Handmade, Indie and Fun

Brand-new independent artisan group, Handmade in the South Bay, are having their debut “big” event this Saturday, with all kinds of amazing creations.   They’ll have at least twenty-five handmade-only businesses on hand at the Lomita-Harbor City Kiwanis Club, from 10 am to 3 pm for their “First Annual Holiday Boutique”.  Santa will be visiting, as will Eddie DeAngelini, of Collectors, to sign copies of his new book.  And you can bring the children for make-and-take crafts, courtesy of Brownie Troop 15585, Boy Scout Troop 851 and Cub Scout Pack 851!

And besides supporting and promoting independent South Bay artist/entrepreneurs, HMSB also offers a chance to “give back” at Christmastime.  Friends of Torrance Exceptional Athletes will be there to accept gently-used sports equipment and financial donations. There will also be a food drive for Community’s Child, a nonprofit dedicated to serving homeless women with infants.

Merry Community Christmas–and have fun this weekend!
