YuleFest

It was YuleFest weekend at the Nordic Heritage Center in Seattle.  We don't do a lot of craft fairs, in fact, we don't really do any at all, as they are a ton of work, but we loved being a part of this one.

This yearly event is a great fundraiser for an institution that works hard to continue the heritage of Scandinavian culture in the Northwest, and besides, it is really, really fun.  Music, shopping, food, and more Nordic sweaters and blonde hair than you could ever imagine.

It really is a great way to kick off the holiday season--and I love that it is the weekend before Thanksgiving, making the holiday season last as long as possible, and a little less busy once December hits.

Disclaimer: The photos below are from my phone.  They're a bit blurry, grainy, and it was beginning to get dark when I finally got a chance to take some pictures.  I was just too busy all weekend to pull out the real camera.  It is fun to get a look at this fantastic old building, though, and take a peek at our booth.

Welcome to the Holiday Season!
