What November Brings

Welcome to Mingei!

Come to Decatur for Terrific Thursdays!

Decatur plays every Thursday night from now until Christmas (skipping Thanksgiving Day) with stores staying open late, offering wine, snacks and specials!  We'll be here on Thursday evenings until 10pm, pouring refreshments and offering 10% off on everything in the store.  It's great fun, and a wonderful way to socialize with friends and get your holiday shopping done.  Gather a group and come on down!  New things appear every Friday!

Also, we are hosting a series of jewelry trunk shows in November, featuring 4 wonderful local artists, on the next 4 Sundays.  You'll want to be here every week!  Read below for more details.
