This year I'm doing much of my Christmas shopping at local stores and buying from local artists.  The first weekend of December I went to Kennett and bought some gifts at the Adelphian Christmas Bazaar, where coincidentally my mom was photographed for the local newspaper.  Last weekend I went to the Kirkwood Farmer's Market (see my earlier visit here), which was transformed into a Christmas Wonderland. 

It was hard not to spend my entire Christmas budget here, but I was able to get several gifts.  I love that everything was from local people and I'm sure those receiving these gifts will enjoy them as well.
