Artisan Bazaar Dec 1 is Ninth Annual for Kingston Church

KINGSTON, RI – The aroma of home-made soups from the kitchen and the sharp scent of greens arrangements from the back of the hall entice visitors to explore the offerings at the annual Holiday Artisan Bazaar at The Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd. The event on Saturday, December 1 will be the church’s 9th, featuring artist vendors' booths, café, and tables displaying hand-crafted gifts and much more. It will run from 8:00 am – 2:00 pm at 383 Old North Road in Kingston. The snow-date will be Sunday, December 2 from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm. Proceeds benefit both the church's ministries and South Kingstown CARES, mentoring disadvantaged youths in local schools.

Artisan Vendors will be offering a wide variety of fine work: unique jewelry, framed sea glass artworks, painted bird houses, hand-painted glass, wire sculptures and more! Hand-knitted goods and other craft items will also be offered, along with baked goods, a White Elephant room and a fabulous array of raffle gift baskets and specialty items including gift certificates to local stores and restaurants, professional services, wine baskets and artworks. The café offering choice home-made soups, baked goods and beverages is always a draw at this event, as are the beautiful arrangements of holiday greens for sale. The popular event has become a highlight of the Kingston Village Fair held every year the first weekend in December.
