If you are a follower of the Handmade Cavalcade, you are probably familiar with our Swag bags; the 200 goodie bags that will be available to our shoppers on a first come, first serve basis. This year's bags will feature a new original design. (Psst - it won't be unveiled until December 5th, the day of the Holiday Handmade Cavalcade). Each bag includes gifts from our sponsors as well as a combination of various contributions from {NewNew}artisans. For example, you may find:
Hair Ties by Ellis Design maker of hats, scarves and accessories

or earrings crafted by l'atelier des bijoux who also designed this beautiful necklace

Some bags may also contain sassy notecards designed by Cards in Stitches who is known for her hand-stitched work made from recycled materials

If you arrive too late to lay claim to one of the goodie bags, you still have a chance to win one of five hand decorated, one-of-a-kind bags as part of our raffle. Each bag is filled with 13 full-sized treasures donated by our artists. Among the many items in the raffle bags you will find rings by ElleFBijoux, vintage pendants by Lady Three, holiday ornaments by Rosirouge, and coasters by Elements4InspiredLiving. To enter to win these treasures, all you have to do is purchase something at the Cavalcade. Every purchase entitles you to a raffle ticket.

Can't wait to see you on the 5th with your shiny new goodie bag!
