Wine and Art Crawl a Success!

Past and Present Home Gallery was thrilled with the turnout for this season’s first Wine and Art Crawl! With over 20 businesses participating in historical Downtown Alexandria, the event drew more than 400 people!

Visitors to Past and Present Home Gallery tasted samples from the Empyrean Brewing Company and shopped great designs from KT Design. KT Design creates beautiful totes, zip-its, and other travel bags and accessories using oilcloth and flannel. KT Design also showcased several new items including yoga bags, glasses holders, and faux fur key chains. These fun creations are ideal for all family members on the go.

Participants had the opportunity to register for door prizes and explore all three levels of our store—especially our Man Cave and Diva Den. We met people from our community and visitors from out of town, even from overseas!

If you participated in this great event—thanks for coming out! We would love to have you visit us again and discover all that our store has to offer including KT Design items featured in our store all year round. Also, mark your calendars for the next Wine and Art Crawl on July 14, 2016 from 5 to 8pm.  Can’t wait to see you at Past and Present Home Gallery, the antique store with character!

Antiques to Mingle with Art

Historical Downtown Alexandria is hosting the first Wine and Art Crawl of the season on Thursday, June 16, from 5–8pm. The event starts at the AAAA Theatre where you can purchase your wristband for $5. Then you can tour the downtown and enjoy wine samples and refreshments, artist exhibits, demonstrations, and register for door prizes. Past and Present Home Gallery is thrilled to be participating again this year and we would love to introduce you to our featured artist: KT Design!

KT Design features tote bags in various color and pattern combinations. Choose your favorite today!

KT Design uses oil cloth for creating bags that are both stylish and easy to keep clean.

These beautiful creations are the work of a local designer and have become one of our store’s unique collections. The selection includes totes, scarves, credit card and gift-card holders, chap-stick key chains, car-caddies, and many other one-of-a-kind designs. KT Design uses oil cloth, where designer fabrics are adhered to another clear material to create a surface that can be wiped clean of any spills or splatters while maximizing your gorgeous sense of style.

Totes come in all shapes, sizes, and color combinations that make carrying around essentials look good. Large bags are perfect for beach and gym necessities, while medium and small bags are ideal for carrying books or lunch on the go.

KT Design Molly Zip-It's.

The Molly Zip-It’s come in two sizes and are a great accessory for your travel luggage. Car-Caddies are another unique shape that features a one-handle design useful for tying to the back of a headrest. The pocket is the perfect size for keeping mittens, remotes, toys, and other necessities.

During the colder seasons, KT Design features items created in designer flannel including infinity scarves and pillowcases in various colors and patterns. These super-soft items are the perfect compliment to your wardrobe and home décor.

As you participate in the Wine and Art Crawl you will get to meet the designer, shop her ever-growing selection in our store, and register for door prizes. While you’re here make sure to check out all three levels of antique, vintage, and collectible items—especially the Man-Cave and Diva Den.
