November at The Shop: Cozy Days, Community, and Giving Thanks
As the air turns crisp and the rooftop herbs fade into their winter rest, The Shop is all about comfort and connection this November. From warm waffles and cookie clubs to gratitude postcards and a Thanksgiving Pie Party, we’re wrapping up the year with plenty to share. Join us for community events all month long — and don’t forget to bring a can or two for our Utah Food Bank Drive!
