40% off Halloween and Fall, while supplies last (excluding local art and Emily Lex).

We've got to make room for holiday merchandise, so our need for space is your good fortune... still plenty of fall left to enjoy these fun decorative items, candles, books, and other fun merchandise including some very cute baby pajamas!

Our weekend hours will be adjusted a bit so that our staff elves can complete their work (on Halloween this year), getting the store decked out and merchandise ready for our "Tidings of Comfort & Books" event on Sunday afternoon!

This event provides early holiday shopping access to ticket holders, plus we serve some yummy snacks, cocktails/mocktails, and give each ticket holder a special gift of a South & Pine signature jar candle (a $25 value) in a brand new seasonal scent! Get your ticket ASAP on our website (Click "Events").

The weather forecast for Sunday may look gloomy, but the shopping forecast looks AMAZING! We are unpacking more magic every day at Apple Books and South & Pine - A Lifestyle Shop! By tomorrow evening, we will be decking the “halls” and getting everything ready for our holiday kickoff event on Sunday afternoon.

The items pictured here (you can see more earlier on our feed) are just a fraction of the many decor, gift, and book (and bookish) items we will have ready for you to peruse as you check some items off your holiday shopping list.

Remember, this is a ticketed event and many items come in very limited quantities, which is why our customers really enjoy having a set time to shop (so that the store isn’t too crowded), help from ALL of our staff who will be here to help you, and first dibs at these unique items. Grab a friend and come join us - lots of good food/drink, music, and festive fun await! EVENT DETAILS & TICKET LINK in our “Events” section (under the “More” menu).

Message from Mary Katherine about tonight’s event at Blue Apple Books with Matt Kessler! MK knew the victims of the crime that he writes about in his newly released book, The Wiregrass, and she’ll be in conversation with him about ALL of the things tonight at 6!
