Proper Topper, Washington, D.C. – April 23, 2026
This event is free and open to the public, but please RSVP here!
This is our opportunity to toast Small Wonders in style at D.C.-area institution, Proper Topper! Owner Anna had curated the most gorgeous collection of gifts, books, and self-care treats, and I am honored to be stocked in this special and beloved boutique. Join us for a glass of champagne, some light bites, and chit-chat! (Lots of great nearby dining options, too — 2 Amy’s is one of our favorites! Grab your girlfriends, enjoy a glass of wine, and keep me company before dinner out!)
You can pre-order my book at Anna’s boutique here and pick up the day-of!
Free validated 90-minute parking in the Cathedral Commons garage.
