In the first conversation of 2026, we will hear from a panel of experts in the field of interior gardening and floral design. Indoor plants and their temperaments, trends in floral design, unique ways to use plant and flower arrangements in your space, and so much more. Your ticket price also includes a book on interior plants. For OKC locals: our panel of experts includes the owner of Plant People, Christina Carter, and Kris Balaban, owner of A Date With Iris. You won't want to miss this fun and informative evening.

Our first puzzle exchange was a huge success! Join us again on Thursday evening, April 9th 7-8:30pm to exhange a puzzle in great condition with all the pieces, for a new-to-you puzzle to take home. Here's how it works:
Purchase a $5 ticket to reserve your spot, and arrive at Commonplace with one or two puzzles (2 puzzle limit) to offer up for exchange. Your puzzle will receive a number upon entry. Enjoy a fun beverage and a seat at one of our puzzle tables set up especially for the evening.
At 7:30 pm, draw a number to determine your place in the choosing queue. (If you bring two puzzles, draw two numbers.) A two and an eight drawn? You get to make your choice 2nd and again 8th in the queue. There will be two rounds of drawing to help keep the queue fair.
Puzzle, meet new people, shop, and receive an update page on newly releasing books we're excited about. Most importantly, go home with a new-to-you puzzle (or two!) to enjoy this spring.
