MIDDLEBURY — Wondering how to make Valentine’s Day a little more personal this year? Check out the two upcoming Valentine card-making workshops on Saturday, Feb. 8 at Tandem in Bristol and Sunday, Feb. 9 at the Sheldon Museum in Middlebury.
Come make pop-up Valentine’s Day cards at the Sheldon on Sunday, from 1-2:30 p.m., with Sheldon Museum trustees Liz Markowski and Danielle Rougeau. Participants will have a choice of several card designs to assemble and decorate.

Tandem will host a more free-form card making workshop for Valentine’s Day on Saturday, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.
Looking for something fun to do with your sweetie? Tandem’s hosting a pop-up Valentine’s Day market and izakaya on Thursday, Feb. 13. What’s an izakaya? Good question.
