Charlotte, our mom and I have an annual tradition that takes place the weekend after the weekend after Thanksgiving. Hey! That’s today!
We’re heading out to the Landmark Center in St. Paul, MN for the 35th annual Old-Fashioned Holiday Bazaar.
The historic Landmark Center. There’s public ice skating right across the street too!
The Holiday Bazaar is two floors of handmade goodies and treasures you can’t find at your typical commercial stores. It’s fun to shop with Mom and Charlotte because after we’ve gone through the entire affair we split up and buy stuff for each other.
Even without the Bazaar the Landmark Center is beautiful to look at.
Of course we’ll have a nice ladies’ lunch after our shopping. Then, after I get home I’ll start decking the halls of my house. The afternoon the the Landmark Bazaar has become the official beginning of the Christmas season for me.
Before the crowd arrives.

Sara I love traditions and this one sounded wonderful, i need to set up some new traditions for my young family, thank you for reminding me and the Bazaar looks fabulous.
The bazaar was fabulous and I even picked up a few trinkets for Christmas presents. The next tradition I’ll partake in will be going to Charlotte’s house (my sister) for the annual Christmas Eve morning caramel roll celebration. She serves mimosas with her homemade caramel rolls and the even has become named Champagne Jam. Whee!
