Save the date, holiday shoppers

Some time ago papermaker Helen Hiebert and I put together a successful sale called Handmade Holiday, which ran for a couple years. In the intervening time we've discovered someone stole the name (the nerve!). We'll get over that, but we did miss the low-key camaraderie among participants, and the chance to make a festive connection with our lovely, loyal fans.

So here's a reprise: Saturday, Dec. 4, at Helen's house and studio, 2012 N. Emerson.

Look out for cards in your mailboxes, exhortations by e-mail, and further blog posts.

See you then.
