Today we’re celebrating Qixi, the most romantic holiday on the Chinese Lunar Calendar. On this night, Niulang and Zhinü, the cowherd and weaver girl, are able to meet for just one night. Help them reunite by adding a mixed-media magpie to our bridge of magpies and stars to shine the way. Then, celebrate those you adore by making a woven paper heart and to share how you feel.

FREE! RSVP optional, but appreciated.
