You might be looking forward to it, you might be dreading it, but there’s no denying that the “Holidays” are here. I try to take it fairly easy this time of year but I do have some great opportunities for gift buying coming up, so mark your calendars.

November 21st - 30th, I will be having an on-line sale with 15% off everything on my website AllenMetalArts.com. I will also be offering free shipping to my newsletter subscribers, so look for that coupon code in your email later this month.

November 26th, enjoy the day with me and my fellow artists at the Portland Saturday Market. While the market runs through Christmas Eve, the Saturday after Thanksgiving will be the next and last time I will be there this year.

December 10th & 11th, my last show of the year will be the Wild Arts Festival, a fundraiser for the Portland Audubon Society. This show has traditionally been the weekend before Thanksgiving but it has a different date this year.

And you can find a large selection of my jewelry at Alberta Street Gallery, open everyday through Christmas Eve.
