Here’s a shout-out to our BFF, Michelle!
Mark your calendar for Saturday and Sunday, November 21 & 22 (2009), and head up to Placitas between 10:00am and 5:00pm for the 28th annual Placitas Holiday Sale! Free admission at three separate venues allows you to enjoy (and purchase) art made by over 80 artists from New Mexico and beyond.
But that’s not all.
You’ll also enjoy free samples of hot, mulled cranberry wine, cheese, and more. Plus, food will be available at every site, so you can nosh your way through this shopping extravaganza!
Most importantly, you can buy a $1 raffle ticket for a chance to win one of several fine art items donated by participating artists. All proceeds from this raffle benefit the Arts in the School program at Placitas Elementary School. In the past six years, the Placitas Holiday Sale has raised over $6,000 for the program through this raffle!
What a fun way to kick off the holiday shopping season: a beautiful drive to Placitas, hot mulled wine, and leisurely browsing of fine art.
To get to the Village of Placitas, take I-25 north to Exit 242 (Bernalillo/Placitas), and head east.

Free Samples: Beauty, Body Care, More
If you’re seriously into product, we’ve got an event you won’t want to miss. And if you’re seriously into seriously premium product, so much the better!
On Saturday, May 30 (2009), Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy is offering a pair of events that involve freebies:
- From 11:00am – 3:00pm, product demonstrators will be out, offering you samples of a variety of supplements, body care, food, and drinks. Great opportunity to try high-quality, natural products before committing!
- While supplies last, receive a mini gift bag filled with assorted premium skin care and beauty samples when you spend $50 on any skin care products. Only 100 available, so we recommend being there when the doors open at 10:00am!
Pharmaca offers prescription compounding, along with a retail store filled with premium natural beauty supplies (like bamboo exfoliant), supplements, essential oils, hair care, makeup, and traditional over-the-counter medicines, like Sudafed PE. They also sponsor monthly events and demonstrations to help you live healthy and well.
Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy is located in the far northeast heights of Albuquerque at 8910 Holly Ave NE, near Trader Joe’s.
