So, I managed to make it to Merry Mart on Sunday. It was a little smaller than last year (no upstairs) but the vendors all seemed happy. I always like to see what these tables have: Pellinore Press, Pinkkiss Pottery, Lola Miren, Red Prairie Press, and Jill Popowich. But I also found some new faves: Design By Night, Chocolaterra, and Mark Supik & Co. One woman could not believe the price for a handmade necklace at the Tu Vida table. (As in she was very happy.) And artist Shawn Theron (SOGH) greets everyone like a lost friend. So, where did you end up? Anyone pop over to the pop up shops? Two more great holiday shows this coming weekend—so stay tuned. —JED
