The Arts and Crafts Winter season kicked off last Saturday at Jack Hulland School. They called it the "Haunts and Holly Craft Fair" and it was really impressive. Booths filled up both gyms and hallways in between.

Your Blogress started her Christmas shopping with a dog whistle from Rosemary Piper; a fluffy blue scarf from Shelley (who works at Super A); and the best AntiPasto in the world. The latter, made by "Kathy" includes cauliflower, mushrooms, dill pickles, black and green olives, corn, water chestnuts, green peppers, tuna, shrimp, crab, garbanzo beans, and onions. Diarm O'Donovan sold me on the deluxe version.

The next Porter Creek Craft Fair is 9th December, at the Porter Creek Secondary School, and I think it will be well worth a look.
