Walking through the halls of the Coppell Holiday House, one thing was quite clear: the holiday season is in full blast.  Our whole family had a wonderful time browsing row after row of talented, local arts & crafts vendors. The kiddos left the event feeling sufficiently festive, even to the point of feeling disappointed when we came home to find the house as un-decorated as it was when we had left.  Oops. Guess what else I will be doing this weekend?

The Coppell Holiday House at Coppell High School is always packed full of arts & crafts vendors ready to help you with all your holiday shopping. This one day event features over 100 small businesses spread throughout the school. It was no easy task to pick just a few to share with you guys.  But then again… is it ever? (The answer is: no, no it is not.)

If you love books AND are familiar with the alphabet, you are sure to love the vast selection of reclaimed books by Letter Lounge.  Seriously though, keep this clever gift idea in your back pocket when it’s time to start hunting for personalized stocking stuffers and secret santa / gift exchange ideas.

Unicorns, dogs, and hippos–oh my! There was no shortage of adorable crocheted beanies at Neu Thing’s booth.  It was the hippo that stopped me in my tracks (as hippos are want to do), and I found myself captivated by the bright colors and workmanship of each hat I could reach.

There is something clean, refreshing, and invigorating about Dashing Home Co.’s signs, but not nearly as clean, refreshing, and invigorating as my house would be if Alexa started pitching in. Just sayin’. Tick tock, Alexa.

An assortment of soaps in shiny silver buckets and across a shelf with twine and kraft paper labels. The soaps are marbled and in various shapes and sizes

If you were to shop the show by scent alone, your nose would have led you straight to Morning Blooms!  All of these gorgeous soaps are made with goat milk from Julie’s very own local goat farm. Their calming colors and subtle scents are simply dreamy.

Arts & Crafts Vendors Galore

It always saddens me that I can only cover a small percentage of the many creative vendors that fill these local events. There are simply so many unique artisans and crafters in North Texas. Even after attending craft shows for over a decade, I have yet to walk away from a show feeling like I have seen it all. The Coppell Holiday House was no exception.
