Join us on Saturday, November 23, from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. for the 36th annual Ten Thousand Villages Craft Market, Bake Sale, & Rug Event at Hyattsville Mennonite Church (4217 East-West Highway, Hyattsville, MD 20782).

Get started on your holiday shopping with Ten Thousand Villages and support diverse artisan cultures from around the world! Explore holiday decorations, home décor, art, textiles, handmade jewelry, accessories, and food items like olive oil and chocolate, all of which are certified fair trade and help create sustainable, long-term relationships in places where skilled artisans struggle to make a living wage.

Well-Paid Maids is committed to industry change by paying cleaners at least $26 an hour and providing benefits, like insurance and paid time off. This creates a better experience for our employees — and our customers.

It starts with scheduling online. When you book a cleaning, you choose a specific appointment time — not a large window — so you know when your cleaner will arrive. If they’re delayed, they will call or text you.

Darlings, you deserve to have a HOOT this holiday season! Join DC drag queen Tara Hoot for a night of stories, songs, and feel-good winter merriment to get you in the holiday spirit! We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, we’ll sing, and we’ll revel in the ridiculousness together! Because, let’s be honest–we need to forget (gestures broadly) everything going on in the world, if only for an evening! Cozy up and grab your tickets today! It’s my first holiday show and I can’t wait to welcome you!

Plus! I’m donating a portion of ticket proceeds to four amazing organizations, so when you buy a ticket, you’re giving back to SMYAL, Anacostia Watershed Society, Food Rescue US-DC, and the DC Chapter of the ACLU!

Potomac Roasting has just the right selection of coffees to make Thanksgiving even more special.

For Paige Strott, hiring someone to clean her two-bedroom D.C. condo is a worthy investment. It allows the busy professional to check a daunting project off her to-do list and spend more time with her friends and family.

But finding a quality cleaning company proved challenging.
