First up on Thursday December 5th is the Madeleine Market (details to the right in Where to Find Me). Love this show...there's a tree lighting...yummy baked goods (why are they always so much better at schools and churches??) and WINE! Yay!
Second one on Saturday December 7th is the Winter Faire at Cedarwood Elementary. This is my first time at this show and I've heard gobs of great things so I'm super excited to have some fresh meat to add to my schedule...woohoo!
Last, but not least, Sunday December 8th is one of my favorite shows next to Crafty Wonderland....the infamous Laurelhurst Winter Artisan Bazaar. And yes, that's my lovely on the picture below. Not just one lovely, but two - the hat and my daughter. : ) Don't plan on just spending an hour here...it's a big daddy. Give yourself at least a couple hours to peruse the bazillion wonderful things to be found here. The kids make fabulous things as well at this show by the way.....
On a totally different note I had a show at a cute little school basically in the middle of the most beautiful nowhere I've seen in a while. Think rolling hills and farmland as far as the eye can see. I was lucky enough to meet a wonderful lady who proceeded to purchase an armload of hats to sell at the tree farm she and her hubby own - Shively Barn (30450 Sw Grabel Rd Hillsboro, Oregon 97123). I did a little online browsing this morning and holy cow this place looks beautiful! Take a look for yourself at the wedding shots that were taken here and lets cross our fingers they get a website of their own in the near future so we can see some more beauties of this place! In the meantime the opening day for trees is this weekend so if you're in need of some Christmas sooner rather than later go check it out. And stop by Ponzi Historic Estate or Ardiri Vineyards while you're at it since they're pretty much right around the corner.
Have a fabulous week and wish me luck....
