Usually, when I check out of twitter and neglect the blog here it means that there are some extra exciting things going on that are keeping me busy!! That is certainly the case right now, I’m happy to report! We have been busy little elves around here, and I must implore you to buy local and buy handmade this holiday season.

Open Studios is presenting a juried Holiday Market this year in Boulder’s Twenty-Ninth Street shopping district. Please join us for a wine & cheese reception from 7 to 9pm this Friday, December 4th – get your ticket here! Or pop by for some great gifts any time during the first two weekends of December.

At the same time, there will be a reception for my hometown Handmade Holiday trunk show in downtown Knoxville, Tennessee on historic Gay Street next to Yee-Haw Industries from 5 to 9. Big, huge, thanks to Jill of Duchess Craft for putting her heart & soul into promoting local artists and for always calling me home & including me in her crafty plans. I wish I could pack myself into that big box of BirdDog paper goods that I just sent to her.

Buy Local! Buy Handmade!!!

My hometown loves handmade! Friends in Knoxville, Tennessee are hard at work putting together a seasonal handmade trunkshow for the coming weekend.
