Holiday Shop Stocks One-of-a-Kind Gifts Crafted by Local Hands
Spring Hill, FL – Sellers and shoppers alike are poised for a new opportunity to keep things local during the holiday season when a new boutique offering higher-end arts and crafts has its grand opening Friday and Saturday.
From origins such as carpenters’ workbenches, home sewing machines and potters’ mud pits, 30 artists and craft makers have passed selective muster to display their goods in what originator Kathie Watson has dubbed the Holiday Gift Shoppe.
Watson, herself a crafter, primarily of jewelry, and owner for six years of the Creative Hands shop at 3477 Deltona Blvd., said of the seasonal endeavor next door: “We have so many area artists and crafts people; I want to give them an outlet.”
