UUSD to host holiday craft faire Nov. 12-13
Holiday shoppers will find a wide variety of unique gifts when the Unitarian Universalists of Southern Delaware hosts its Seventh Annual Holiday Craft Faire from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday, Nov. 12, and Saturday, Nov. 13, at the church at 30486 Lewes-Georgetown Highway, Lewes.
Special offerings include a wide selection of handmade gifts lovingly created by the congregation’s talented crafters. Items include hurricane fencing from local beaches made into natural and painted holiday trees; handprinted Santas on wood, each with their own personalities; handcrafted jewelry including hand-painted African beads; and a great assortment of earrings. Other special items include a variety holiday ornaments and hand-knitted and crocheted scarves, hats and gloves.
A unique boutique features retro and vintage items. Shoppers will also be able to purchase pints and quarts of a variety of homemade soups and homemade baked goods from the outdoor food tent.
“We are proud to host this lovely Arts and Crafts Faire for the seventh year. Each faire is special, unique and a labor of love. We again look forward to serving our busy holiday shoppers in a cozy and relaxing atmosphere,” said Gwen Johnson, UUSD fundraising chair.
Masks will be worn by all hosts for patrons’ safety. Shoppers are requested to wear masks while shopping indoors. Masks will be available if needed.
During the craft faire, a collection box will be provided for the One Million Trees Project in Ghana: SOS, Save Our Sneakers. Organizers are seeking donations of old sneakers, sizes 6 to 11. Donating shoes keeps them out of landfills and proceeds fund reforestation projects that help clean the atmosphere by planting trees, teaching agro forestry and providing sustainable income and jobs.
UUSD is a welcoming and progressive spiritual community with a faith rooted in love and justice. Proceeds will support UUSD’s mission to nurture spiritual growth, embrace diversity, work for justice and strive for a loving world.
