Art and Craft Show for Christmas Gifts

If you want to buy some unique gifts for family members for Christmas than the Morocco Shrine Art and Craft Show located on the east side of Jacksonville, FL is the place to go. They have a wonderful selection of goods and they are reasonably prices. Everything must be homemade, so you will not find any used goods.

We did some Christmas shopping early which has advantages, as even this craft show won’t be as crowded as the mall at Christmas time, plus you have already picked and paid for the perfect gift that is unique. No one else will have one just like it.

Variety of Crafts on Display

The types of crafts offered at the show include handmade baby clothes, baby blankets, aprons, dish clothes, table clothes, quilts, wooden hand craved items, unique photographs, wine bags, home made cards, canned vegetables and fruit, gorgeous stained glass and beautiful pottery. I saw some beautiful vases and decorated bottles. You can also buy home made candy made by this older woman that is to die for, especially the fudge.

On a more personal note, they sell clothing, all types of T shirts, blouses and skirts. You can get one lady to embroider anything you want on a piece of clothing and she does initials on towels. There are also many vendors that sell jewelry and some of it is really beautiful. They are truly talented.

Pretty Bow

There is every kind of Christmas ornament you can imagine, as well as, Christmas tree skirts, center pieces, window decoration, wreaths, Christmas gift baskets, beautiful angels, Christmas villages, Manger scenes and I’m sure some things I don’t remember,

They always have an area set up where you can buy food and drinks because if you are going to see everything it takes quite a while.  You really need to sit down and at least have something to drink for a few minutes.

Summary

We made several great purchases when we were there as you can see. We have the baby blanket and sweater for my pregnant niece. The Christmas stockings are for Mom and me; I mean how could I resist? The stained glass panels will be for my daughters-in-law. I'd call this a successful day of shopping.
