One of the lead stories on the news last night was about the log jam of container ships off the California ports. The cargo ships are full of furniture, electronics, shoes, toys, car parts and holiday items. The reporter ended his story with the advice to start Christmas shopping early this year due to shortages related to transportation issues. I have a better idea! Shop local, shop handmade and shop to support outreach missions!.
Preparing for the holidays can be fun and easy if you did some of your shopping at the Quilts Etc. Sale and Auction in October. I always feel quite smug if I have a few of my presents already bought and wrapped before Thanksgiving. For your home or for gifts, these are excellent buys!
