Shopping on Black Friday -- or in most large stores on most other days -- is *not* my cup of tea. Supporting local businesses, however, *is* something I'm in favor of. That said, I'm happy to be among a select group of Houston-area artists-crafters-designers-makers whose handmade and/or vintage goods will be sold in Pop Shop Houston's curated market on Black Friday, Nov. 28-Sunday, Nov. 30.

Holiday Fest attendees will find a variety of unique items, including my vintage sign photos, jewelry made from upcycled movie film, and tabletop holiday trees handcrafted from old books, torn vintage map pieces, and more. It's an indoor market -- at Silver Street Studios -- and admission is free, so hopefully we'll have a great turnout. If you'll be in Houston that weekend, let me know if you'll stop by the Holiday Fest -- my first market!

Where: Silver Street Studios, 2000 Edwards Street, Houston, TX 
When: Friday & Sat., Nov. 28-29, 12:00 pm-8:00 pm; Sunday, Nov. 30, 12:00 pm-6:00 pm
