CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio -
With a taste of wintry weather under our belts this past weekend we know what is coming: the holidays. Like everything else this year, they are bound to look and feel different. But, if you have presents to buy and ship and stockings to fill, it is time to get your shopping started.
A couple of upcoming events over the next few weeks can help channel your inner Santa and get you in the Christmas or Chanukah spirit. The bonus is you will be helping the local economy by supporting local artisans and businesses.
Nature inspired gifts: The annual Holly Days Artisan Boutique & Mistletoe Market will be held 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on two consecutive Saturdays, Nov. 7 and 14 to ensure safe social distancing and monitored building capacity requirements per the state’s guidelines. Face coverings will be required for shoppers, vendors, staff and volunteers indoors and when social distancing is not possible when outdoors.
Held at The West Woods Nature Center, the dual shopping event includes handmade work by juried regional artists. The youth Mistletoe Market will surprise and delight you. The combination of artists will offer gift ideas suitable for all budgets. Typical selections are heirloom-worthy holiday ornaments, wreaths and other holiday décor, bath and beauty products, gourmet food and snack items, jewelry and accessories, decorative and functional pottery, glass and wood items.
A complete list of vendors for each Saturday will be posted at geaugaparkdistrict.org under special events. The West Woods is located on Kinsman Road in Russell Township.
Sip & Shop: One way to get into holiday spirits and shop local is to join the Chagrin Valley Chamber of Commerce’s shopping spree 5-8 p.m. Nov. 14 downtown in Chagrin Falls. You can sample food and a variety of beverages while you shop and enjoy special discounts at participating stores.
Starting at 4:30 p.m. in the Township Hall parking lot participants will receive a special tasting glass, a wristband, appetizer card and a canvas shopping bag. By getting your map of stores stamped at each location you can enter a drawing to win gift cards and prizes.
Participating stores include A Bit of Skirt, Blush Boutique, Fireside Book Store, Geiger’s Ski & Sport, Little Babet, Nouveau Vie, Popcorn Shop, Shed Boutique, Step-In, W Design, Town & Country and The Olive Scene and other shops. From 7 – 8 p.m. participants can enjoy a complementary appetizer at one of several restaurants, including Bell and Flower, Flipside, M Italian and Paris Room.
You can also shop at home and participate online. Your glass and shopping bag will be delivered and you can log in to shop and receive discounts. At home shoppers can participate live on Facebook.
Face masks are required when not eating and drinking. No alcohol can be consumed outside of the participating shops. Following state guidelines shops have reduced capacity, and attendees may have to wait outside to enter.
The cost to participate is $20, and pre-registration is required. Contact cvlt.org.
VAC juried show: Like Christmas, some things are too good for a pandemic to outright cancel. The 49th annual Juried Art Exhibition presented by Valley Art Center will open Friday, Nov. 6 in the Margaret Bowen Gallery at 155 Bell St. in Chagrin Falls. Juried by Bellamy Printz, David King and Michael Weil, the show includes about 65 works from more than 50 artists, some of whom had more than one piece accepted.

Art classes for the second fall session also begin this week, contact the center for availability. Masks and social distancing are required.
Recycle holiday cards: Learn how to reuse, recycle and breathe new life into those old holiday greeting cards you are holding onto from Christmas' past 6-9 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10 at The West Woods Nature Center. Brigitte Fiorille of the Fairmount Center for the Arts will guide you. Registration is limited and face coverings are required to attend the cost $5 for Geauga County residents and $6 for all others.
