The christmas craft show rundown

One of the things you could fondle in person!

One of the things you could fondle in person!

Here’s the schedule of local craft shows I’m going to be doing this Xmas shopping season, for you Victorians who wish to buy things from me in person. Those of you who live elsewhere, please note that during the following dates my Etsy shop and my Artfire shop will both be closed, and although I’ll be restocking after each craft show is over, the item(s) you had your eye on might have sold!
First up, on Saturday Nov. 14, (1 day only!), noon-11pm Igloo
This is being held in the Mariott hotel ballroom, so it will be big and swanky, with “smooth dj riffs”, whatever those are, a wandering fashion show and drinks. Plus it’s the first indie one of the season, so you’ll get best pick of the merch if you come.
Next is the Knitted Owl in Fernwood Fri nov 20 and Sat nov 21. Probably a more low key event, and charming for sure.
Then, starting Tues Dec 1 and running for 3 days, is the party disguised as Noel Bazaar at the Event Center on Broad street. It’s a licensed event with a huge change room! This is the 7th one they’ve had, therefore it’s the grande dame of all indie Xmas craft shows.
Last but not least, there’s going to be a one-day event at the Ambrosia event center (next to Noodle box on Fisgard) on Sunday December 20th. Here is the facebook event link So if you shop like I do and leave it ’til the last minute here’s your opportunity for a unique gift in a non-mall-like atmosphere.
Cheers!

    I’m glad you asked, Cara. It starts at 10 and goes to 4:30. It’s free to get in and there’s free parking in the parkade across the street. –ellen
