Support A Good Cause By Shopping and Linky Party #205

 
Welcome to the 205th Masterpiece Monday!

 Hi Everyone!
 Do you have a local  Christmas boutique in your area that sponsors a good cause?
My church has an annual Christmas boutique to sponsor our missionaries in Mexico.
 
Spread more Christmas cheer this year and skip the mall for some (or all) of your holidoay gift shopping.
You'll not only help those in need, you'll also find some great handmade gifts, most at some pretty good prices! 
 
These are some of the goodies at my church:
There were cute, warm blankets for kids 
 
 
 
 
Really cute homemade Christmas décor and signs
 
 
 
 Hand poured scented candles
 
 
 
Handcrafted jewelry for $10.00!


Colorful infinity scarves


Hand knitted hats and scarves and hair accessories



Home baked treats


Quilted pillow covers


Knitted ornaments, heating pads and manicure in a jar  
 
 
What I scored:
An adorable wooden sign to decorate my California "fire place".
A beautiful necklace and super cute pink butterfly hair pins for my daughter.
 
 
A pineapple-coconut scented candle (it smells so good!) to give away to a friend or as a holiday hostess gift.


Fortunately, I had cash on me (usually I don't) I had forgotten that this sale was going that day. I think I'm going to plan better and buy more next year!

    Hi Mary, thank you for hosting today. I did go to 3 Christmas Church bazaars, they are always full of great hand made and baked goodies.
