It is procrastinators' delight with this weekend's last-minute craft fairs and holiday marketplaces on this, our last shopping weekend before Christmas. (Insert panicked shriek here.)
While we can't write about every craft fair and marketplace happening across the country (or the world), we do like to highlight a handful of notable ones each week. If you'd like more people to know about your craft show or event, list it on our Craft Map and we'll gladly consider it for coverage. You can also email us at info@craftfoxes.com.
