Suzanne, I can hardly believe you are discussing Christmas Shopping already:)) I am glad it is for a good cause. I am still work mode not holiday shopping mode:))

Hi Suzanne,

In my opinion, there's nothing better any time of year than a good arts and crafts fair!  Sounds like a good one -- and proceeds support a great cause.  What could be better :)

Christmas , no this is too soon.

I will pass this along to the person who does the shopping in our family.  Thanks for the early notice.

Oooooo. This sounds so up my alley! I love these sorts of fairs. Wish I were close enough to go. I insist on being completely done with Christmas shopping and decoration buying before Thanksgiving week (so that only leaves 3 weeks to go!) so I can truly enjoy the holidays. Early is best!

I am usually the late guy running the mall the last two days.  But, this year, I have a list already and about half done.

Craft shows are great to find different items.

I think our sleigh made it's Christmas delivery during our trip to Bama.... Sounds like a cool event for those in need of marking Christmas shopping off their list early.

Suzanne, I like arts and crafts too. So many of the vendors offer good quality wares that are unique and make great gifts. We have a several coming up and hope I can make them in my area.

Sounds like a great event just in time for the holidays

Hi Suzanne -- a nice way to support a good cause and get holiday shopping completed without the rush of the mall.   

Hi Suzanne,

Have fun at the Arts and Crafts show in New Hope ( as opposed to Old hope?) and the proceeds being used for scholarship is obviously a worthy cause. Take care and another very good Localism blog.

I'm with you. I like to get the Christmas shopping done early. It makes the holiday less stressful in so many ways. One year I had it done by July, but that only happened once and I don't have it that together anymore...probably due to my advancing years. LOL.
