What:


BSM is hosting its second annual Knightsbridge holiday shopping boutique. Inspired by one of London’s most famous shopping districts, Knightsbridge, the school’s spacious Haben Center will be transformed “Brit-style” into a lively collection of 60 small boutique shops and market stalls:  think Union Jack signing, Beatles music, English Breakfast Tea served in a Euro-style café, and rows and rows of stylish, must-have goods.


A fresh mix of merchants will offer a range of one-off creations, tasteful treats and high-end artisan goods including fashion, jewelry, cosmetics & skincare, home accessories, and even fancy food.  Like its famous London namesake, BSM’s Knightsbridge caters to all tastes:  vintage, eclectic, trendy, and timeless. 


For those who crave the excitement of busting down the doors at midnight on Thanksgiving, BSM’s Knightsbridge is like Black Friday meets Small Business Saturday.  The vibrant market-hall venue, sensational variety and brilliant values all come together for a day long “shop small” event not to be missed.  And best of all, it happens a week before the madness of the holiday shopping season starts in earnest. 


When:


Saturday, November 17, 2012, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.


Where:


Benilde-St. Margaret’s Haben Center– 2501 Highway 100 South, St. Louis Park


Cost:


Admission is free and the event is open to the public.  All participating merchants will donate 15% of the day’s sales to BSM’s Parent Association.   Proceeds will be used to help us reach our goal of providing truly outstanding educational opportunities for our students and school programs.
