Enjoy an afternoon celebrating the kickoff of the season with live music by Curt James, great food, and lots of goodies.

The Gifts that Keep Giving
Special to Welcome Home RGV
You’re invited to The Lamb’s Loom
Second Annual Christmas Bazaar, December 1 and 2 ! At the Lamb’s Loom, we like to encourage our local talent by giving you a venue to display and sell your wonderful and diverse creations. This year, our talented folks have outdone themselves!!! Our consignment peeps have been working hard and will have all sorts of unique, fun, handmade and economical gifts you’ll need for your gift-giving this holiday season, from crocheted shopping bags to handmade soaps to jewelry. AND, of course, lots of knitted and crocheted items are on the gift list this year! Maybe you just need a little somethin’ for a friend, or you need a special treat for yourself because
‘you have been good.’ Along with the handmade items, we offer classes in needle knitting, loom knitting, crochet, and Tunisian crochet, so perhaps a gift certificate would be the perfect choice! Always remember--shopping with us helps further the work of this prayer-shawl ministry, and THAT is a wonderful Christmas gift. We appreciate you all! The Lamb’s Loom is located at 1209 Pecan in McAllen, just inside Jac-Lin’s Florist. We are open Wednesday and Saturday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. and Thursday and Friday 10 am. - 5:30 p.m. You can also find us on Facebook or give us a call at 956-607-6855. Look forward to seeing you! •
three days, be sure to head over to Winter Green Estates, 500 N. Bryan Road in Mission for their annual December Flea Market. Saturday’s sale will begin at 7 a.m. and end at noon. What’s better than shopping for great deals? Getting to do it while eating! At the December Flea Market, you can shop AND eat! Breakfast will be served beginning at 7:00 a.m., and lunch will be served until 12:30 p.m. You will find holiday items, appliances, household goods, tools, outdoor items and clothing. (No outside vendors.) And because no meal is complete with a great dessert, the December Flea Market will also feature a bake sale. For more information about the event, please contact Merrie DeVoe at 616-826-6972 or Ace Astry at 816-808-0543. •
