      All Souls Day Trunk Show with Michelle Arsenault
This event is free
Festa dei Morti eve celebration and trunk show! November 1 2025 11-3
All Souls' Day is the third day of All Hallowtide, after All Saints' Day (1 November) and All Hallows' Eve (31 October).
"As with other days of the All Hallowtide season, popular practices for All Souls Day include visiting graveyards in order to pray and decorate their family graves with garlands, flowers, candles and incense.
In Sicily and other regions of southern Italy, All Souls' Day is celebrated as the Festa dei Morti "Day of the Dead", Families visit and clean grave sites, home altars are decorated with family photos and votive candles, and gifting of chocolates, pomegranate, and other sweets and sweet breads."
So Michelle has decided to share the third day festivities with us on the eve - Saturday Nov 1 from 11-3 -
With a trunk show and treats!!
All her spooky graveyard pieces as well as other of her silver creations new this season and not seen at Bead Soup until now!
