Greetings Faithful followers! I am quite excited to bring you the following photos taken literally minutes ago! Like many of you, I try to make as few stops as possible during my holiday shopping sojourn. Searching for just the right items (unique, affordable, interesting) can be a tall order. Well, not today OR tomorrow! Just visit the North Market Holiday Open House and Craft Extravganza. Local residents in Columbus can tell you how scrumptious the food offerings are within this unassuming building. The crowds and filled parking lot can also attest to this fact.
However, now is the "best-ever" time to visit since 50 artisans of handcrafted wares have set up in the upstairs section to consolidate your shopping experience. We're talking independent labels, small businesses and budding talent! You will find screenprinted tees, baby layettes and outfits, handrolled polymer clay buttons and pendants, designer handbags from upcycled materials, vintage fabrics, felted pins and rings, clay covered knobs, pens, tins, etc. There's also dazzling stone cut and set in sterling...glittery crystals wired together with shots of color... its an event sure to stimulate all your senses!
Remember, buying local and buying handmade also helps the economy :-) It's not too late for you to check this awesome event out. Here are further details and a peek at some of our teammates making us proud.


Location: 59 Spruce St. Columbus, OH Sat 12/5 hours 8am to 5pm Sun 12/6 12pm to 5pm

A portion of sales go to Indianola Middle School to help their students in need.
Many kids come to IMS unclean and awkward; they need basics like shampoo, deodorant and sanitary pads.
This sale will help the IMS guidance department help these children. By making middle school less awkward, we hope to give them Pride and Joy once again!!
