The steady-ish stream of design showcases that have already come and gone in these early days of 2014 seems to be taking a slight pause, but there are still a few things kicking on this week's calendar for those in search of the new, the discounted, and the shopping experience that includes free booze:

THURSDAY MARCH 6

Plus they'll have refreshments that involve Bull Run Distillery liquor. Lena Medoyeff Studio, 710 NW 23rd, Thursday & Friday
