“Do small things with great love” -Mother Teresa
Hello, sweet friend…
No doubt about it I’m a city girl… yet since moving from California into small town living…I’m discovering I am also… A country girl!
The Holiday bazaar season is like a Norman Rockwell painting…come to life…
Their signs are everywhere…
I recently attended 3 Christmas bazaars…
#1
We all know what to expect:
You walk into a church hall festooned with decorations…
that transform a humble space into a holiday theme park.
The tables are filled with homemade baked goods, and seasonal treats; the crafters have created one-of-a-kind gifts and ornaments; knitted, crocheted and hand-sewn scarves, mittens and pet toys are offered at hard-to-beat prices…

Holiday bazaars do more than just put shoppers in the spirit of the season…
They bring people together. Visitors run into neighbors and out-of-towners they may not have seen since last year. It’s like the mythical village of Brigadoon, which comes to life annually for one day of the weekend and melts away again until the following year.
I’m now hooked on visiting and patronizing holiday bazaars the money I leave behind…and the gifts I purchased are part and parcel of a small town holiday experience at its best.
