As the group grows, they've also added BYOC (bring your own craft) events on weeknights and work together to create for local causes. |

Expect bold costumes, shameless lip syncing, and absolutely no dignity left backstage. Grab tickets for an evening of fun that does real good. |

It's coffee to-go. Boogie Coffee will start serving coffee and handcrafted espresso drinks, colorful cream sodas, and lemonade refreshers out of its 70s-inspired coffee camper starting next month. I can't wait to try the Boogberry Cold Brew, made with blueberry puree, milk, marshmallow cold foam, and maple syrup drizzle.

The Wrap
I know I've written about Sunday Crumb a few times already, but I promise you I daydream about these cinnamon rolls even more than I write about them. The next pop-up for the small business is this Sunday, Aug. 16, at 4 p.m. It's the first afternoon event and will also feature the first savory roll, made with spiced sausage, butter, red pepper aioli, and cheese.
I am devastated I won't be able to make it, so if you try one (or the new French toast flavor), respond to this email and give me FOMO. Reminder: Get there early — they always sell out. |
