Each December, local artisans band together to hold a Holiday Art & Gift Sale in Southborough*. Attendance is open to the public and free.
This year, the sale is scheduled for the busy first Saturday in December — December 3rd from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm. It will be held only* at L’Abri Fellowship Center, 49 Lynbrook Road.
15 local artists and artisans will be selling jewelry, fine art, natural body care, textiles ceramics, home decor, mini photo sessions, and more.
In keeping with tradition, participating artists “donate beautiful items for a raffle” to benefit a worthy cause. This year, the raffle will support the Southborough Food Pantry. Individual tickets are $2 or purchase 6 for $10. (The drawing will be at the end of the sale, with winners contacted to arrange prize pick-up.)
I’ve included a list of vendors scheduled to be at the sale. But first. . .
