Homemade for the Holidays!

By

If you love buying handcrafted gifts for family and friends - & like the idea that you are also helping support your local economy - you can't beat shopping at local holiday bazaars.

There's a good one here in Lacey this Friday, November 6th from 4-8 PM & Saturday, November 7th from 9 AM - 4 PM at Thurston County Fairgrounds (3054 Carpenter Rd SE, Lacey).  This is the 18th year for this bazaar & there will be something like 100 different crafters with very cool, unique items to tempt you - 4 buildings full!    Parking & admission are free though food bank donations are gratefully accepted.  There will even be food for lunch or bake sale items available if you shop so hard that you work up an appetite!

In past years I have found scented candles, ornaments and other decorations, clever wooden plaques, knitted sweaters & hats and cozy, cuddly scarves, hand painted wine glasses & carafes, colorful old fashioned rag rugs, yummy jams, jellies, pickles & lovely jewelry of all types!

So much fun to browse, admire the talent on display - & get your shopping started!!

My wife always does a significant amount of holiday shopping at local craft shows.  The prices are great and the quality is good as well.  The best part is that you're often helping one of your "neighbors" make his or her mortgage payment.

Yes, I agree that besides finding really nice quality items it feels good to know the money I spend benefits someone right here in my community.

Shopping at those craft fairs and bazaars is one of my favorite things about the Christmas season.
