We're all hearing a lot of talk this holiday season about shopping local and what it means to a community. But Talulah Jones shop owner Robin Lohre is doing more than that: Beginning December 1, Lohre will host a reception showcasing a different local artisan every night through Christmas Eve. Check Show and Tell daily to see who's on the night's roster. Lexis Grapp of Lexis Works storehouses scraps of paper, type and ephemera from around the world. They then end up collaged into inspirational works and turned into sweet prints that offer the viewer private moments in the midst of a hectic modern life. These would look great in any lady's private nook: over a desk or near a favorite chair. Lexis Works will be featured tonight from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at Talulah Jones, 1122 East 17th Avenue; over the weekend, Talulah's brings in assemblages and fabric collages by Lynn DiLorenzo of Soulful Home on Saturday at the same time, and presents repurposed jewelry from Beth Wood of Betinaworks on Sunday from 3 to 5:30 p.m. Visit Talulah Online or or the Talulah Jones Facebook page, or call 303-832-1230 for details.
