These decorative clothespin magnets by Julene Ewert can be found at Moscow’s Winter Market.
The holiday season has arrived once again, which means it’s time for craft fairs.
Sourced primarily with the wares of local artisans and crafters, these fairs can be an ideal place to find unique items that your giftee is unlikely to already have a closet full.
As trends and techniques change, so does the event’s contents. Depending on the fair, visitors can find handcrafted goods ranging from decorative artwork to functional handicrafts to edible items.
Many fairs also provide food vendors who make it possible to shop all morning, break for lunch, and go back at it.
