Keep it Local for the Holidays!

If  you've never checked out all the wonderful homemade local gift fairs that Denver has to offer around the holidays you are in luck - this weekend two of my favorites are taking place. I love finding unique and special gifts for friends and family that do not require a trip to the mall. Plus you get the warm fuzzy feeling from supporting local artisans and supporting the talent that exists right in your community. Every city has them and I encourage you to seek out your own handmade markets in your town.  Fancy Tiger is Denver's hub for all things cool and crafty with fantastic classes, events, and supplies. We heart them A LOT!
