Handmade holidays sometimes require us to buy handmade rather than make absolutely everything. Balancing the two this year has given me more time to spend with the kids just dilly-dallying instead of frantically stitching and painting during every waking moment.
Tuscaloosa offers a burgeoning market for handmade local goods- the Maker's Market is the latest treasure trove where you can find a variety of makings at a variety of prices.
Stunning wood whistles from Wild Wood.
Festive baby bibs with ric rac trim.
The best of funky bow ties.
Delightful fabric birds, baby hats, and vintage quilt stockings.
Inspiring doily and lace stars.
Ornaments, baby boutiqueries, and handmade dolls.
And amazing knitted stockings...
But don't take my word for it- see for yourself. The Maker's Market is located in downtown Tuscaloosa across from the bus stop near the Chamber of Commerce. Your support of local artists, artisans, and crafters makes a positive difference in the lives of those living in our community.
