Looking for unique gifts made by talented artisans? Check out the local crafts scene...
Holiday Heap was today in Charles Village, sponsored by the Charm City Craft Mafia

In case you missed it, some of the same vendors will be at the Creative Alliance on Sunday Dec 4th for Merry Mart http://www.creativealliance.org/events/eventItem2784.html
And there's Etsy all year round http://www.etsy.com/
Many of these craftspeople upcycle used materials like clothing, vintage maps, and found objects to fashion their art. Some of my favorites from the Holiday Heap...
