Holiday Craft Sales
Throughout the month of December, artisans of all kinds are joining together for various holiday art and craft shows on the North Shore. Each show is a little different, offering everything from live music, tasty treats, prizes and a hands-on craft table. And each show features multiple artists, showcasing handmade mittens, jewelry, paintings, pottery, ornaments, photography and more.
