Welcome to Sparkle on the Tree. I document my holiday finds, food, crafts, and more. Hope you find inspiration here!
Welcome to my non-exclusive list of Christmas craft fairs and holiday markets in the Seattle area and on the Eastside with a few options further north because I love a day trip. There are so many great events this year and I want to attend as many as possible, so I came up with this list to organize myself and decided to share it with you as well. The list is arranged by date and is a work in progress as I plan to add additional events as I learn about them.
