From an email:
“We at Violet Boutique are excited to announce that we are moving from our current Georgetown location at the end of November, and are headed to the Shaw neighborhood. You may remember that we relocated from Adams Morgan to Georgetown in 2016, and we learned so much by being able to expand our square footage, and by testing the waters in a retail-heavy neighborhood.
Our last day in Georgetown (3289 M Street, NW) will be Sunday, November 26!
1924 8th Street, NW
And in December – we’re back. We will be opening a temporary pop-up shop from 12/1 – 12/31 in The Shay (1924 8th St NW – the former Steven Alan space), and the tentative opening date for our new location (a few doors down from the pop-up space) is March 2018.
We are thrilled to be in Shaw, a neighborhood where community, diversity, and local businesses are celebrated. It’s a huge bonus for to be in walking distance of other local, women-run retailers like Glen’s Garden Market, Lettie Gooch, Cherry Blossom Creative, and Calabash Tea, and we look forward to the neighborhood’s vibrant restaurant scene, its proximity to Howard University (go Bisons!), and – most exciting for us – we look forward to welcoming in the Shaw community, and to meeting our future shop regulars.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
