Delray Under $50<br />
Most Fun Small Town, Most Crazy Small Town, Most Small Town that Feels<br />
Like a Big Town. Delray has it all. With a bustling downtown, Pineapple<br />
Grove area, and little nooks and crannies in between, there’s more<br />
to do in Delray now than ever, with events and happenings<br />
spanning from daytime to nighttime. While it can<br />
seem expensive at times, there’s a great<br />
opportunity to enjoy all the City has to offer<br />
without breaking the bank. Here’s what you can<br />
do in Delray Beach in <strong>January</strong> for $50 or less.<br />
The holidays are finally past us, and while we’re obviously recuperating,<br />
it’s also a great time to reboot. <strong>January</strong> is International<br />
Creativity Month and is a fantastic month to tap into<br />
your creative spirit (or lack thereof) and make something of it. If<br />
you’re not sure where to start the good people behind the 31st Annual<br />
Downtown Delray Beach Festival of the Arts have us covered.<br />
They are giving us the tools for success to either snag a creative item<br />
or indulge in the creative spirits to make crafty items ourselves. Either<br />
way, it’s a great win, win. Held Saturday, <strong>January</strong> 18 and Sunday,<br />
<strong>January</strong> 19 from 10am to 5pm, the juried art festival features handcrafted<br />
artwork such as glass, photography, painting, mixed media,<br />
fiber, jewelry and much more, from some of the most buzz-worthy<br />
names on the contemporary arts scene. The festival is held on East<br />
<strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue from Federal Highway to A1A, so it’s also safe to<br />
say this might be one of the prettiest venues for an art festival in all<br />
the land. Visit www.artfestival.com or call (561) 746-6615 for more<br />
information and event details.<br />
New Year, New You. Well, if you’re into<br />
it. There’s no better way to welcome<br />

the daily, including your wardrobe. If you need<br />
some fashion assistance, look no further than<br />
the Seventh Annual Delray Beach Fashion Week.<br />

for some inner and outer reflection, and you can find<br />
(mostly) everything you’re looking for in your own<br />
backyard. Fashion Week is held Wednesday, <strong>January</strong><br />
29 through Sunday, February 2 and is the best venue<br />
for being privy to the newest and best trends for<br />

Hot or iced, it’s all nice.<br />
<strong>January</strong> is National<br />
Hot Tea Month<br />
and even though us<br />
Floridians don’t get<br />
the chilly weather<br />
like our Northern<br />
neighbors; a steaming<br />
cup of hot tea is always<br />
a comforting treat.<br />
If you’re looking for a tas-tea<br />
and more elevated experience<br />
than your average tea packet from Publix, march right on over to<br />
Yaxche Tearoom, where they offer Goodwater, good teas, good coffees,<br />
good food, good gifts and good vibes. (Yes, it all is really that<br />
good.) Yaxche is the ultimate tea emporium because you can choose<br />
from more than 100 different types of teas from all over the world,<br />
so your options are almost endless, especially if you like to mix and<br />
match your teas. To make it even better, the tea-istas make all of the<br />
teas with Goodwater, which they claim is the purest and cleanest<br />
water on Earth. You can enjoy your tea hot or cold, pick out a<br />
sandwich, soup or salad from their menu, or a little sweet treat from<br />
their counter of goodies, and take a seat in any of the indoor or outdoor<br />
nooks and crannies of the eclectic space. You might only be a<br />
few steps from <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue, but you’ll feel worlds away. Yaxche<br />
Tearoom is located at 14 S. Swinton <strong>Ave</strong>. Visit www.yaxchetearoom.<br />
