Craft shows are a way for local artists and craftsmen to advertise and sell their wares. Consider trying a craft show rather than going to a chain department store or bigger chain retailer to find your decorating needs. You can choose from one-of-a-kind pieces and perhaps even help a good cause since many booths at craft shows donate to certain charities.
Cat Welfare Association Holiday Bazaar
