out and about : Nutcracker Market

Even though Black Friday is technically the beginning of the holiday shopping season, in Houston, the Nutcracker Market is a must-do for holiday happy shoppers. I am (clearly) not shy to the shopping scene and made sure to go opening night of the Nutcracker Market a few weeks back. Reliant Center was filled to the brim with aisles and aisles of visiting vendors from all across the country. We browsed through everything from outrageous Christmas decorations (we may or may not have been at the North Pole), artisan jewelry, housewares, holiday sweets (testers? yes please) and, in typical Texas fashion, ANYTHING with your name, monogram or school logo on it (really... ANYTHING.. cups, pillow cases, cookies, picture frames, toilette paper... so necessary). If it helps, the event benefits the Houston Ballet (it's called philanthropic shopping).

This is not your mama's craft show...
