'Mistletoe Market' to Feature Crafts and More

Coming up this Friday evening and Saturday morning, Wakefield's UU Church on Main Street hosts jewelers, wood carvers, a professional potter, and others.

The following was provided by the Unitarian Universalist Church of Wakefield: 

The Unitarian Universalist Church at 326 Main Street, Wakefield, will hold its eleventh annual Holiday Craft Fair Friday evening, December 6, from 6 to 9 pm and Saturday, December 7, from 9 am until 1 pm.  In addition to all the first rate crafts, there will be plenty to eat and drink, so bring the family and your appetites and do some holiday shopping while supporting local crafters.  The church is right across the street from the main post office.

The Mistletoe Marketplace will host jewelers, wood carvers, and makers of hand sewn items,  holiday ornaments, herbal remedies, body products, and inventive candy bouquets.  This year we will have a professional potter on hand, and visitors may try their hand on a pottery wheel.  There will be a group of glass blowers from the Diablo Glass Blowing Studio in Boston, and a Wakefield based bee keeper will be selling her beeswax candles and lip balm. 

Need a Pampered Chef or Tastefully Simple product?  Representatives from both companies will be there, too, along with Rada Knives. Our own craft table will offer catnip mice, hand knit mittens, angel ornaments, and homemade jams and baked goods will be available at the bake table.            

Friday evening, the UU Cafe will have a selection of delicious sandwiches and soups for sale, as well as hot and cold beverages for all ages.  Saturday morning, we will be serving warm muffins and hot drinks.  Don't forget to enter to win one of several Mistletoe Marketplace Raffle Baskets, too.  Drawings will be after the fair closes Saturday; winners will be called that afternoon. Shop locally, support local artists and craftsmen, and avoid the madness at the malls. Admission is free.
