What's up in Arlington- 3/9-3/18
The Country Peddler show is back at the Arlington convention center this weekend and goes till tomorrow ending at 4pm. Three times a year it stops in to showcase crafts of all kinds. March, August and November bring people from all around to sell everything from homemade jellies, candles, clothes, quilts and just about everything you can imagine. Unique gifts and items can be found such as Downs Garden and Glass where they have beautifully designed stepping-stones and other stained glass crafts. A touch of Texas has embellished clothing, Yuletide Yards has bunnies galore cut and painted from wood to last year after year. If you'd like they even have little Easter eggs they'll paint your name on. There is nothing you won't find here. OH!
