Temecula's Newest Bookstore Hosts Holiday Pop Up Event Friday

TEMECULA, CA — The Spine & Vine, Temecula's newest bookstore, is hosting a holiday Pop-Up shop in front of their storefront on Friday.

The event will take place on Dec. 19 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the shop's location at 41789 Nicole Lane, Suite B5.

"Enjoy festive Christmas caroling by Chaparral’s Platinum FX Show Choir — returning from our grand opening!" Melissa, the store owner says. "Browse unique finds from Clark and Co. Boutique, a female-owned small business that has the cutest clothing!"

Other items to purchase include handmade glass beaded bracelets from The Current Co., a woman-owned small business that gives back to Lyme Disease.

The grand opening of Spine & Vine was a resounding success, with lines of shoppers wrapped around the building.

The independent bookseller made a name for herself with her Volkswagen Van, lovingly named Dewey, that she'd drive to local events selling books and trinkets with her mobile store.

She has hosted book club meetups at wineries and restaurants through the fall, and now focuses on her brick-and-mortar storefront. The festive fun with the holiday pop-up shop promises to continue.

"Bookstores have always been an escape and sanctuary for me, and I’ve dreamt about having my own for a very long time," she said. "I’ve longed for a place I could take my kids to that’s not a commercial bookstore but an indie, a local spot where kids and families could gather and take their time looking through all the pages and colors and shapes of all the spines stacked in their favorite nooks and crannies."

Come and check out Spine & Vine on Friday evening, and enjoy the holiday shopping fun! Let us know if you go, and tell them Patch sent you!
