Holiday gift shopping can be overwhelming, and sometimes the options seem uninspired. But if you come to Local Roots on Saturday, Nov. 26 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the first holiday Artisan Day, youre sure to find plenty of exciting new gift ideas for family and friends.
The artisan members at Local Roots have been busier than the elves in Santas workshop to create and craft new items for your enjoyment.
- Know someone who loves to cook? You can find serving bowls and cutting boards made from local wood, or you can surprise a friend with a beautiful new pottery dish, mug, or pitcher (and fill it with some of their favorite local foods!).
- Want to put some sparkle in her eye? Youll find one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces made by the artisans, as well as soft scarves and shawls from local fiber artists.
- For the children in your life, you can find locally crafted items ranging from bibs and slings for infants to colorful hats and toys.
- And the artisans have been hard at work making new Christmas ornaments to adorn your familys tree.
