This is the second year we've been involved in this neat holiday home tour. It's a fundraiser for a couple of area churches and has exploded in popularity (suffering a few growing pains along the way). We've been busy getting our items ready for sale at house #9. If you're in our area, consider grabbing a friend and checking out at least part of this holiday home tour. Almost 120 area artisans have their wares for sale in 11 homes.
