Next weekend, Dec. 1 & 2, I'll be at the PNA's Winter Festival, again, here in Seattle. I love this show. It's intimate, close to home, people are friendly, I have delightful neighbors and my kids can easily visit in search of treasures for themselves and to gift to others. This year, I'll arrive extra early both days, before doors open to the public, so that I too get to check off my handmade gift list.
The PNA is an organization I am proud to support, and I'm again honored to get to show at Winter Festival. The Festival supports PNA programs such as the PNA Hot Meal Program (formerly known as the PNA Soup Kitchen), before and after school child care, the Greenwood Senior Center, the tool library and the art gallery as well as community projects for neighbors in need and the Greenwood Food Bank.

The following weekend, on Dec. 8, I'll be at the 9th Annual F.A.M. Show, alongside 9 talented artisans. It would be a joy to simply spend time in the company of these women; to exhibit with them is a massive bonus. I'll hope to see you there!
