Ahhh, the holidays are here!
With the busy month ahead wouldn’t you prefer to skip the crowds at the big box stores and malls and find unique gifts for your loved ones at a cool holiday show?!  A one-of-a-kind gift made by a local artist is the ticket and if you bring your shopping list to any of the shows that Christina Wheeler of Symbiotic Form and myself are participating in you are sure to stumble upon unique finds from the many talented artists there.  If your calendar is jam packed with holiday parties and you can’t make these shows please support your local independent shops as they need our support more than ever and let’s face it, you find the best gifts there!
