I’m looking forward to going to a couple of holiday-craft sales this year to find gifts for all of those people in my life who are tough to buy for. This Saturday is the first one, the BUST Holiday Craftacular. I’ve never attended but I’m very curious. A couple of friends are participating, and I’m interested to see what new projects they've dreamed up. The following Sunday, I'm participating in a sale at Divine Studio here in NYC. (Download the invite by clicking here.)That one is really an excuse to see old friends...and maybe make some new ones.

Anything with a name like Craftacular HAS to be good!

I am super excited for the Craftacular- last year was so much fun, and I heard that Amy Sedaris will be there- OMG!! I love that lady and BUST Magazine too!

What about the art festivals held through out the year those too are opportunities to support the arts or season tickets to the local community playhouse productions there are many opportunities to purchase high quality hand made crafts through out the year thus avoiding the fever pitch to buy and spend during madison avenues advertising orgy

Here in Chicago, we're gearing up for this weekend's Renegade Craft Fair, holiday style. What a great time of year for being crafty!
