Craft Party at Purre
Purre Boutique, in collaboration with Creative Outlet Studios and The Makery, hosted a Craft Party last night at the CAMP. Guests were invited to come and make an anthropologie-inspired necklace during the night of social crafting.
The Craft Party was a great way for craft lovers to socialize and make something unique. As part of the Summer of Craft series, the necklace was just one of many different crafts offered. Each event is a new opportunity to create something original.

National Cheese Day in Costa Mesa

Hundreds of different types of cheeses from many countries exist.
