Flower Avenue Holiday Market

Kermit, blown glass, school bake sale at Flower Ave Market Dec. 17

An appearance by a human-sized Kermit the Frog, blown glass, and a school bake sale top the ticket at the Dec. 17 rendition of the Flower Avenue Holiday Market from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Located at 8809 Flower Avenue on the parking lot at the corner of Flower Avenue and Arliss Street (near Piney Branch Road), this week’s market is brimming with holiday fun and all kinds of local vendors offering everything from vinyl snowflake window decorations and hand-painted Christmas villages to hand-made jewelry, crochet-wear and rare books. There’s even a vendor who turns old CD cases into home décor.

Sligo Creek Elementary School will offer a huge variety of lip-smacking treats as part of its effort to raise money to send students on a French immersion trip to Quebec next year. Mindful Decluttering and Organizing is collecting hats, gloves, and scarves for Shepherd’s Table and a portion of all its sales will be donated to the charity. 

Live music and great food will be there, too. For all the details on a holiday market that’s doing social good, check out this week’s highlights on our blog post: ow.ly/80Khx
