Even though we're bummed that Mount Pleasant mainstay Nana will be closing its brick-and-mortar shop soon, there's still something to look forward to — namely, the Handmade Valentine Mart happening on Saturday. This mini bazaar will showcase unique, locally made gifts, ranging from printed cards to cozy socks to money clips — all the little things you'd want to gift to a loved one on V-Day. Of the dozen-plus crafters featured, several will be on hand during the event to talk shop, so you can actually get the story behind your purchase. You'll also get to take in some live music, and, if you have little ones in tow, they can make valentines and get their faces painted. What's not to love?
When: Saturday, February 9, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: 3068 Mount Pleasant Street NW; 202-667-6955.
