Up on the Housetop

Up on the housetop, birds might find a very good perch, plus a well-built roof,

 not to mention the latest styles for family living. Even if you don't cater

 to our feathered friends, who can resist adding one of these rustic creations

 to their yard? I rather like the portraits in wood as well! 

Check them out this week at Holiday House at the Striplin Performing Arts Centre.

Jams 'n Jellies

Dear Santa,

 All I want for Christmas is homemade jam 'n jelly from Holiday House, but hurry, 'cause there's only one more day til it closes!  Thanks! 

Love, Rambling Round

Holiday House at the Striplin Performing Arts Centre downtown annually benefits Selma's Old Depot Museum. It's filled with arts, crafts and homemade treats. 

Holiday House, Stockings 'n Bags

Who wouldn't love a big white stocking or a whimsical reindeer bag for Christmas? The Holiday House crafts sale ends this weekend at the Performing Arts Center.

Christmas Trees and Bottle Trees

Whether it's Christmas trees or bottle trees, both can be found at Holiday House. This is the second and final week for the local Christmas crafts sale at the Performing Arts Center, and part of the proceeds benefit the Old Depot Museum.

Whimsical Whirls

Glistening glasses and practical platters are among the many arts and crafts offered for sale at Holiday House. Created by Laura Morris, owner of Whimsical Whirl, these bejeweled serving pieces would surely delight someone on your gift list!

Holiday House opened Monday at the Performing Arts Center and continues for two weeks. Proceeds benefit the Old Depot Museum, and this is its biggest fundraiser of the year.

Bright and Beautiful

All things at Holiday House are bright and beautiful!
This Christmas arts and crafts sale is an annual two-week event at the Performing Arts Centre, and this is the last week. While you're browsing and stocking up on homemade ornaments and jams and jewelry, don't forget the daily bake sale. Each day, a different organization brings cakes, pies, cookies and candy.

Homemade Peanut Brittle

Wouldn't this make a nice gift for somebody with a sweet tooth?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Walnut

These jumbo walnuts got recycled into whimsical Rudolph Christmas ornaments and are for sale at Holiday House. It's fun to browse a whole building full of crafts that local folks have made. I enjoy their creativity!

Holiday House

Holiday House at the Performing Arts Center is among the merriest places in Selma during the Christmas season. Its halls and walls are decked with ribbons and wreaths, ornaments, toys, jams and jellies, tons of baby things, aprons, birdhouses, nativity sets and just about anything your friends and family can wish for! Many of the items are homemade by area artists and craftsmen, and all are for sale. I found stuffed toy puppies that really breathe, angel ornaments made from magnolia cones, monogrammed checkbook covers, drink holders, and keychains; all kinds of prepared mixes for that holiday cheeseball or salsa, jewelry galore, kudzu jelly and fabric totes. Part of the proceeds will benefit the Old Depot Museum.
Oh! Don't miss the bake sale. There's one each day by a different caterer or civic organization!
