</strong>The University of Idaho <em>WomensWorks </em>Holiday Art
Fair features over 45 women artists from around the Pacific Northwest
region. Every year, the U of I Student Union Ballroom is transformed
into a magical, festive landscape of jewelry, handmade cards and
prints, beadwork, fiber art, pottery, stained glass, candles, soaps,
hand-blown glass, handmade paper journals, quilts, and more. In
addition to being able to peruse a dazzling variety of artwork and
crafts by local women artists, shoppers will be able to enjoy delicious
international dishes, homemade desserts, and baked goods prepared by
student groups and independent caterers. Live instrumental holiday
music will be provided by local musicians, and raffles of
artist-donated items will take place throughout the fair. </p>
<p><strong>HISTORY<br>
</strong>Originally started by local raku potter Rebecca Rod – who is
still producing art, but is now also the Program Advisor for the LGBTQA
Office on campus – the event has grown from a small, four-person show
in the old Women’s Center building on the U of I campus, to a a two-day
extravaganza of quality arts and crafts, international food, and live
music. Admission to the fair is by donation, but we encourage you to
give what you can. Every little bit counts! All proceeds from <em>WomensWorks</em>,
including shopper and artist donations and raffle ticket sales, will
benefit our Betsy Thomas Gender Equity scholarship fund. Look for
coupons in local newspaper print ads for a free raffle ticket or $1.00
off at any food booth!<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">During these challenging economic times I think it is more
important than ever to support community based businesses this holiday season. Of
course, BookPeople is every ones first choice for reading, gift wrap,
cards, blank journals, and sundry stationary needs. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I’d also suggest a visit to Crossroads Nursery
for a sensory extravaganza. I’ve blogged about it and included
photos <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://cleaning-house.org">http://cleaning-house.org</a>
(I’m not trying to get blog hits and my photos do not do justice to the
gorgeous staging and wide selection of items. There is something for every
budget, but the presentation alone is worth the short trip out there.)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m looking forward to reading other folks suggestions.
