Crafts from Ferris High School’s fair today

It’s official. The holiday craft season is now under way.

I just got back from the Ferris High School craft fair, which is a fundraiser for the senior class’ graduation all-nighter. There were some lovely items for sale (not the least of which was the chocolate doughnut I fell victim to in the concession stand), and I could tell some shoppers were making headway on their Christmas lists.

How about you? Have you started your holiday shopping yet? Do you plan to give handmade gifts this year? If so, whatchya makin’?

I couldn’t take photos at all the booths (I’d still be there!), but here is a slideshow of some of the products that caught my eye, as well as links to some of the vendors’ Web sites.

-Ragnazidnar : one-of-a-kind journals and gifts with an eco twist.

- Bizi Furniture Etc. : repurposed and revived furnishings and decor.

- Buttercuppity Design : purses, aprons, dresses, key chains and more made from modern, cheerful designer fabric (which owner Ari Rooney also sells by the yard).

- Andy’s World of Wood : desks, vanities and other handmade furnishings for children, made in the shapes of animals, flowers and other objects. Super cute.

- Savon de Zoe Ende : handmade soaps that look good enough to eat.

By the way, the craft fair runs until 6 p.m. today. You have four hours of shopping left.
