Dulcey does amazing beadwork, definitely worth checking out. Last but definitely not least - there is a holiday art and craft show coming up in Sonoma that should not be missed.

It is the Sonoma Artisan Faire and it's from 12:00-5:30 on November 23rd (the Sunday before Thanksgiving) at the Veterans Memorial Hall in Sonoma, California. Why should you attend this event? Because you want to support bay area artists and crafters, because you want unique, beautiful gifts for all your friends this year, and because the quality of goods is going to be fantastic. I've actually shopped with at least two of the vendors - This is It and Daisy Wares - and if their stuff is any indication of the overall quality of the show, it's really going to be amazing!
