Ribbons and Bow – Holiday Arts and Crafts Show on the Way

With Christmas right around the corner, do you want to give gifts that do not come from a department store? Also, want to help out a local organization. Then mark your calendar for Ribbons and Bows Arts Craft and Gift show on Saturday November 12th.

I got a call the other day from Frances Neville, President of the Friends of Peninsular asking if I would be willing to share with you the information about the upcoming arts and crafts show for the holiday season.

Well, of course. I mean come on! I enjoy finding the unique perfect gifts to give my friends and family and I can't think of a more unique gift than something that was hand made right here in the mitten!

Here's the press release

How are you connecting with community this holiday season?

I'm going to be 100% honest. Dolls freak me out. So you won't get any competition from me buying the dolls. However, quilts?! YES PLEASE!

I had to retire my old quilt not too long ago as it was in literal tatters. I've been using a fleece fabric blanket lately, it's alright, but there's something to be said for a legit quilt. Like let me find a nice one like my grandmother used to make and you better believe that's a Christmas gift for ME!

Anyway, admission being a buck and it helps out a non profit, it's definitely worth the price of admission to mosey around and look (if not buy) something cool to give a friend or family member for Christmas.
