Fast on the heels of a smashingly successful first trip around the sun, Andrea de Francisco’s MYSTIC at 31 Sunnyside, a vital part of downtown Mill Valley that has exciting history on its side, is back to celebrate another exciting event.
Andrea: “Join us for a cozy indoor holiday market featuring handmade goods from local artists and makers. Shop small, connect with our creative community, and find one-of-a-kind gifts for the season.
The market will take place inside our hallway on Sunnyside Ave, filled with art, crafts, and festive spirit.
Admission is free and everyone is welcome.
No need to RSVP – just come! Spread the word!
For those that missed the excitement in October, MYSTIC: Founded by Andrea, whose happy place has always been an art store, MYSTIC was born from a lifelong passion for creativity. As a child, she sold her art door-to-door to neighbors and spent hours making her own puff paint shirts—anything to bring her ideas to life. “That joy for making things by hand has been a constant part of our journey,” she says, pointing to drawing, painting, paper, kits, crafting, sets, fiber arts, sets for kids, and much more, along with tons of gifts and classes as part of her business’ dynamic.
As an adult, Andrea opened several businesses as a form of creative expression. Her favorite part of the process was always in the design—creating menus, designing merchandise and stickers, and making pastry signs. MYSTIC brings all of these experiences together to embrace the idea of creating just to create, making art for the sake of making art, and finding magic in the process.
Rooted in the belief that art has the power to heal and bring people together, MYSTIC hopes to foster connection and personal expression. It’s a space where imagination, community, and creativity flourish.
