Uh-oh–craft show alert!
And if you’re anything like me, you’re asking, “Where?”
This Saturday, October 19th, the answer is, “Lakewood”.
That’s the date of the City of Lakewood’s 27th annual “Lollipop Lane Craft Boutique”, in Mayfair Park!
“Lollipop Lane” will be giving everyone a chance to get some early Christmas shopping in, at a time when we can actually enjoy the experience. For six hours, they’ll have more than 100 quality artists and crafters on hand, showcasing their work.
Just a few of the exhibitors you might see, according to Torrance Craftsmens Guild’s Facebook page, include Millie Zayn, with her handcrafted soaps and bath products. (Ohhh, that lavender!) Or Three Pine Hill, for jewelry with a delicate, chain-mail look (I love the Turkish silver flowers, but this will be your choice!). And if you’d like to talk to an L.A. County Fair First Prize-winning needle artist, say “hi” to Linda Jensen, of My Blue Heaven Knits! Linda designs her own patterns for clothing and accessories, and tomorrow’s your chance to see what she’s been working on lately!
Time to browse and choose just the right gift, unique gifts made with love and a chance to support topnotch artists and artisans? It just doesn’t get any better than that.
