Since time immemorial, artists have created gifts for celebrations. The practice continues at area holiday craft fairs, where vendors will offer a variety of handmade items—everything from cookies and cutting boards to jewelry and paintings. On November 5, 4–8 p.m., the Middletown Art Center in Middletown will host its monthly Makers Faire and Open Mic; on November 6, 9 a.m.–3 p.m., the annual Crafters’ Fair will be held at the Kelseyville Presbyterian Church in Kelseyville; and on November 14, 10 a.m.–4 p.m., the Outdoor Fall Arts and Crafts Bazaar will be held at Harwood Park in Laytonville.
