A day with my Mother-In-Law

Happy Eighteenth day of December.

It's just one week until Christmas and I wanted to do a little last minute shopping.

This year I'm trying to make presents and shop local artisans.  Though some of the presents I've purchased from large chain stores.  I guess I'm not all the way there yet.

With this in mind my Mother-In-Law and I went to the Winter Bizarre at the Miner's Foundry in Historic Down Town Nevada City .

There I ran into fellow blogger Erin Compton from Erin Compton Design .  She is amazing!  Raising two little boys and still she finds time for her craft.

Next, I ran into a friend of mine that I use to dance with.  

She makes these amazing ear muffs.

I also saw another friend from high school who now does healing massages.  

I should have her work on my knots one of these days.  It just sounds divine.

Now, that you think I spent the whole thing running into old friends.  I also was able to puruse the other venders there as well.

Here are some of my favorites.

 Now don't you think everyone needs one of these? A nail polish dryer!
 

I purchased Two of these silk screens.
 One for myself and one for my Secret Santa at work!
   

 This little sweater I almost bought even though there is no little one in my life.  

Then I though I'll take a pic of it a maybe reproduce it myself!

I just love my mother-in-law for being such a wonderful person and going with me to this fabulous event!

Happy Sunday!
