Thank goodness for the SoWa Holiday Market. I needed to step up my Christmas shopping — and thanks to the delightful, dizzying array of local, handmade goods at the Cathedral High School, I was able to do just that over the weekend. Here are two vendors who especially caught my eye:

I love, love, love Eling Changs candy-colored felt flower hairclips, headbands, and pins. Could it be that her orange blossom clip ($7.50) reminds me of my wedding flowers?



And my bouquet:



I also drooled over Shara Porter's hand-printed vintage leather bags and clutches. She paws through thrift stores for the leather goods and then prints them with whimsical animals, birds, and everyday objects. What a fabulous idea:



You can snap up one of Porter's one-of-a-kind creations at Habit or Parlor — just in time for that office Christmas party or New Year's Eve bash.

Go Boston! Go local crafters!
