Mark your calendar for the annual PebbleCreek Holiday Craft Festival on Dec. 7.
The holiday countdown this year is Sunday, Dec. 22 for Hanukkah; Tuesday, Dec. 24 for Christmas Eve; and Thursday, Dec. 26 for Kwanzaa. Then we celebrate New Year’s Eve on Tuesday, Dec. 31. Regardless of the holiday you are shopping for, we have the perfect gift including lights, decorations, and African trade beads.
The Holiday Festival is a blowout shopping opportunity for you right at home. Not only is the Expressions Gallery stocked with fabulous gifts but each craft room in the Creative Arts Center, all five of them, is filled with gift items for yourself and others on your list. And you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your selections with many of the artisans who will be on hand to assist you. If you are new to PebbleCreek, this is a great opportunity to explore the Creative Arts Center and experience the overwhelming wow factor of where you live.
Patience is the key to a fun and successful experience during the holiday shopping season.
Be prepared. The Expressions Gallery is always able to handle credit card sales; the other shopping venues are not. So, bring cash (lots of it!) or personal checks.
Charity begins at home and Mutts on a Mission Playing Card Holders, available in the Gallery, make great stocking stuffers and support the work of therapy dogs in local schools, libraries, and hospitals. Give them a supporting paw!
On behalf of Gallery staff and consignors, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
