Even Santa needs a little help this time of year, and the NQ is happy to step up


So we made another stop on our circuit of Craft Fairs: the Anna Templeton Centre. This arguably has the nicest atmosphere of all these events, a neighbourly kind of bustle accompanied by a communal playlist of seasonal tunes. On Saturday, Andy Jones insisted on giving me an afternoon break (kind of like having Harvey Keitel take your booth over for a while - Jones, by the way, is bringing his Queen of Paradise's Garden to the LSPU Hall later in December, and I'm definitely catching it New Year's Eve). I used the time to score a couple of gorgeous ornaments, including some from Erin McArthur. And what perfect weather to be Christmas-shopping, or even just Christmas-minded; a little snow, crisp air, those edging-towards-solstice sunsets. Meanwhile, back at NQ headquaters, we're still all about those Christmas subs, so keep 'em coming.
