The DIME Store celebrates their fourth birthday this week. The store, which opened on South Locust in March of 2013, started out as a brick-and-mortar offshoot of Denton-based sellers on Etsy, the online market for handmade goods. Since opening their doors four years ago, much has changed for the-little-shop-that-could on South Locust St. Read on for more information on DIME and to find out how you can help them celebrate this Saturday at their annual Birthday Bash.

Read MoreWHAT WE DID: NOVEMBER 9TH
Another packed week in Denton. The DIME Store had their Handmade Harvest, we got to check out Summit Gym, people showed up at 7:30 a.m. for an InstaDFW photo-meet, and much more. We're sure the beautiful November weather helped to put us all in good moods. Although, the less-beautiful November allergies are kind of kicking our butt right now. Oh well. 72 degree weather makes it worth it.
Below are 19 photos from the past seven days of life in Denton, TX. We do this every Monday and call it What We Did. Photos are by both We Denton Do It readers and staffers.
If you'd like to be included in What We Did, tag your images with #WDDI on Instagram, and check back here next Monday.

SEEN & HEARD: NOVEMBER 2015
Oh November, let me count the ways I love thee. 1. The chill mornings are here to stay, and I don’t feel so ridiculous tromping around town in boots and swathed in scarves. 2. I am inspired to finally write that novel, thanks to NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). 3. I can soak in the beacon of Friday Night Lights at any of the area schools or from the comfort of my own Netflix. 4. I can practice thankfulness as I eat ALL the pie, nap off a turkey coma, and still buy the best Christmas presents during Small Business Saturday.
These are just a few of our favorite November happenings, but the TOP 10 Denton exploits for kids and families are listed below. Don’t see your event? List it in the comments!
